Usually by mid January most North Country residents are either looking to go south somewhere for a respite from winter or are anticipating a thaw from the relentless cold. Since November and December were relatively mild, we are experiencing our first real cold snap of the winter and it doesn't want to let go. By Thursday our high for the day will be 3 degrees, descending to around minus 17 for a low.
There has been virtual silence from the media regarding climate change since it looks like the administration's Build Back Better legislation is all but dead. Of course, we are still pumping gigatons of carbon into the atmosphere and for much of the planet, the result is higher and higher temperatures. Like the proverbial frog in the kettle, we are rapidly approaching the point of no return.
