and lots of fun and presents!

To my surprise, this isn't the latest-ever snow Omaha has seen; however, it did set three records.

But the important thing is: I DID NOT APPROVE THIS!*

One year ago, the mean temperature was 70 F, the maximum temp. was 81 F, and the minimum temp. was 59 degrees F. We got 0.68 inches of rain that day. That was MUCH closer to what I would call "normal" Spring weather for Omaha. After spring, we had one of the driest summers/autumns on record, and record-breaking heat days, too.

*No, really, the most important thing is, that this is what climate change is all about. Making weather unpredictable. All you have to do is think about growing seasons and agriculture to understand that unpredictable weather and climate variations would have devastating effects on world food supplies.  We've had plenty of moisture so far this "spring" but of course we can't predict the future unerringly under the best of circumstances. We've been getting better at forecasting over the decades of data accumulation and tech advances, but if the variables get unpredictable, we're toast.

Hope you've had a wonderful day!

Hope you have sun, warmth, happiness and CAKE!

Uh, 'scuse me, I have something in my eye...
