OMM: it's past 1am orz
The fog was really bad where I live yesterday too. It even caused two fatal crashes. I didn't get to see much of it because my school had a two hour delay so I was sleeping but the few patches of it I saw were very ominous in appearance.
Early spring/late winter is really nice! The days are warm enough that you only need a light jacket, the breeze is a little chilly, and the nights are cool. The snow being gone for the most part is also a huge plus. The only downside is that this is the time when seasonal allergies kick in and start messing everything up haha. But other than that, it is pretty much the ideal climate! Late spring towards the beginning of June is really nice too with how it's warm but not necessarily hot and muggy yet.
But still. I took 5 years of Spanish in grade and none of that stuck with me at all orz Even only partly understanding another language, especially one like Mandarin that's so different from English, is really cool
*overly dramatic sigh of relief*
It does suck that all that vegetation's gone but there's an entire new thing of (temporary) land there!
At least there's photographic proof that it once existed
Average weather like cloudiness (clouds are interesting but them just chilling in the sky not really doing much is kinda boring) and clear days aren't too interesting either (at least not to me) but storm cells, man... Whenever it storms I always end up sitting in front of the largest window in my house with laptop in front me trying to figure out where the most severe part might go and watching just how fast the clouds are moving in real time compared to how fast they move on the radar. And there's tornadoes and waterspouts that are essentially just unstoppable, high speed funnels with no regard for anything in their paths. The fact that you can see the rotation on radar images too , , they're so terrifying they're fascinating
And thank you! The snow predicting models..? equipment...? (not quite sure where they get the accumulation numbers from..) are off from time to time. Hopefully that'll improve because there's few worse feelings than being told like 7 - 10in and only getting 4 - 6in. or vice versa. I'm sure in a couple years the technology will be better??? I hope it'll be more accurate at least
I found that the river in my town is very, very flooded I think it's at like 15ft currently compared to it usually being around 8ft or so
I also found out cloud physics are a thing
