6:37 AM View: Now at work, Road Rageousness


 I made up for yesterday by doing three standard early morning views.

Walking to work, I saw a street cleaning vehicle.  


Now down the road, there is an entrance to the school.  There is a crosswalk and a gap in the middle of the road barriers there.  Usually to stop vehicles from making u-turns, plastic pylons are placed in the gap during the drop off times.  This morning, they weren’t. So, a car made a u-turn.  It honked its horn, but it didn’t slow down a Tesla that was approaching from the other direction.  There was a near collision and the Tesla driver angrily blared its horn as it swerved to avoid the u-turning vehicle.  The Tesla then cut in front of the car that had made the u-turn, and the Tesla driver gave the other driver the what for.

I said this to Grok:  I living in Jiangsu.  The high temperature in the middle of the week was 33 Celsius.  Now on Friday, the high is 12.  Why would this be?

Grok said:  That kind of temperature drop is often caused by a strong cold front moving in. In China, particularly in Jiangsu, this usually happens when a cold air mass from Siberia pushes south, replacing the warm air. These cold fronts can bring strong winds, rain, and even a sudden drop in humidity.
