The greatest 24-hour drop in surface pressure was 33 mb or 1 inch of pressure at 9 a.m. MDT on March 13. It even bombed out in the Denver area. NCAR in Boulder, Colorado measured a 27 mb pressure drop in 24 hours. It is rare for a cyclone to experience this type of rapid intensification in the middle of the country. It is a little more common closer to the Atlantic coast, but even then, it is a rare process.

The story veers away from this secret into other strands of care and guilt. The narrator worries over his son returning home from school. He recalls a project he recently gave to his students, to write letters to exchange with counterparts in New Zealand, letters he hasn’t sent because he has misplaced his fellow teacher’s address. He hopes the children will forget the undertaking before the end of term and burns the letters, making sure that no scrap remains to float in the air and be found by a child who might discover that his letter was never sent and a reply will never be received. The narrator may be afflicted with terrible compulsions and a tortured dream life, but the implied author is humane, not least for allowing the narrator to resist his attractions.

An old tin muffin pan can make an easy, reusable birdfeeder is just a few minutes. Start by drilling three or four holes around the edge of the pan and looping some of that aforementioned natural twine through them to make a hanger. Some people like to loop cereal oh’s up and down the strings, but this is extra time and work that will disappear soon enough. The more important element of creating the hanger to check that the muffin tin sits level or near to it. Then, hang it from a tree and dump in a little birdseed.

The snow will fall as a result of a trough moving across the area. The energy will move through the region Thursday night into early Friday morning and continue into the day. Temperatures will warm however, as we head into the afternoon, so many of us will see the snow switch over to rain by the late morning. 

You will need two sticks to use as perches. These need to be wider than the bottle by around 10 centimetres, so there is enough space for birds to perch on each side.

“The reports surrounding Steele technically weren’t about the allegations themselves, but rather the journey of those allegations, from one set of official hands to another. Handing the report to Trump created a perfect pretext,” Taibbi wrote.
