All Activity

My weekends have been busy, so I’m just starting cleanup this weekend. Don’t even know where to begin. There’s so many leaves.

There are plenty of meteorologists who are really amazed at this upcoming pattern for next month. Maybe they are just trying to impress people but we are only in November. Lets see how the models respond towards December .

I’m tackling mine, but I’ll have stragglers after this weekend.

I can imagine. Especially for your wife, that’s traumatizing. I hope she’s getting any help she needs.

Wishing you and your family the best Brett.

I was hoping to do a final cleanup this weekend.

Honestly a transition the first of December would be best climatologically speaking.

So so sorry to hear this Brett..very sad. But you both have reason to be happy and optimistic with what’s ahead for sure…as it seems you are. Congratulations to the both of you. Wolfie.

I’m sorry to hear that. Our son had thanatophoric dysplasia. The doctor we ended up seeing at south shore had only seen it one other time in his career. Completely traumatizing given how far along she was

True. Fixed:

Agreed. I'll take it in late December/all of January.

Doesn’t need to flip until December, at the earliest. No sense wasting all the good teleconnections in November, when most of us can’t get snow anyway, despite the upper air patterns. .

28.0. First hard freeze. She’s dead, Jim

Low of 37. Quite the blustery day on tap for tomorrow. @Itstrainingtime still haven’t forgotten about your Grunk inquiry, just been super busy. At this point I think I’ll just take in today’s game before commenting ha. I do know this, it’s been nothing but heartbreak hotel for this team lately. They really deserve to have something good happen to them here down the stretch.

you forgot the "PREPARE NOW"

that's a LOT better than i'd expect

Yes, nothing awful about MJO phase 6 in December so of course phase 7 would be even better. Phase 6, La Nina DEC

25.0 this morning...coldest so far. Not sure this winter will be much better than the last several but I do like that we've only been above 60F (61) once so far this month whereas last year we did that six times in the first half. Three of those were above 70F. Maybe a good sign?

Low-cost labor is only a part of China's advantage in renewables. It probably helped initiate things, but China's advantage now goes far beyond labor costs. The combination of its comparative advantage in access to rare earth minerals, experience/learning benefits from aggressively advancing its renewable energy technologies, and economies of scale from its scaling production have given it a significant and sustainable competitive advantage. It's difficult to envision any other country being able to imitate what China is able to do in producing renewable energy technologies anytime soon. Moreover, China is beginning to deploy AI in its renewable energy technology development, which could give it another boost in its renewable energy leadership. In contrast, the U.S. has largely ceded this field. Moreover, its doubling down on energy of the past and its suppression of scientific research through policy/funding changes could essentially deprive it of a capacity to become competitive in renewable energy technology.

Only down to 29.8° this morning. No fake cold for me.

Iowa at USC, 3:30pm EST, could be a fun watch.

the big pattern change is afoot- 4 corners lows constantly ejecting toward us for the next 3-4 weeks. One of them should be a minimal car topper event but still the GOM is not opened for business yet. We really need one of the 4 corner lows to go into the GOM and then run up the coast and stall as a Miller A. The PAC winds are just to strong right now and too progressive. Three more days of 40+ winds coming this week. I am so tired of dealing with dead ash trees falling with our public works dept.

A lot of the hi-res models have lake effect streamers making their way across PA tomorrow evening. Some of us could get a localized snow squall that whitens the ground.
