Back-to-back winter storms in California this week have brought strong winds and blizzard, and freeze warnings, causing a state of emergency to be declared across more than a dozen counties.
Palisades Tahoe ski resort in the Sierra Nevada mountain range received 12 feet of snow over the week, with 2 1/2' falling in a single day on Tuesday. This brings its cumulative total to 14 feet for this season, making it the snowiest since 1970.
Yosemite national park recorded snowdrifts up to 5 feet deep, resulting in its indefinite closure. Snow even fell near Los Angeles which is 1/4 mile above sea level. Residents of the San Bernardino mountains have suffered collapsed roofs, frozen pipes and food shortages as access to communities has been heavily compromised. The sheriffs’ authorities have conducted 17 rescue operations, but it could take a week to reach some communities.

A Florida motorcyclist is facing multiple charges after he
blew through a red light while fleeing from local police and flipping them off seconds before getting T-boned by an oncoming truck. “Here’s a good way to get yourself killed,” the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a Facebook post.
The three-minute video shared by police shows Deputy Bissonnete attempt to pull over a group of motorcyclists who were “popping wheelies” late on Friday, March 3. One of the motorcyclists, Joshua Richardson, looked back and flipped police the bird before continuing to travel into the intersection – directly into the path of an oncoming truck.

Major League Baseball’s league-wide email, delivered late Friday night,
highlighted the fact that a quick pitch is an illegal pitch. Pitchers may not deliver a pitch “before the batter is reasonably set in the batter’s box,” the rule states.
In Scherzer’s eventful Grapefruit League debut Friday in Port St. Lucie against the Nationals, he tested the boundaries of the newly introduced pitch clock. Facing Victor Robles with a runner on first, Scherzer paused at the set for several seconds, prompting Robles to step out of the box — which a hitter can only do once during an at-bat.

In regards to those that choose to flee law enforcement, this stupidity will continue to increase until such time the penalties become severe. If the offender's vehicle is confiscated and sold (not impounded for later retrieval), operator's licenses revoked for x years, mandatory jail time for x years and financial compensation imposed for all damage incurred, this dangerous behavior will diminish.
ReplyDeleteI'm just So amazed that after all the years, decades, actually, of Global Warming, which,it should be noted, MEANS the Whole Earth is warming.
