morning after snow
Persistent changes in the jet stream, perhaps related to faster warming in the arctic than the tropics, are producing strange weather patterns on the shores of the North Atlantic. Here my neighbor clears out his driveway this morning after last night's 13 inches of heavy wet snow, driven by gale-forced winds that have packed the snow against the tree trunks like so much wet cement. Since December the northeast US has had a snow storm like this once or twice a week, with the next one predicted for six days hence. The first one was kind of romantic, as first snows always are, but now its getting tiresome.
