Is it a change in me or our general social consciousness. I like looking at the weather report. I don’t remember paying attention to the weather when I was younger.
But now, It is visually interesting with the wave of temperatures and icons to forecast what is to come. And what is to come today? Snow is light blue on the radar picture - right now. Look out the window and confirm - white on the ground. And later it is forecast to be dark blue. More white on the ground.
Checking out the radar map has its own distractions. Look how close Canada is to Greenland. Only 26 km by water. Zoom in and there are no place names in the area.
There are “Google questions” about the two such as: Can you drive from Canada to Greenland - you have to get to Ellesmere Island by methods other than roads, and then the sea ice isn’t viable for driving. Can you take a ferry - There is no ferry between the two, but cruise ships are being sighted more frequently and that is a possible method of getting across. But then Google has some really stupid questions, too. If you ask it for some stupid questions it is up to the task. Can you just walk across the border between Canada and Greenland? Reality: While it’s a land border, it’s on a tiny, uninhabited, barren rock called Hans Island in the high Arctic. There are no towns, roads, or facilities. The island is remote and hostile to humans, making an informal crossing difficult and dangerous.
I consider that an excellent sort of answer in comparison to some of the questions/answers that are considered relevant. And doesn’t it have a “tone” to it. I think AI has been generating attitude in the answers these days.
Here’s the map - we are so close to each other and we have such a long boundary - the longest maritime boundary in the world at 2,139 nautical miles. Compare that to the Canada-U.S. boundary - 5.525 miles includes land and water.
Isn’t this a cute garden in the snow image. That’s a few months away still.
