I posted this photo on Instagram yesterday explaining that I was writing to my U.S. Congress Representative and Senators to support permanent STANDARD Time (and NOT permanent DAYLIGHT SAVING Time like some Senators propose).
The AMA and President Elect Trump already vocalized support for permanent STANDARD Time. I knew this would stir the pot, so-to-speak. While most showed their support by liking my post, about 5-10% vocalized their disappointment with my position. One person (now blocked) even suggested I stay “in my lane” (weather) and out of politics. Say what? Shouldn’t we ALL be engaged in self-governance vis-a-vis politics? I called him a 🤡 and then blocked him. I honestly don’t have time for people like this. I rarely block people but will use that tool on anyone who is unkind or resorts to derogatory comments.
Is everyone ready for the most brutally cold air of the season early next week?
Weather
44% of the lower 48 states has at least 1” of snow on the ground. Amazing map! Look how far south the snow reaches (Arkansas, Mississippi, etc.)… yet most of Connecticut has bare ground. Fascinating.

Please see the non-profit organization committed to making STANDARD TIME permanent HERE.
FWIW, I personally made a donation to the above organization, AND printed and mailed a letter to U. S. Rep. David Joyce and Senator J. D. Vance voicing my support for permanent Standard Time per President Trump’s support and vision.
Weather
We are staying lighter, later in the evening now. Granted, it is only by 5-10 minutes, but it IS noticeable!
Weather
We’re going to have to go pretty deep into January to find any hint of a fundamental shift away from the persistently cold pattern. The latest GFS American long-range model shows that the general pattern is a cold one, even into the last few weeks of January.
