Back when I worked at architecture firms, I used to think, at every manufactured office crisis, "calm down - lives do not hang in the balance."
But now there's an eerie sense that any building or road or infrastructure project *could* claim lives, in an unanticipated but now inevitable, frequent disaster.

So, we were accidental #beekeepers first. My dad had brought us a hand-me-down hive, hat, gloves, and a smoker. We managed to catch a #swarm of #bees in 2020, but they didn't make in through the #PolarVortex in early 2021.

Alas, still not quite warm enough to comfortably sit on the porch. #PolarVortex
Oh, it’s snowing out again. This weak #polarVortex is just not what I asked for.
Peach trees confused after several years of very warm periods in winter and then freezes. Last year two peaches flowered 3 times, were frozen out three times. This sent them into a tizzy this year. One bloomed in Dec, froze, then bloomed prolifically again. The other has shut down outer branches completely, no leaves/blooms yet. Very productive/dependable in previous years. Interested in others' stories. #polarvortex #climatediary

Enormous 'polar vortex' on the sun is unprecedented, scientists say
By Brandon Specktor, Feb 10, 2023
A long, looping filament of plasma snapped over the sun's north pole, creating a 'polar vortex' that scientists can't explain.

A new and stronger warming event is developing in the Stratosphere, which will collapse the polar circulation. As a result, a so-called Sudden Stratospheric Warming event is now forecast to displace the Polar Vortex and potentially shake the weather patterns in the coming weeks.

That's the heading of a new article that offers an in-depth explanation of exactly how the Polar Vortex works and how it affects global weather.
This could be a whole lot more information about the subject than you ever wanted to know. Or, you might find it fascinating and useful.

Millions of people in the northeast this weekend experienced sub zero temps thanks to an aggressive longwave trough. But what exactly is the #PolarVortex that causes it?

a balmy -26C today, and the St. Lawrence river is all misty from the roaring rapids and freezing wind. This too shall pass. #polarvortex #montreal #winter

Always wanted to do that and don't think I'll get the chance.

Just what every weather geek in New England is doing this morning. -11.4°F air + 212°F water =MAGIC (I mean, phase change) #makingsnow #phasechange #PolarVortex #newengland #science #thecoldneverbotheredmeanyway

Braved -7F/-21C to go see the sea smoke this morning. Worth it. Otherworldly!
