Exactly. The weather is not a stationary time series. The moments of the probability distribution are not time invariant.

That was then; this is now.<br>
<br>
As scientist Jeff Masters put it most of a decade ago:<br>
<br>
The atmosphere I grew up with no longer exists. My new motto<br>
with regards to the weather is, "expect the unprecedented."<br>
<br>
In the years since he's said that we've seen a number of unprecedented<br>
events: Sandy, Harvey, California wildfires, last year's midwest derecho,<br>
and so on. This event in Texas is just another one; there will be more;<br>
they'll get worse.<br>
<br>
We should probably get ready for that.<br>
