Soggy start to February: How this rain compares to years past
Read full article: Soggy start to February: How this rain compares to years pastJACKSONVILLE, Fla. – We’re only around a third of the way into February and we’ve already picked up about two-thirds the normal rainfall we typically see. That makes our monthly total 2.40″ of rain so far, which is only .79″ below our average rainfall total for the whole month, which is 3.19″. Comparatively, February of 2019 was much drier as we only saw 1.83″ of rain that month. If we go through February and March without much rain, our wildfire danger grows quite high. AdLooking ahead to the next round of wet weather, it appears we will continue to stave off spring fire danger with rain expected on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.

I’ll keep you posted with the progress and maybe a picture of our first true, “Casa Garden Ensalada.”
Hewlett Packard Enterprise to move headquarters to Texas
Read full article: Hewlett Packard Enterprise to move headquarters to TexasSPRING, Texas – Tech giant Hewlett Packard Enterprise said it is moving its global headquarters to the Houston area from California, where the company's roots go back to the founding of Silicon Valley decades ago. Hewlett Packard Enterprise was created in 2015 when the computer hardware pioneer Hewlett-Packard Inc. broke into two parts after years of struggling to keep up with industry trends, such as consumers’ shift away from personal computers. The split left one new company, HPE, concentrated on the business of selling data center hardware and business software, while another new company, HP Inc., kept the legacy PC and printer operations. HP Inc. is still headquartered in Palo Alto, California, and remains the bigger of the two companies in terms of revenue. “We are incredibly committed to Silicon Valley,” he said.

Phil’s prediction was mirrored by one of his fellow groundhogs in New York.
