We had snow over night. I don't think it will stick around long because the high today should be in the low 40s. Happy to have the snow considering what is going on in California.
A morning news/commentary show had an interesting piece on the drones Russia is using in Ukraine. They cost $30-40K each which is a fraction of the missiles Ukraine is using to shoot them down. I remember a report a couple of weeks or so ago which claimed that Russia and Iran had reached an agreement to allow Russia to manufacture the Iranian drones in Russia. A while back I read a novel in which one character told the representative of a different country that his country didn't have to win battles against an enemy to win a war--they simply had to bankrupt the enemy. Sounds that is a strategy Russia is going for in Ukraine. I think Ukraine's backers need to find lower cost technologies to counter the drones.
Gizmodo has a nice summary of the time change dilemma. It is entertaining to think about how man seems to think he can improve on nature. From the reports I have seen energy isn't saved and people suffer adjustment problems and sometimes cardiovascular problems.
