snow fallen on azaleas - a photo on Flickriver

snow fallen on azaleas

It's not common to have measurable snow in Atlanta (though with climate change making nothing normal anymore, who knows what the future will bring?), so I wanted to share this last photo I took from my office window. I came south in '95 to avoid winter, and this one has been terribly cold, with nighttime temps for the last month or more in the low to mid 20s (F) and daytime temps barely rising out of the 30s. I am so ready for warmer weather!

Thomas Friedman in today's New York Times has coined the term "global weirding" to describe the effects of climate change. I wish the phrase had caught on instead of "global warming," which is but one symptom of climate change. How else to explain massive snowstorms in the Mid-Atlantic, rain in Vancouver, severe droughts in Australia, etc.? Sure, Arctic oscillation and El Niño are part of the equation, but why do so many still debunk even the idea of climate change?

I have bluebirds regularly eating seed from my tray feeder.
