In reply to the discussion: Trump jokes and mocks about Freezing weather that could kill people without heat.......... [View all]flashman13
(2,145 posts)I've lived here for 50+ years and have never seen anything remotely like this. Last week we had a string of 50 degree sunny days. Two days ago we had a dusting of snow. That is the first precipitation in weeks and even then it was rain rather than snow. Local mountains that should be solid white are bare. Ski resorts are for the most part hurting. You can't make snow when it doesn't get below freezing even at night. Unless there is some sort of major change in precipitation, this year will see a disastrous drought. After taking economic hits farmers and ranchers are going to take a weather hit. It's -1 this morning. That is only the second time this winter that it has been that cold and that only lasted two days. The forecast is we will be back in the 40s by Monday.
In summary - Trump is an idiot.
