The cold weather we’ve been experiencing for the last 36 hours is here to stay, as we are going to remain quite cold through Friday night. On Thursday and Thursday night we’re going to add a fair amount of rain to the mix.

Covid vaccines causing “turbo-cancers” has been debunked. 1st even the term is made up: 2nd mRNA is not modifying our DNA since it needs to get through both cell/nuclear membranes requires electroporation; 3rd we have innate immune proteins that keep foreign DNA from integrating

Two years ago, we demonstrated that the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic likely began at the Huanan Market via zoonosis resulting from the wildlife trade.

The heat index of 112 last hour at Hobby should be the earliest we’ve ever been this hot. At least since 2000, it has not happened before July other than last year.

A few notes.
Today will likely be the fourth May day this year to make the 20 hottest May days on record in Houston (since the late 1800s). All have occurred since 1995.
The 82 degree low at IAH this AM, if it holds, will set a new May record for warmest min temp.

Temperatures have trended a bit cooler than expected today, with the freezing line extending all the way down to near the coast. This has caused problems on area roadways. Elevated highways and bridges, especially, should be treated with caution.

It’s not the lockdowns. It’s the covid. And honestly any expert that’s talking about the surges in infections we’re seeing without saying anything about covid immune damage in December 2023, with all this published data, is either woefully uninformed or outright dishonest.

Lots of skywatching opportunities this month, including the Geminid meteors at their peak on Dec. 13, chances to spot Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter near the Moon, and a Boxing Day present—a full moon! See when to mark your calendar: science.nasa.gov/skywatching…
