Snowmeggedon* 2024....

 

* It's New England. Usually it snows from December to March. Now every storm is

OMG Eleventy!!!1111!!!.

 

The storm started last night. It wasn't a blizzard. No high winds or trees down, at least around here.

It was long duration and is slowly winding down as I write this at 8pm EST.

There was some banding when it snowed at a good pace then other times just falling snow.

I was surprised when I measured the tally  16"+ depending on what falls for the next couple of hours.

The snowblower is put away with the shovel and the plow guy just finished his final cleanup.

 It 's gonna be in the 30s-40s during the week and 40s-50s on Wednesday with heavy rain.

Now it will be mud season, again.

 


 

Lawsuit alleges a Capitol Police Lieutenant made a false radio report in an effort to conceal the murder of Ashli Babbitt


 

Lawsuit

Within a minute after firing the fatal bullet that struck Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd broadcast a radio report claiming shots were being fired at him in the Speaker’s Lobby and he was “prepared to fire back,” a federal lawsuit alleges.

The previously undisclosed radio dispatch is also contained on an audio recording obtained exclusively by The Epoch Times of the “OPS2” dispatch channel used by Capitol Police on Jan. 6.

Information on the recording is contained in a federal lawsuit filed on Jan. 5 by Ms. Babbitt’s widower, Aaron Babbitt of San Diego. Mr. Babbitt, backed in his lawsuit by Judicial Watch, is seeking $30 million from the U. S. government for wrongful death.

According to the lawsuit, Mr. Byrd fired his Glock 22 .40-caliber pistol, striking Ms. Babbitt in the left shoulder, then announced that he was being fired upon and was ready to return fire.

Amazing Feats of Engineering.... North Of The Border...

 

 A snowy morning and Covfefe surfing leads to a rabbit hole from one picture.

 This one of the 18 wheeler:

 According to the comments on f-book this is early 1980's. The truck is from a company named

Transport Chaine Inc. Heavy equipment movers.  The tram is the funicular located at 

Shawinigan-2 Generating station in Quebec.

The history of the facility is quite amazing when you start searching for information. <<<<

All built in the late 1800's and expanded over the beginning of the 1900's

 


Here is the google maps image search. From what I gather, the red arrow , I added,  points to the landing turntable for the funicular.

 

 


 

 As I was scrolling around google earth I noticed this area North of the hydoelectric station


It was once a large paper and pulp mill. Now it's just demolished concrete covered in graffiti.
