Last month I-41 had a chain-reaction crash, involving something like 130 vehicles. 1 dead. Reportedly caused by ice on the road. Near Neenah, WI. The worst crash in State history.
This week I-43 had a chain-reaction crash, involving something like 30 vehicles. Watching the video, I don't know how the number was that low. This was at the northern end of I-43, in Green Bay, after cresting the peak of the Leo Frigo Bridge (spanning the Fox River Delta to the Bay).
I haven't heard of 2 chain-reaction crashes in the same season in WI before, not sure about other States.

Australia suffers through searing temperatures as heatwave reaches its peak
An extreme heatwave already breaking records across Australia is expected to peak in many parts of the country Friday, with temperatures forecast to stay above 40 degrees Celsius (104 F) for the sixth day in a row.
The six days from January 12 to 17 are all within Australia's ten hottest days on record, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology said.
And it's not just the highs that are making people sweat. Noona in western New South Wales broke an all time "minimum temperature" record Thursday night, with the heat levels remaining above 35.9 C (96 F) throughout the night, according to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.

The predicted rinfall here was about 1/2", but my informal rain gage says over and inch ... maybe 1.3". I'll measure it tomorrow.
The Yolo Bypass up by Sacto us once again flooded. Yipee!!!

Snow is melting again. Hopefully this will be the last round of it.

Laundry day as enough snow has melted that I can get out and do it.

I think the last gasp of winter rain is coming thru this Sunday. I'll be sad to see winter leave; I like cooler weather. July, August, September: not my most favorite months here. But happy for you BRENDA that the snow is finally melting. We did the "spring forward" thing with the clocks, meaning longer days are here.

What's with chicken nowadays?? I buy organic whole chicken (the only organic meat we can afford) but yesterday I bought regular chicken breasts to attempt to make ancho-coated shredded chicken, and the breasts turned out hard and rubbery. I know that chicken breasts require special cooking otherwise they turn out dry and tasteless, but I've never had anything turn out like this before. I know there is a thing called "woody breast" which affects SOME chicken, but I'm thinking it affects a lot more than the 10% that this article claims, as more than half the pieces were inedible. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/woody-breast-could-bite-the-chicken-busin
ess/ BTW, I have never found "woody breast" in organic chicken, which says something about feeding GMO crops to animals! Also, as an aside, my Japanese friend told me that in Japan, thigh meat is considered to be superior to breast meat, since breast meat is usually drier and less tasty. I happen to agree!

And finally, our drip-maker gave up the ghost so I decided to try a hot plate/percolator method and I think that the flavor (what I can taste of it) is far superior to drip. "Cowboy coffee" also tastes better than drip.

Thanks for mentioning the clock change. I had no idea, and would have been an hour late for work tomorrow.
Although that shouldn't change the number of minutes per day of Sunshine.
