Hurricane Harbor: Snow Totals to 3 FT in RI. Hurricane Like Blizzard! Fires in the Everglades Today... Mother Nature Way Too Busy This Week! El Nino In the Wings...

The Blizzard that looked like a Hurricane.

But definitely a blizzard as you can see below!

With so many beautiful AI photos online it's hard to be sure what's real, what's true before sharing. When it comes to images from @ContentWxGuy on X I never have to worry it's AI or just fake, but beautiful pics. What a set of pics. I have heard that because it was a blizzard the part of the building or tree facing the winds that make it a blizzard vs "snow storm" plastered the side facing the wind with snow and ice. I think this larger picture really shows it off perfectly. Emergency workers and Hatzalah a medical group on the scene took the child to the hospital now listed in stable condition. As a Miami girl I can't imagine growing up with that sort of snow and the kids who never listened. I mean in a Hurricane they were hunkered down, locked in and after they were not allowed out of the house or far into the yard as debris was everywhere.

Rhode Island won the Snow Total Lottery. 3 Feet or more in places, snow drifts as high a tall guy lost in the snow. The models verified! Parts of NY, Long Island especially, New England are all cloaked in layers of white snow. Airports are closed. Lakewood NJ and other cities along the coast got blasted by snow vs sand as they would in a hurricane. This image below is from a group of volunteer emergency workers saving a child's life as apparently they built an Igloo and it collapsed.

Mother Nature seems at War this week.

There's Fires in the Everglades :(

To be fair before Miami was built up into a large, busy, singing city for the future there were always fires in the Everglades. It was a process that happened in dry years when lightning or a strong wind blew sparks of a fire for cooking by the indigenous people who lived there and it was said to burn off the over growth from the wet years and keeping the Glades in balance. That happened in Los Angeles area as well as fires from the Chumash tribe in the mountains would spark fires that burned off new growth and created a haze across the LA Basin that was noted by the Franciscan Friars moving North along the coast along El Camino Real (Now Highway 101 aka Pacific Coast Highway) exploring the area and leaving records for us all to read today.

Fire has been around a long time. And, when the winds blow strong during the dry season when Arctic Fronts move down into South Florida.........fires happen. But now close to 3 Million people live in that small, crowded, tropical areas. The area that is known as MIA/FLL is closer to 6 million. And anyone with breathing problems needs to stay indoors, carry their inhaler if they have asthma and eyes will tear from the smoke where ever the wind blows it.... It's all about the Wind not just the Fire. But everyone will post beautiful sunsets, especially the tourists.
