When Donald Trump was elected president to a second term, it was a given that it would return a chaotic form of management to the executive branch.
Some like that style, thinking that shaking up the government is an effective way to create needed changes and reduce spending.
Most times, however, these decisions, whether coming from the president or his underlings, seem haphazard, with no one in the administration thinking much about the consequences until after the panic hits.

There are few things that can create as much beauty and misery as an ice storm. Ice-encased tree branches offer a stunning landscape of crystal, but the weight of that same ice causes those branches to break on top of houses and across roads and power lines, damaging property, making travel dangerous and depriving households of electricity and heat.

As cold as the January weather has been, the December warm weather was more extreme.
The recent lows in the mid teens don’t even come close to breaking any records for those dates, which are around five degrees. Whereas the highs in December were in the top five ever for those dates when the highs reached 77 degrees.
On average for the year, Mississippi temperatures are an ideal 68 degrees, but we definitely have some variation. Just toward the end of winter, I forget the heavy summer bake and start longing for warmth.
