Here is a non-political comment: It's bloody cold everywhere this time of year, including Baja. Some're colder than others.

There were these three Eskimos in Alaska, and one time while they were
at their local bar, they got to talking about how cold it was outside, and
how cold their igloos were. They could agree on everything but whose igloo
was the coldest, so they decided to determine who, indeed, had the coldest
igloo.
They went to the first Eskimo's igloo, where he said "Watch this!" and
poured a cup of water into the air. Well, the water froze in mid-air and
fell onto the floor.
"Not bad" said the other Eskimos, but each maintained their igloo was
colder still.
So they went to the second Eskimo's igloo, and he said "Watch this!"
and took a big breath and exhaled, whereupon his breath froze into a
big lump and fell to the floor.
"Wow, that's colder than mine! "said the first Eskimo. But the third
Eskimo exclaimed his was colder still. So they ended up at the third
Eskimo's igloo. He said "Watch this!" and went into the bedroom, threw
back the thick furs, and retrieved one of several small balls of ice
there. He took it, put it in a spoon, and held a match under it. When
it heated up enough, it went "FFFAAAARRRRTTT".
He won.

And it's looking particularly glorious down there. I could say: global warming? Bring it on! But some might take me seriously.

You lucky dog. Don't forget to post some pics of those clams and oysters. That ought to get me thru until the end of February when I go.

Sandy Eggo, huh? See you at Cheswick's tomorrow? <g>
Btw, I'm not so good about photos (taking or posting).

This is indeed the worst storm in recent decades. And guess what..? It gets worse. Another is coming right behind this one.
Those of you who live in the southern comfort zone of the USA are fortunate and not in any danger whatsoever.....the 100 million others who live
further north and northeast are the ones in harm's way.
There does not seem to be too many responses from that part of the country, does there? Wonder why..hmmm....does not the whole world read BajaNomads
with thier coffee?

Very weird weather all over the world now...worst storm ever is now hitting NE shores of Australia. The cyclone is a cat 5..180mph winds. Battering
the Great Barrier Reef now. Unbelievable coincidences of major storms happening all over the place.
Huge winds now in Coyote Bay, Baja..gusting to back-up-to-bark time for my pooch.
Reminds of some late movie about world-wide weather disasters I watched recently.
These current weather reports could be the script for that thriller movie.
Methinks someone ..or something..is ticked off!

Oklahoma Blizzard 2011 Report
We are here in Northeast Oklahoma just outside of Tulsa in a town called Skiatook and I want to tell you this was a bad storm. Officially in Tulsa
the all time snow record was set yesterday with 14.0" to top the previous record of 12.9". Our local snow total was 17.5" with drifts pushing three
feet. Everything remains closed here and only our ATV's have been able to make any progress over the snow.
The National guard has been called out to help with the highways which were closed in and out of Tulsa. A roof at the Hard Rock casino collapsed and
no newspaper was published for the first time in the history of the"Tulsa World". Snow plow trucks were getting stuck by driving off roads because
they could not see where the roads were in the blowing snow. Tonight the low temp. is to hit minus 10 which is a little worrisome.
For us, we have lots of wood, fuel and food stocked into our place so our family and pets are fine but weather like this sure makes you miss Mulege
and heading down to the Jungla in the afternoon!.

I sure wish you well in Skiatook, BajaOkie. I was just in town last night and stopped by the Jungla for a cold one before dinner downtown. Here's a
pic of the Jungle for you..while you are riding out this storm. Buene suerte!

I don't understand why all the road problems, and National Guard on site--------we all knew this could happen-------why don't folks just hunker down
for a few days until it passes? That is what we used to do in Montana (Glacier Natl. Park) when this happened, and it was kinda fun once you got used
to it.

High today in Fort Worth---18 degrees, low 9 degrees---pretty chilly for a place that gets heat indices in the 110s in the summer, but of course
nothing like up north. Roads still iced over so schools still closed...we're hunkered in and trying to keep the house warm enough so the pipes don't
freeze.

Update on Australia----------I read the MPH wrong-------the proper speed of the clocked winds was 200 KPH (kilometers, not miles)
Sorry about that.
