never seen this in my lifetime, a named atlantic hurricane in January.
totally fits with my theory, this is actually a spring storm, and since spring comes right after winter, but winter was only 2 weeks long, Alex is first spring ‘cane in my book.

spring is here. marigolds and daffodils are already at it.
so who is good at plant identification?
is this milk thistle?
and what’s this one?
my satellite reception is plagued by noisy power lines nearby. but every so often, the pass times when the grow-lights up the road are not on, and the cloud tops are cold enough, that the color enhancement mode works. expect tornadoes when this upper level cold trough makes it over the ridges.
notice how the signal was clear enough only for 20-45 latitude. also of note, the system cloud line extends from well south into Baja, all the way north to Alaska.
