The Washington Post reports that the "lower 48" states of the USA are enjoying spring-like weather. It quotes a meteorologist as saying 1495 record high temperatures have been reached during the month of February (as against 10 record lows); among them:

  • Magnum, Okla., hit 99 degrees [Fahrenheit, 37.2° Celsius] on Feb. 11 — tying the state record for hottest winter temperature ever recorded. Yet it occurred two weeks earlier than the record it matched from Feb. 24, 1918, set in the town of Arapaho.
  • Denver hit 80 degrees [Fahrenheit, 26.7° Celsius] Feb. 10 — its warmest February temperature on record dating back to 1872.
  • Norfolk hit 82 degrees [Fahrenheit, 27.8° Celsius] Feb. 12, tying its warmest February temperature on record dating back to 1874.

[Ed Note: it is actually Mangum, OK, not Magnum. The original WaPo article is incorrect.]

    When the person you're criticizing is as low-brow as Trump, there's really no reason to even try.

    I mean FFS, WTF is he going to do when there's actually a not fake terrorist attack?

    No, don't answer that question; I already know the answer. It used to be frightening to me, but who the fuck cares? Nobody wants a land for the free or brave any more. It's gone out of style. Who the fuck am I to tell everybody else how they should approach life?

    Only thing to do is learn to stop worrying and love the bomb.

    But I don't pay much attention to politics and have no idea how lowbrow Trump is. All I've heard for a year is what looks like morons frothing at the mouth against him. You are (and have been) driving people to support Trump by your actions. I was saying this a year ago and no one listened. Now he is president. It is just insane to keep up this drivel after seeing the effects.*

    *Note I am assuming that the people driveling are actually capable of something more substantive
