Got nothin' in the way of a topic today, so I'm looking at the weather around the U.S. and touching on the weather in the UK.
Freezing rain, snow, and sleet hit New York; and a storm with more snow is predicted. A headline from Syracuse says "So much snow that some schools in Central New York won't start on time."
Meanwhile a warning of fire danger was posted for Tulsa, Oklahoma on the 6th. The danger is due to dry conditions and high winds.
In both the Northwest and most of Alaska snow levels have been low this year. In Alaska sled makers and mushers are preparing for warm-weather competitions (Iditarod and other dogsled races). A map of the current state of Alaska's snowfall can be found at the National Weather Service site.
In Los Angeles a dog was rescued from the swollen Los Angeles river. After several years of drought, a 'River of Rain' is falling on California.
The UK is enduring what they call the 'winter misery'. Here's an article about heavy snows on the 5th. Other articles talk about low temperatures and torrential rains, all in the space of February 2015.
Miami, Florida, is balmy, for now.
