Yeah, it sounds like you and I came the exact same path in life. Truth be told I stumbled on my cure by accident I was doing an experimental diet for weightlifting, which was high in carbohydrates, but I was eating the wrong kind of carbs and wasn’t really aware of it or actually… I might’ve been aware of it, but I didn’t take it seriously because I’ve never had a problem with it, but I came back with a 6.0 on the A1c and they said I was getting prediabetic that despite the fact that I work out pretty much every day of the week too So I freaked out and panicked and did a lot of research learned all about the different kinds of sugar, how they occur nature, how they occur in industry, what the difference is and how we get them in on purpose or by accident …everything and developed a diet that was completely devoid of any of them Migraines gone. I don’t know I’ll give it a try. It might be worth it. I can see how general guides did that too cause who the hell knows how they’re sweetening that. I don’t dare get anything sweet from a Chinese restaurant since I made this connection. I sometimes get chicken wings though, but they don’t sweeten by the way, it’s funny you called that kaleidoscope because me and my buddy Geoff, who also has the exact same migraines this whole life we call it “K day” in texts

I saw that but I think it’s unlikely. G3 would require dark sky and a good camera even if it had the right parameters. Currently the particle density is rather pitiful and the bz is positive which is bad as well.

Yeah I know there’s a few of us on here ( Dendy is one) that have discussed this over the years. I too get that heart wrenching , panic attack aura that lasts for 25-30 minutes. Lose your vision., see kaleidoscope shapes .. all the while knowing the hell that is about to follow. I’ve had it happen while driving on sales calls and had to pull over . In my younger days it would result in nausea .”, vomiting , pounding headaches. As I have aged the headaches are more manageable and no nausea. In fact, I went 3 years without getting any in my early 50’s.. and then this past holiday season had about 5 in less than a month including one on Christmas Day. I thought I had outgrown them as generally you do into your 50’s. For me trigger’s were General Tso’s chicken , driving with sunlight thru the trees creating strobing , and the biggest culprit of all .. barometric pressure rises and falls . I gave been to neurologists for tests and so have some triptofan medication which I do take . I have gotten multiple ones in the same day hours apart .

Smoking anything isn’t my style, but big fan of a mild 5mg edible in the evening, especially for sleep. I sleep amazingly on a low dose indica rosin edible. Don’t like to do it too often though so sleep doesn’t get too dependent on it, but before a day off or heading into the weekend, best sleep of the week. High of 83F off a low of 43F, another 40-degree swing. Currently 63/52. Great June day.

I’m wondering if hands felt like 2 balloons that day ?

Hey Kevin, I pretty much cured my migraines by eliminating all processed sugar and/or simple carbs as much as possible Take some getting used to it and it might seem boring to eat that way, but after a while you get used to it it’s totally OK I was stricken with two maybe three migraines a month for the past 45 to 50 years of my life. Although as I got into my 40s, the actual pain part of the headaches got more tolerable. But I would still get the aura with a distorted vision shit that lasts for 20 minutes to a half hour, followed by headache anyway, I tried a lot of different things about diet with some limited success, but they always just came back. The only thing that’s really worked and I’ve had one migraine in the past two years … only one (and I think I know why ) is no added or processed sugar of any kind and no simple carbs like white bread or white pasta. Sometimes you’re gonna get some of that stuff by accident because we’re Americans and we live under a western cultural diet umbrella but it’s likely related to thresholds of tolerance. If you keep your exposure to that stuff is minimal as possible for me anyway that turned out to be my silver bullet. Upshot is that all those other inflammatory factors if you have any of them get better I haven’t had a cold in two years either by the way, and it’s proven scientifically that it’s better for your immune system if you get sugars from things like fruit, which by the way, you can eat a very sweet mango and a very sweet cantaloupe and the sugar that’s in there doesn’t actually raise your glycemic index I can eat fruit to the cows from home. I don’t get any migraines at all. Beer is OK … Although it’s bad for other reasons, I won’t get into that Gotta have some fun in life though Oh, and by the way, I do on Saturday and Sunday use a little bit of organic Trinidad cane sugar in my coffee, but that’s it. I can tell you right now if I got ahold of high fructose corn syrup? doomed

The scenario you describe (dry during the cold periods) was the big problem in 1982-83 here. I haven't looked up Colombus but in Detroit, still plenty of snow chances. Ironically in 1997-98 Feb was the really bad month here (the rest of winter was ok, including a snowy mid nov to mid dec) but Cincinnati got buried in Feb. All varies. 2015-16 finished just a bit below avg snow wise at Detroit but above avg snow a bit further north near @roardog.

looks like we turn to a WAR-ish pattern at the end of next week. somewhat torchy with daily storm chances and the all-too-familiar humidity.

No .. I generally am anti medicine. Obviously no vaccines with all the cancers , heart issues etc.. but unless I am really sick with high fever / headache I suffer it out. I do take magnesium everyday to help prevent/manage migraines which I’ve suffered with since 16

Wow, great report. Were you there at home when it passed? Could you see the funnel? Aprox time?

Pot is not illicit. Bet you will down the ibuprofen and Tylenol along with other meds but you closed your mind to the healing benefits of edibles. Your loss.

I was a spotter in Ashaway RI shortly after the western eyeball passed a tornado tore through Collins Rd through my backyard. We tracked it all the way to Bradford RI. There was mention of a possible tornado in SW RI in the official post Bob analysis. Tracked was about a quarter mile wide for 4 miles. Scar is still there lots of twisted trees. NWS never checked it out.

You’ll never , ever catch me doing that shit . Never puffed a cig or any smoke.. no illicit drugs ever. Beer and lots it

If Kev ate edibles instead of beer there would be some quality posting rather than drunk posting.

Weed?

I just assume all high clouds are smoke at this point.

It’s not Ark-worthy, but there are some hints of a multiday shower/storm type pattern starting in 7-9 days.

87 today. What a stretch.

Supposedly the aurora is going to be out tonight, central NE and north. We shall see. Will probably have to use my camera to see it. I have seen two in my life. One was last year in Nov. The other was 30 years ago in the the Wolfeboro area. We did hit 90 today. Edit: temp note

Nice donut over N IL. I think we’ll see some rain fasho but it won’t be much more that .25-.50”. Surrounding areas will do better. Hope I’m wrong tho

I have found something interesting, since the 2012, N. Hemisphere Arctic ice melt low, the Summer sea-level pressure state has been reversing the following Winter. In the 2025-2026 ENSO thread, I used this to predict a -AO for Winter 25-26. Here was May-Sept 2025 SLP anomaly: Analogs [10] Following Winter of 10 analogs (+7 months) Winter 25-26: Something to watch this coming warm season... do we get -SLP or +SLP anomaly over the Arctic (60-90N). Since 2012, -SLP has been followed by following cold season -AO, and +SLP has been followed by following cold season +AO. We are currently going more -SLP over the Arctic: Sorry for the multi-posting, each post is an individuated point that can be responded to by itself.
