Four Ekstraklasa games so far this weekend:

 

Game 1: called off due to snow

Game 2: kick-off delayed by one hour due to snow

Game 3: no problems

Game 4: interrupted after 30 mins due to snow. About to resume soon if anyone can see anything on TV...

I once was in the stadium for a  v  Rugby International - think it was 1983 - when we could not see even halfway across the pitch.  You just had to judge from the cheering on the other side to know what was happening.

Today in Milan we went above the 20° C mark  

(early) February is the new (late) Spring...

Mammoth Mountain, known to the forum as a frequent host of the freestyle ski/snowboarding World Cup, recently passed 700 inches of snowfall for the season. I know imperial measurements aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, so that’s just over 17.75 meters of snow. They will also begin April with a base depth over 7 meters.

 

It’s been a truly historic snow season in California. Records being shattered all over the state, and snow falling in some unusual places along the coast and deserts. Much of the state has gone from extreme drought to relatively normal conditions in just a few months. It’s been a wild ride, and some more mild, if not cold by Southern California standards, temperatures are expected to start off April.

Drama unfolding in South East Asia, where one can pretty safely say a lot of people who are alive at this very moment, won't be alive anymore by the time the day is over....

 

In the past few hours, after days of building up and eventually reaching category 5, the massive Cyclone Mocha has started to absolutely pummel the northern coast of Myanmar (and the southernmost part of Bangladesh). That's already a disaster by itself, but nowadays there's also the largest refugee camp in the world with hundreds of thousands of people there, it would not at all be surprising to see the entire camp being wiped out at this very moment...

It was 43 degrees where I live in California today.
 

We still have ski resorts open at the higher elevations 

 

The Golden State really does have it all

The last time a tropical storm made in landfall in California was 1939.

The first ever tropical storm watch was issued for part of Southern California today. Baja California (the peninsula that’s part of Mexico) might take the worst of the storm, but it might still severely impact Southern California. The foothills outside my town are supposed to get an obscene amount of rain by out standards. Hopefully our drainage improvements in the last two/three decades haven’t been for nothing.

There are some really bad fires ongoing in Canada as well. Kelwona and Yellowknife seem to be the communities most affected from the reporting I’ve seen.

Really weird weather lately. At same time Prague barely 14 and cold, here 34 and unsupportable heat (both cities are yeah let say a good hour by plane...)
