Latitude, Altitude & Attitude
3 important components of weather
Today has been a dark, gray, gloomy day with intermittent fog and ongoing snow flurries. All the tree branches are frosted with ice.
A decade or so ago some friend told me that their favorite channeled entity was saying that we are about to enter an ice age; that every ice age is preceded by a brief period of global warming. So we should enjoy the warming now before everyone begins to head for the equator.
In the late 1800s some Sioux tribes went north to Canada to flee the fierce war with the unrelenting U. S. Army. When asked why he and his tribe chose not to do this, Crazy Horse said, “It’s too cold up there!” (I’m paraphrasing, of course.)
Do you feel trapped at a certain latitude? Afraid to go either north or south? Do you feel that there might be some other latitude that better matches your wants and desires? Are the latitudes somehow changing? Or are we?
What is your favorite latitude? (And how does it make you feel?)
There can be a great variety of different climates within a latitude and that all depends on altitude. Altitude is just as important as latitude. Certain altitudes can be seriously discombobulating to some yet intensely peaceful to others.
