Here in Halifax we have received no snow at all in the last 24 hours, and yesterday was a nice sunny day and surprisingly mild. But the weather folk issued warnings up the yazoo for all sorts of dire results and the emergency mgmt group in govt issued their usual alerts, like having 72 hours worth of food and water both at home and in your vehicle. Naturally the local news media amplified all of that noise and got everyone freaked out, and schools were cancelled for today sometime last night.
So nothing here happened until a couple of hours ago around noon, and when it did it was some drizzle and a very few ice pellets. Now the temps are above freezing and it is just a coldish damp day. The weather types are now calling for a big pile of snow on Friday. But they have so little credibility at this point I am wondering whether to even pay attention.
Same story here in Boston yesterday as well. Good thing schools are closed for the spring break; otherwise we would be inundated with school closing announcements. Today, we have blue skies but 5 inches are predicted for Thursday.

Just read an article this a.m. 7% of TX power comes from wind farms. Moreover, the ones they do have, the state cheaped out on and didn’t buy the more expensive ones with heated casings.
TX has no one to blame but TX. They produce more power than any other state, yet they can’t power themselves.
Question: so what powers the heat to the casings? Does anyone know?
We had an allroad of that era. It was a glorified oil delivery mechanism...wonderful at drinking copious amounts of oil and spewing it on the floor of the garage.

But they've always got the solar panels to rely on.
Though my 06 Passat 2.0t didn't leak oil it sure swilled it. I now understand that due to direct fuel injection the oil rings would get clogged with carbon as the car aged and a new ring design with larger openings is now being installed. Using a qt every 750 miles or so on VW spec synthetic gets old. VW claimed oil consumption was still in the normal range. I cut bait at 59K just before the 60K powertrain warranty expired. Wonderful car overall, but the experience made me really shy about buying another VW/Audi product. 13 years later I am dipping back in with the Q5 and Passat. Hoping they got it right this time!

In driving through VT it’s interesting to see the numerous solar farms covered in snow producing little if any useful energy for weeks. At least in TX those windmills will thaw out.
I could never understand why, since they are connected to the grid they couldn’t include some electric heaters to help the snow slide off.

I just watched this yesterday, because I heard the term and was curious as to what they actually are. Pretty interesting, and sounds like a good idea. Though not as smart as the Toyota (and I think a few other companies) solution of also having port on occasion.
You don't have to read the above link, just read these 6 quotes I took from the publication:
“ … the relationship between crash frequency and speed is less clear.”
“However, the relationship between speed and crash frequency is unknown.”
“while setting the posted speed limit 10 mph (16.1 km/h) lower than the recommended engineering value resulted in an increase in fatal plus injury crashes…”
“A consistent, quantifiable relationship between operating speed and crash frequency has not been reported in the literature. “
“However, the relationship between crash frequency and speed is not as clear.”
“…however, the relationship between operating speed and crash frequency has yet to be well established.”
Common weasel words that discredit agencies trying to prove or at least regurgitate and repeat falsehoods are:
What they really mean to say if they are honest with themselves is the data doesn't support them at all. There is no relationship between speed and crash frequency, or it would be direct and clear, such as the "direct" relationship between crash severity and the speed at which one crashes (but not the speed one drives because speed driven does not equal speed crashed at).
I've asked Engineers to defend and define an "indirect" relationship and I've yet to get an answer. Most of what I've been able to gather is you have to get into a long-winded laborious highly convoluted presumption and assumption chain of events to get from A to Z.
I read it. You conveniently “missed” whole part about relationship between speed and fatalities.
I mentioned crash severity and speed at moment of impact to be directly related/correlated/linked. The most severe type of crash is a fatality, so I don't think I missed it.
I think you have miss it. It does say that severity of accidents increase with crash speed, which is not necessarily equal to the driven speed before impact. Logic would state that the more severe the accident the more severe the injuries and the most severe injury is death.
You are saying the same thing I said with different words and structure order. No argument on crash severity and yes, the more severe the crash the more severe the injury, the worst being death. The only thing I'd add is the caveat in italic bold inserted above.
Still, you have to wonder how an agency can flip over, bend backwards, and twist and contort to try and make it seem like there's a relationship between speed and crash frequency that they basically say the opposite at LEAST six times.
I don't see where they say the opposite. See #3They and you conveniently ignore the evidence and data when it doesn't suit your agenda.
Another favorite line of mine (not in this study but I've seen it in others is) "more research is needed in this area." You mean there's not enough data from the human history of driving statistics already?
The worst studies are ones that use "estimates and expectations" to assert a claim. There's an IIHS Study that claims it was over a 20 year period, to give the impression it's a comprehensive study. Yet most all the figures they use are "expectations" and "estimates." Go figure.
Remember the report is not about speed and fatalities it's about designing roads that encourage driving at a safer speed.
I hope they learned the lesson shown that reducing speed limits kills people when below "engineering objective" standards

Had first China Virus vaccination today. The county health department uses a convention center. They have guides telling you where to go as you enter from the garage walkway. I checked in at a table verifying my registration online ticket. Then was directed into the exposition area.
They have chairs on the large area floor more than 6 feet apart in columns. Once seated in a chair, I never moved. Someone came to verify I was there with a notepad device. I got a white sticker that I had been documented. Two injectors come down each column from the front, row by row, with one working the notepad to ID you and arrange next appointment.

They had other workers roaming and I saw at least one EMS type available for problems after injection. Quite a setup. Compared to the awful cattle call type online registration they have for getting into the system...

As for what was going on, maybe just people going at a good place to photograph cars going around a tight curve. There is a spot that I like to go that sometimes there are people photographing traffic on a tight curve. It's a good place to capture bikes on a good lean.

Jefferson County is a law unto itself. Corrections refused to give our court Skype access to our prisoners that were held there. Finally our judge held them in contempt- so they granted us access, scheduled as late in the afternoon as possible.
One funny story; when I was judge I had issued a $50,000 cash bond for a defendant who had absconded. He was caught in Jefferson County and he was released on his own recognizance. On top of that, the defendant was told to "Call the court clerk to get a court date." I was fuming, because of course the guy skipped out again. The next morning in my court I had a guy picked up on a Jefferson County warrant- $200,000 full cash bond. I released him on his own recognizance and told him to call Jefferson County for a court date. Of course I got an angry phone call asking why I released him R-O-R, and I told the guy when Jefferson County started respecting my warrants I would start honoring their warrants. I have several other similar stories...

My wife and I had the first shot last week. It was a real circus getting an appointment.
I had to search the internet to find a place to get it. I spent hours and hours finding two spots and it ended up that each of us had to go to different counties to get it; neither one the county we live in.
We ended up with about 5 reservations and picked the soonest ones then canceled the others so they would be available to others.
I was complaining how the state was letting it's citizens fight each other for appointments and they should be coordinating it. Now I'm not so sure.
Now they are saying that 2nd doses of the Moderna has been given out as first doses and people who got their first dose may have to wait up to 42 days to get the second one. I wonder how they miraculously came up with that number?
People now wanting to get the vaccine, as well as providers, have to go through the states web site. This is going to be good.
And none of them have a shred of a clue about how to drive at a rapid clip.
I’m amazed at how many people carelessly drove on the wrong side of the road.
That one guy with a camera was yelling at the one driver to get back in his own lane and the guy was looking at him with a dumb expression on his face that looked like he didn't understand why he shouldn't be in the wrong lane. Yikes!
My sister lives in Indianapolis and she called last night to tell me she got both of her COVID shots. She’s 69. I don’t qualify in OH (yet). But, everyone I talk to who does qualify say they can’t get their COVID shots because there aren’t any available.
That begs the question, what’s the difference between OH and IN?

Most all of them were committing one of the cardinal sins of fast driving- early apexing. They see the corner coming up fast and turn in much too soon. The optimum cornering line is usually a late apex, which allows you to start accelerating out of the curve sooner.

@qbrozen, So many people try to drive up and down that road(Mulholland Drive), photographers are set up there, probably mostly on weekends I'm guessing.
It seems lots of car groups use that stretch of Mulholland Drive to show off their cars and/or driving skills - or lack thereof. I watched a Jay Leno one that looked like that same stretch of road. They probably meet there every weekend and try to outdo each others stupid driving.

Ohio slowed down the process for oldest/older folks with 1A and school staff vaccinations. Lots of healthcare and first responders and lots of school staff getting 2 shots each. All those teachers et al are still getting second shots reserved for them.
I held off from my first eligibility time and then all those extra folks were started. The appointments disappeared.
I was able to get into the Montgomery Cty. Health Department supply by figuring out how to do the signup online quickly because their signup system isn't the best.
For my wife who was eligible last week Meijer uses a signup if you have or make an account on their pharmacy site. They will notify you when they will be having vaccine for you: you respond yes, no, or I'll wait.
Walgreens and others just sign up, but it's hit or miss.
Kroger is the biggest disappointment because they had a system but I suspect they were vaccinating workers, friends, and family (my assumption) and there didn't seem to be any openings. They just revamped their system on Monday to be compatible with the Ohio statewide system. None with 20 miles of your Butler Cty location. But for Indianapolis lots of stores have openings to schedule. Same for Franklin IN. Krogers in Dublin and OSU area Columbus have Krogers with openings.

But, now that I remember, the west end of Mulholland Drive ends up in Ventura County, which is the 805 area code.

As for what was going on, maybe just people going at a good place to photograph cars going around a tight curve. There is a spot that I like to go that sometimes there are people photographing traffic on a tight curve. It's a good place to capture bikes on a good lean.

And no, that's not photoshopped.

One funny story; when I was judge I had issued a $50,000 cash bond for a defendant who had absconded. He was caught in Jefferson County and he was released on his own recognizance. On top of that, the defendant was told to "Call the court clerk to get a court date." I was fuming, because of course the guy skipped out again.
The next morning in my court I had a guy picked up on a Jefferson County warrant- $200,000 full cash bond. I released him on his own recognizance and told him to call Jefferson County for a court date.
Of course I got an angry phone call asking why I released him R-O-R, and I told the guy when Jefferson County started respecting my warrants I would start honoring their warrants.
I have several other similar stories...

I had to search the internet to find a place to get it. I spent hours and hours finding two spots and it ended up that each of us had to go to different counties to get it; neither one the county we live in.
We ended up with about 5 reservations and picked the soonest ones then canceled the others so they would be available to others.
I was complaining how the state was letting it's citizens fight each other for appointments and they should be coordinating it. Now I'm not so sure.
Now they are saying that 2nd doses of the Moderna has been given out as first doses and people who got their first dose may have to wait up to 42 days to get the second one. I wonder how they miraculously came up with that number?
People now wanting to get the vaccine, as well as providers, have to go through the states web site. This is going to be good.
Be careful what you wish for??

Most all of them were committing one of the cardinal sins of fast driving- early apexing. They see the corner coming up fast and turn in much too soon. The optimum cornering line is usually a late apex, which allows you to start accelerating out of the curve sooner.

They probably meet there every weekend and try to outdo each others stupid driving.

healthcare and first responders and lots of school staff getting 2 shots each. All those teachers et al are still getting second shots reserved for them.
I held off from my first eligibility time and then all those extra folks were started. The appointments disappeared.
I was able to get into the Montgomery Cty. Health Department supply by figuring out how to do the signup online quickly because their signup system isn't the best.
For my wife who was eligible last week Meijer uses a signup if you have or make an account on their pharmacy site. They will notify you when they will be having vaccine for you: you respond yes, no, or I'll wait.
Walgreens and others just sign up, but it's hit or miss.
Kroger is the biggest disappointment because they had a system but I suspect they were vaccinating workers, friends, and family (my assumption) and there didn't seem to be any openings. They just revamped their system on Monday to be compatible with the Ohio statewide system. None with 20 miles of your Butler Cty location.
But for Indianapolis lots of stores have openings to schedule. Same for Franklin IN. Krogers in Dublin and OSU area Columbus have Krogers with openings.

I've concluded there are lots of crazy people in this world.
I read the State of TN reduced the speed limit to 30 on the TN portion.
