All Activity

It’s been secret stein since NY.

It was quite active here, just no major storms. Seemed like i was shoveling constantly at times.

we are badly overpopulated

If I could we not have been screwed in the January storm.

Wonder if that was global or if it was just local thing

Low of 26.6 this morning

ok...I think I will put my bagel and coffee off to the side for a while.

This is how the average snow weenie pictures every winter

Was looking at 1917-18 at CON. Man that was wild. Nov -4.8 4.4” Dec -12.6 22.2” Jan -9.0 17.3” Feb -7.4 14.8” Mar -1.7 15.3” Apr -1.0 10.2” 60ish straight hours below 0F in that late Dec cold shot

I was thinking that. It’s been awhile.

Kind of like what I mentioned to John that I do on a seasonal level.

There’s a huge salt shortage because of it. Very tough to get salt

That one really pissed me off! Especially after the Burrowhead crap in KC the week prior. Fortunately KU won a natty several weeks later. Weekend of the 22nd has F U Chattanooga vibes all over it. Could snow along I-81. Other solutions are rain everywhere - winter over. I'm a little salty because I haven't gotten the kids up on skis yet this year. Perhaps the MJO coming around by early March will give the Mountains another chance or two.

When was the last time it rained? I don’t even remember. It’s been snow on snow on snow on snow. Even next week may be snow . Record salt season on everything

Steve, He said "pre -industral" Your presenting 1991 -2020 Just sayn' ... y'all can clear up the differences in data sets.

My relatives from down south, you know, Long Island, get all excited when they see them here. I tell them that they are long legged rats that eat everything, leaving raisinetes everywhere.

It's shocking how well they maintain every road, parking lot, ect. It's not like around here where we get snowed in. One day I was there It snowed from 7am to about 1pm. We got about 30" in that time period. By 1:30 the sun was out and roads were fine. The Airbnb was plowed several times. I drove down the Tug to the town of Pulaski and hit the cannabis dispensary and Arby's for lunch. I could of drove a Camry. I didn't even need to put my truck in 4×4.

I'm just gonna respond once to save Brian's annoyance in going down the CC rabbit hole but ...yeah. I still can't get over 2023. I don't think anyone has, either. It's just been excepted, now faded - probably because no matter who is involved, everyone in modernity is zombifide into a state of no attention span. Ha. But, I think that it was just so overwhelmingly large and spectacular ... it transcends explanation in a lot of ways. Like deer in the headlight ? And thus still vaguely only theoretically explained ( though the goal posts narrowing - ). People just sort of have to go, okay it was what it was. But what that was ...was proof that humanity, despite all conceits and wizardry, doesn't have a f'n clue what exactly can happen in a future with a destabilized climate, ongoing. No one...man to machine and back, anticipated an entire planet, suddenly rising a whole degree C, air and sea. Everywhere, all at once,... unilateral response. To what? only vaguely described with a lot of plausibility ( probably a cocktail of forces working toward a synergistic outcome ..but whatever ) yet nothing discretely causative or definitive. That right there, that lack of explanation ..., should ( no pun intended ) make people sweat. It should worry anyone with a modicum of intelligence. You don't have to be a climate scientist, physicist, rocket scientist or Gandalf from lord of the rings to admit, if something that grandiose happens without warning, we don't know what we're really dealing with.

No it isn't

The deer are disgusting, people that don't see them up close might not understand that. They sleep under the large pines in the back because the snowpack is not as deep and they leave a mess. I'll leave it at that.

Low of 29. Looks like a big warm up next week.

Last January was brutally cold. Not so sure about that map.

Just out of morbid curiosity how are the anomalies measured over the arctic? Is it satellite generated or is the data filled in via nearest sensors?

The world is at +1.3 to +1.4°C compared to the pre-industrial baseline. Chances are that future warming will probably double this number by the end of the century. But the next 1.3°C will almost certainly be worse than what we’ve already had.

You could actually shrink the blue blob down to the size of the Beltway (2 pixels wide) and it would have the same policy effect.
