Weather or Not

"It Came From Out of This World"

This will be a powerful and very deep Spring Equinox occurring on March 21st also known as the Vernal Equinox.  

As with the gut wrenching winter we just experienced, in some parts of the country, people were caught off guard regarding just how low temperatures would plunge resulting in an unprecedented series of events in which millions of people experienced arctic temperatures never seen before resulting in water pipes bursting in homes, electricity unavailable, no cell phone service, grocery stores shutting down and gas stations running out of fuel.           

There were even reports that some homeowners resorted to burning their own furniture for heat and sleeping in their cars for warmth.  

I can only say, without much evidence to back this up, (just a very strong feeling I have) that the onset of spring this year will be one to keep our eyes on as I believe we're in for another round of weather that may take many of us by surprise.   

Let's just say that what just occurred in the central United States, Oklahoma and Texas was a wake up call, a tap on the shoulder, a cautionary and temporary episode but one worth heeding, taking to heart and learning from.   

All of us should be paying more attention to the weather, acquiring the tools necessary (knowledge) in order to understand and spot a problem before it gets too far ahead of us and learn how to deal with it.  After all, isn't it better to be armed with the tools necessary to thwart or at least slow down a potential problem or hazard instead of standing around, not knowing what to do? 

Remember, not one of us can escape the aftermath of carnage when the weather decides to go off the rails.  We'll all be involved in wondering why and cleaning up the mess. 

How many of us know what the jet stream is and how it works?  I admit I don't and will be posting information on it, soon.  How many of us know just by looking at cloud formations what they tell us about any imminent weather on the way?   

It would be good to have an outside shelter or set aside a place in your home you can go to in the event such weather does occur.

Think about this before you get too far into this year.
