Do you think they'll call it? Update: They called it on the 13th.

 Lake Champlain is frozen over:  Shot from this morning:

This happens a lot--the lake clearly freezes, but doesn't get officially called.  It supports the narrative that it's becoming a thing of the past.

They may have to cave and call it, it won't be higher than 25F for the next week:

I will keep monitoring this site, to see if a call is made.

An image from Feb 9th--If they don't call it closed this year, that accounts for at least some of the recent rarity of the lake freezing over:  They are defining it ever more strictly, or just pretending it hasn't frozen and counting on us trusting calls from years ago.

2/12/26 update:  Still not showing it closed but...

The Left Can't Meme

 I posit that they could meme, but reality won't play ball.

They want to pretend that conservatives are hypocrites for pointing out that it's stupid to bring a gun to a protest and this is the best example they can find.

The McCloskeys didn't go to a protest--they were in front of their home, in a gated community, in which a gang of protesters had broken-into and were threatening to break into their home as well.

The other difference is that Pretti didn't go to a protest, he went to a police operation with the goal of interfering with it.

It's not that they can't meme, it's just that the situation cannot be memed without lying about it.  This ought to cause cognitive dissonance.

An even better example:

Which has spawned a meme that is a universal answer to all of this ilk:

In Tents

 Over the holidays between Christmas and New Year's Day, conversation came around to medical dramas over the years. Some were comedies like Scrubs, some were intense, like E.R. I asked the group for their opinion on the most intense one. After a few were thrown out, I opined that M*A*S*H was the most in tents.
