Here We Go Again

I could be talking here about the pandemic, the new voting-restriction law in Georgia, or President Biden's infrastructure initiative, but no, here I am talking about the weather again.

As you all, know the American Southeast has been hit by numerous tornadoes, and while tornadoes in that part of the country are not uncommon at this time of year, the intensity of the storms is.  There have been so many serious storms there of late that they're making national news and turning network news anchors into on-camera meteorologists.

And then there's my neck of the woods.

Severe thunderstorms aren't supposed to materialize in the American Northeast this early in the year, but now there's a marginal chance of severe weather in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut today, with greater chances in Delaware and Maryland.  And there's a particular line of storms that, according to one computer projection, could deliver severe weather right over northern New Jersey - literally hitting my where I live!

It's too soon.  But thanks to climate change, late-March thunderstorms will be a thing.

Oh yeah, there could be a tornado or two in southern New Jersey.

And remember, my area could get a hurricane in August.

I'm not looing forward to the rest of the year, and not just because of the pandemic.
