Freeze Warnings/Watches for large parts of the Northern US tonight...

If you have outdoor plants, perennials, annuals and vegetables (including flowering shrubs like azaleas etc.) you will want to consider covering them over tonight with a tarp, old bedsheet, etc.

However I figure if folks we're to see this they'll be inclined to check their local weather forecast.

Seems an early computer model for what was then called The Greenhouse Effect found that, with enough energy added to the system, the jet stream would meander wildly and the model soon showed a week of summer, followed by a week of winter pretty much year round.

The model was discarded because, obviously, that couldn't happen.

On my mothers grave, that's how he told the story to me in the mid 80s.
