In mid Missouri it’s 54f now and will be 24f by this evening. They are calling it a flash freeze. We have lots of rain on the ground so will be fun this evening. My retirement gig is driving school bus... they are doing early release today to avoid the ice.

After light (or should I describe it as extra-fine snow) all day yesterday we now have a clear sky and the 'mercury'
indicates -37 degrees F which according the weather network, is actually colder than the North Pole.

I caught something on the end of the news last night about a giant mudslide weaving through LA; cut to the next scene, and Oprah Winfrey is standing in it in her stilettos giving an animated description of the devastation. How quirky.

I really don't know why down here in Australia there is so much weighting given to US events (bushfires, of which a contingent of Australian firefighters went up to assist, as they have done many times), floods, freeze-overs, avalanches and mudslides...and every snort and gaffe from Trump is recorded (the latest being, "Trump attacks immigrants from 'shithole countries' " [Haiti, El Salvador, Africa]. Gawd. Nice man, don't you think?

The Australians have dealt with heat, drought, fire and flood and they can empathize with the fire and flood victims.

Hit mid 50's for the last couple of days, up from -12, the bad, nearly 3" of rain and all the ice has broken loose. We have 6-8" slabs of ice jamming the rivers causing flooding. Last time we had one of these, the ice lifted a major span off its pilings. Forecast for later today into tonight, up to .10 inch of ice coating everything, followed by up to 10 inches of snow with temps falling back to the low teens and sub zero overnights for the next week.

Here in North East UK it is dull, grey, and only 3degrees C a typical January morning. At least we don't have the extremes of heat and cold some places have. In an ideal world about 25C would suit me just fine.

The tragic part of the Monecito flooding is that these people did not live in the burn are nor the high risk brush area. They lived in the flats and therefore did not put themselves in a risky area. [I lived in a brush area for 25 years, cleared the brush back 200 feet, my garage was 6 feet above the street and the house was 12 feet above that.] They did not know that they were at risk nor were they warned to evacuate. Those that were warned were not warned early enough.

Highway 101 will not open Monday, it is closed indefinitely. The mud is so water soaked that when it is scooped out, new mud slowly moves in. The mud and debris must be removed, the roads and bridges examined and possibly repaired, the fence rails replaced, signs replaced and the lines repainted. This will take some time.

Sorry about the flooding, another storm and it will only get worse. Here in the low desert, high 70s, lows in the high 40s to low 50s depending on where you live in the Valley, about 10 degrees above our average.

So have we, especially in western Canada. Some of the fires are still burning underground.

Now it is raining hard most of the day. I have not been nor do I expect to have problems with mud flows, although some people nearby are suffering with it.

We woke up to find 2" of snow all over everything and temperatures in the teens F. Schools and many businesses are closed and will be Wednesday due to "black ice" on the roads and some bridges. Temperatures in the 70s F predicted for this weekend. Ah, wintertime in "northern Louisiana". It is 22:18 at the moment and the temperature is 18F......Regards!

40 celsius yesterday, 42 forecast for today. At the moment (6 am) its 23 and I have all the windows open. Last night whilst preparing dinner I measured the 'cold' water from the tap with my darkroom thermometer - 33 degrees. Good jop I didn't need to do any processing.

6C and a light rain; probably more of the same for the next week. But this is the "Monsoon Season" after all, so I take it in stride. I've been shooting HP5+ (at EI 1600) most days; the E100G or VS gets loaded into an F5 or F6 on those days when the clouds clear, the rain retreats, and the sun shows up. Doesn't really matter what the weather does; I'll be out with a camera regardless.
