2025 goes down as the ~3rd-warmest year on record (based on ERA5).

Like in 2024, every single day this past year was warmer than the average of even the most recent reference period (1991-2020).

I wouldn't have wanted to be the producer responsible for filling out the heath and safety assessment forms on Werner Herzog's 1972 epic Aguirre, The Wrath of God, out today on 4K/UHD from the BFI. Klaus Kinski goes mad as Spanish explorers carry on the jungle. 5/5

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

When Stephen Miller is running immigration policy, Don Bongino is operating FBI surveillance, Pete Hegseth is deciding who to bomb, and Laura Loomer is firing top national security aides, you don’t have an administration. You have an asylum.

Incoming system tracking to our south/east will bring rain mixing to snow for Wednesday night into Thursday.
Uncertainty remains & temps hover near/above freezing throughout, however a slushy/snowy drive to work on Thursday for many.
