*FALLING IGUANAS* are possible for parts of Florida Saturday & Sunday morning as colder air moves in. When temps drop to 45° and lower, iguanas can fall out of trees! They're not dead, just immobilized. Most South Florida Metro iguanas look safe this round, but others across the state might not be as lucky! 🦎🥶
** FIRST PENNSYLVANIA SNOW OF THE SEASON COMING SOON **
While we are certainly not getting two feet of snow (despite some ridiculous posts I've seen over the past few days), we are also not going to escape the storm system and the colder air to follow. And yes, this includes the first flakes of the upcoming season for many!
So, with the information and guidance I have now, what is going to happen? We will see a low-pressure system move into the region on Thursday, bringing widespread rain showers. As this system moves up the coast, we will have colder air filter in on its backside. This air looks to be cold enough to change areas to snow or a rain/snow mix, but there will be a lot of dry air. So overall, the winter impacts from this system will be limited, but some may notice it.
AREA A - High confidence to see at least flakes fly Friday and Saturday; this includes the higher elevations of northern PA and the Laurel Highlands. Some of this may be lake-enhanced. Minor snow accumulations may not be out of the question on colder/elevated surfaces.
AREA B - Expect mostly rain, but as cold air filters in on the backside, the first flakes of the season may filter in these areas. Western PA will see some lake-enhanced snow/rain showers. Accumulations do not look to occur due to the warm surface temperatures.
Stay tuned for updates & remember, don't follow the hype you see online, especially pages posting 12"+ snowfall amounts from every snowy GFS run. 🙄

Amazing!
For the first time in Israel, a lung transplant was performed using a robot, without opening the chest and ribs. During the surgery, surgeons connected the new lung to the blood vessels and airways using the robot, through small incisions made in the chest. This innovative surgery was performed at the Beilinson Hospital. Photo: Beilinson Public Relations.
Feliz día de la Reforma 📜🔨
El 31 de octubre de 1517 cambió para siempre el destino de Occidente. Aquel día, un monje agustino llamado Martín Lutero se acercó a la puerta de la Iglesia del Palacio de Wittenberg, en Alemania, y clavó sus 95 tesis.
Lutero no buscaba fundar una nueva iglesia, sino reformar la que ya estaba, llamándola al arrepentimiento y a volver a las Escrituras. El detonante fue la venta de indulgencias: comisarios como el fraile Johann Tetzel recorrían los pueblos vendiendo "certificados de perdón" utilizados cínicamente para pagar la deuda que el Papa tenía con los banqueros Fugger y financiar la construcción de la Basílica de San Pedro en Roma, enriqueciendo a la curia a costa del bolsillo y la fe de los campesinos más humildes, a quienes engañaban asegurando que, al son de cada moneda que caía en la caja, el alma de un ser querido salía del purgatorio rumbo al cielo. Para Lutero, esto era una afrenta moral y espiritual imperdonable.
Más allá de las indulgencias, aquel 31 de octubre fue el terremoto de un sistema de control: el desmantelamiento del monopolio espiritual de la salvación.
Al clavar las tesis, Lutero fracturó ese muro de autoridad y devolvió la fe al terreno de la conciencia y la gracia, acabando con el negocio de la fe, abriendo el acceso directo a Dios por medio de la fe (Sola Fide) y liberando a las conciencias atadas al miedo frente a cualquier poder terrenal y espiritual.
Agradecemos a Dios por los benditos reformadores, empleados como instrumentos para revelar el evangelio de vida; suplicamos al Señor que nos conceda su Espíritu, para que confesemos con claridad a Cristo y el perdón de pecados en nuestras vidas.
