It was in the low to mid-90s the past two days and will be the same today. Everyone around here is looking for ways to stay cool, checking on elderly neighbors, and keeping their pets indoors. But one thousand nine hundred fifty miles west of me, they got a foot of snow.
A low pressure system will bring heavy wet snow to portions of the Northern Rockies, increasing the risk of power outages and leading to difficult backcountry conditions tonight into Tuesday. Key messages are provided in the graphic below.

I blame global warming. It is the cause of everything – the proverbial Satan with Western worshipers who want nothing more than to be comfortable, which is an interesting coincidence. I got an email from our electricity provider in the days before the sweltering heat descended upon us. Their suggestion was to find ways to use less electricity. You don’t hear that when it’s cold and snowy – assuming you still have electricity. Freezing to death happens, but so does heat stroke and all that good stuff. This is why they also ask you to care for pets and check on the elderly. But wouldn’t it make more sense to be in a literal position of power? Where the infrastructure can’t wait to handle peak load times like 96-degree days in the Northeast?
It will be hot, but no worries—we have the capacity to spare. So stay cool, and remember to check on your elderly relatives and neighbors. And yes, we could make fists full of money, but your electric usage is your choice. We’re just happy to be able to provide when called upon.
That’s not the world you get to live in when the prevailing position of “leadership” is that you must learn to do with less.
That’s not America. And I’m not saying anyone should be wasteful or misuse the resources. I am suggesting that you don’t create anything, especially comfort, when your priority is convincing people to have less, do less, and be less.
Montana and Idaho’s snow will melt in a few days (at least at the lower altitudes), while the weather here in New Hampshire will get closer to normal. However, the agenda continues to be about decline and characterized by minimalism while the elites and ruling class spend away our future.
Minimalism should be a choice, not a command.
