A Middle Of The Night AccuWeather Wolf Cry Over Possible Fog

Last night I was peacefully horizontal when around 3 in the morning my phone made its incoming message noise.

I opted to ignore the incoming message noise the first time it woke me up, figuring I'd quickly fall back into being peacefully horizontal.

About three minutes later the phone again made its incoming message noise.

I thought to myself this must be something serious with someone desperately trying to get a message to me.

So, I got myself vertical and went searching for the phone. The hunt did not take long.

I woke up the phone and quickly saw the urgent messages were both from AccuWeather, a photo image of which you see here.

Why would this AccuWeather thing think it a good idea to send out two messages in the middle of the night alerting hapless sleepers that a Dense Fog Advisory was in effect?

What is one to do with this advice in the middle of the night?

And now hours after the sun arrived with its incoming illumination possibly impacted by dense fog, I have seen nothing remotely foggy.

I must figure out how to disable fog alerts on the phone before the next instance of AccuWeather crying wolf....

Slowly Making My Way Through A Dense North Texas Fog To A Steaming Hot Tub

Last night in the middle of the night, as in at 3 in the morning, my phone went off with its incoming text message type noise.

After the phone woke me up I woke it up to find the message which woke me up was from AccuWeather, alerting me to the fact that a heavy fog would be blanketing North Texas by morning.

Why did I need to know this in the middle of the night? I must find out how to shut AccuWeather up. It's more annoying than Pete Delkus in Weather Drama Queen Mode.

By the time the sun arrived this morning following by me opening that which blocks the incoming sun from coming in my windows, it was obvious, without any sort of AccuWeather alert, that a heavy fog had descended upon the land.

I don't recollect seeing a pea soup thick fog of this level at my current location previously. This is like a thick fog rolling in from Puget Sound and the Pacific Ocean. There is no ocean within hundreds of miles of my current location.

The foggy view in the above photo is from the vantage point of this morning's foggy hot tub soak. Normally in this view, without fog, you could see the redrock colored walls of Albertsons. This morning all you see is a wall of fog.

I do not know if it is safe to drive anywhere, what with this almost zero visibility thing happening. I suspect by the time I'm feeling like rolling any sort of wheels the fog will have lifted sufficiently to make it safe to do so.

Suffering From Extreme Texas Tree Pollen Pollution Waiting For Relief On Sunday


According to the AccuWeather graphic above the stifling pollen pollution is going in to Extreme mode tomorrow and Friday, before reverting back to Very High on Saturday, followed by relief on Sunday when the pollen pollution is scheduled to be Moderate.

I am  currently being drugged  every four hours with a little white pill containing something called Chlorpheniramine Maleate. This particular anti-histamine seems to have somewhat abated my respiratory woes.

I did not have myself a mighty fine time last night when it was time to get horizontal. I tossed and turned til way past 3 in the morning. Eventually I successfully passed out for an hour or two.

The outer world was freezing when the time arrived for my regularly scheduled hot tub hydrotherapy session this morning. I skipped the hydrotherapy again.

What I am currently wondering is how come when I lived in Western Washington, a location where there is a lot more foliage of a much wider variety, than my location in Texas, I had no allergy woes?

It's very perplexing.
