Climate Change
Nature journal excerpt from February 9, 2020...
© Photographer: William Wise | iNat Observation: 39748092 - Chipping Sparrows at bird feeder; Athens-Clarke County, Georgia. February 9, 2020.
I don't know about things on a global level, but if you live in Georgia, you certainly know something about climate change. Drastic changes in temperature are quite the norm in the southeast! Only a few days ago we tied a February record at 75 degrees. Then the following day we had tornado watches and warnings. And now today... snow! The morning rain switched to flurries just before noon and left that beautiful blanket of white. We had several seasons within just a few days! As they say, "If you don't like the weather in Georgia, wait a minute."
Athens, Clarke County, Georgia
- Cloudy, with a high near 42. Snow flurries this morning.
- Sunrise Today:7:25 am; Sunset Today: 6:10 pm

Wow, that's some weather.
I really enjoy your journal excerpts. And we have the same rapid weather shifts in North Carolina!
@tbj Thanks for reading and commenting. Yes, I think all of us in the southeast share the same crazy weather patterns. One day a jacket, the next day sweating in shorts and t-shirt!
