Jackson Jambalaya

It is almost as if this climate stuff follows some sort of cycle. And there may be several clocks or calendars that have been created that actually predict these events based on numerous celestial factors. But you don’t have to take my word for it. I just read it in a book.

Sooo, this means the weather won’t be bad? Rethink your headline genius. You sound like the clarion ledger...

That said, I love the history of the piece. This should be a hallmark of your site.

Let's not be impertinent. The weather events we are seeing these days are unprecedented in scope and severity.

The global warming/climate change is quiet this week. This weather doesn't fit their crooked agenda. Maybe this is an uptick (down tick?).

The weather will be severe tomorrow, with 1/4-1/2" of ice and 3-6" of sleet/snow on the roads, but the crazy drivers will still run red lights, speed, and tail-gate.

It's global warming. It was around a hundred years ago and it still haunts us. Yep, it's global warming alright.

"It is almost as if this climate stuff follows some sort of cycle." and "Let's not be impertinent. The weather events we are seeing these days are unprecedented in scope and severity." Jesus Christ, this planet is 4.5 Billion years old, of course it has had numerous climate shifts over time, and will continue to do for billion of years to come. Remember those ice ages in geologic and human history (before we came along). I love the arrogance of us humans that we can control weather when all we can do is anguish over it.

Tater, open the package stores at daylight tomorrow! Chinese flu cant stand the cold and ice.

8:42 for the win! Amen, brother.

Winter is coming.

KF, I one for sure that loves the old history of Jackson. I’ve gotten on searches looking for old photos of the better days of Jackson on the internet with little to no avail, so to see things like this is pretty good in my book. Just thinking about a 10” snow happening today would bring some issues. It makes you wonder how people took care of themselves, but then again, that was a different generation and they weren’t used to the conveniences we have today. I’m sure there were homeless people and of course the less fortunate, but it seems like our modern world has created more than needed. Now that’s kind of strange. Things really got too easy for us. Keep up the good work.

Normally I like bad weather. We hunker down at home around the fireplace. I cook chili, lasagna or some big hearty food like that and drink a good Bordeaux. Hubby ensures we have plenty of gasoline for the generator in case we lose power.

However, both of us are scheduled to get our first Covid vaccinations on Tuesday so I am bummed out that we might not be able to do so. Lord knows how long it would take us to reschedule the shots.

KF - we enjoy the old newspaper articles. I have an old history book published in 1978 about Jackson titled "Jackson/A Special Kind of Place" by Carroll Brinson with many historical photos of the area, buildings, street scenes and people that brings back memories of what a nice place Jackson used to be.

A "winter storm" in the....wait for it.....Winter. Who knew?

11:38 PM - I see what you did there. Not by Fire, But by Ice is an excellent book on climate change cycles. Utterly debunks the hysteria.

It wasn't 10 inches but everyone is forgetting the surprise of 1997?

"During this event a record snowfall of up to 8 in. (20.3 cm; see Fig. 1) blanketed central Mississippi during the overnight and daylight hours. The event was noteworthy in that it was not forecast to occur ..."

WAPT: Surprise snow hits central Mississippi 23 years ago today on December 14, 1997

JSU: Final Report: The surprise record meso-snowfall event of 1997 in central Mississippi - How surprising and how common?

The NWS staffers in Jackson of 1997 had to jump through hoops after the event to explain away via analysis to their superiors how they got caught with their pants down.

I remember that era of newspapers when they put a dozen or more stories on the front page and then you had to go search the insides to finish the article. Ah the good old days of newspapers.

After seeing the comment above I sought out info on "Jackson/A Special Kind of Place" by Carroll Brinson, and was reminded that 2022 will be the bicentennial of our capital city.

Does anyone have any information about how our current mayor and city council are planning to celebrate this notable occasion?

1:34 How do you know the scope and severity we're seeing is unprecedented? We've only been able to measure weather with any semblance of accuracy for a few hundred years. The planet has been here for 4.5 billion give or take a few. We have no idea, with any accuracy, what the temps or weather patterns were as little as five hundred years ago in most of the world since the first thermometer wasn't in existence yet. We can't know what "normal" is without those facts, and geographical and archeological evidence is imprecise at best. Saying it's unprecedented is like taking one frame out of a movie and trying to guess the plot.

I remember when the REZ froze around 1988 or 1989.

No one had heard of Al Gore back then.

"Jackson/A Special Kind of Place" by Carroll Brinson"

That is the best general history of Jackson from the town's founding until 1976.

I'm lucky to own a copy.

We are getting just a small taste of the kind of weather that future MNG troops will experience when POTUS Harris deploys Guard and Reserve units to carry out the Deep Security State plan to "contain" China and Russia.
