Even though fascinating science unknowns remain, we understand plenty about extreme weather and Earth's other powerful forces. More than enough to prepare, respond, and take actions now to reduce risk and increase safety. It was a strong message from scientists I interviewed for Dangerous Earth. π§ͺπ

β οΈ Potential danger: βSnowcreteβ sliding off slanted roofs βοΈπ§
With temps rising above 32 today, be especially alert for snow and ice shedding from roofs of homes, schools, and businesses, it can pose a serious hazard.
Be alert for this and avoid prone areas.

just a reminder: if fire hydrants near where you live are buried in snow after this weekβs storms, itβs a mitzvah (and a gooooood workout!) to dig out around that hydrant so fire crews can get to it faster if need be.

Let the misinformation begin: Extreme winter storm contradicts global warming/climate change. NO. Severe winter weather events more likely in a warming world. Wavy jet stream, polar vortex and more moisture in the atmosphere = freezing temps, more ice and snow. π§ͺπ₯ΆβοΈ
