  1. Past hour
  2. So June and July predictions were good so let’s see if we can get a tropically controlled August.
  3. My background is in ticks, and you are right that the white-footed mice spread them the most along with chipmunks. This is why you NEVER want to sit on a rock wall in or near the woods. The mice nest in them, and they are loaded with larval ticks, which molt into nymphs. The nymphs, because of their size, are the ones most likely to transmit Lyme. The deer are the singles bar for the ticks. The adult females feed on them, and the male ticks move from female to female to mate (gigitty gigitty as Quagmire would say). The males don't really even care about a blood meal, just mating. Such is life.
  4. I’d almost prefer that over the work currently being done on the side right now lol..yeah, it’s a work in progress
  5. Had to zoom in on your pic. At first, it looked like the gable end of your house got pelted with hail.
  6. There has been a total collapse of the South Pacific High (“Anticyclone”). Something that hasn’t happened since 1997 and one of the main reasons for the inferno in region 1+2, along with the huge WWBs and DWKWs we’ve been seeing for months….
  7. Yep, I missed it not at home lol. But it looks like the majority is a few miles north of me.
  8. Canada looks wet too, might be a good thing wrt wildfire smoke.
  9. 90° for some stations today ... 89° here.
  10. Too bad you’re not smart enough to figure out how to view other’s posts.
  11. Some models hinting at popping a weak coastal a week from now
  12. At least the monsoon is showing up in Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico
  13. My understanding is that ironically it is white footed field mice rather than deer that spread ticks the most, including the type commonly known as "deer ticks." Foxes eat the mice, and communities with active fox populations have a significantly reduced incidence of tick-borne diseases.
  14. The North Pacific is indeed the last quadrant to respond (possibly due to the arctic) but I think it wakes up to El Niño in due time. It is responding well everywhere else in the world (including the raging jet in the Southern Pacific).
  15. Nope, not at all. As Ray @40/70 Benchmark already stated earlier, the tropics and subtropics/++PMM are very clearly in full blown strong El Niño mode. At no point was I disagreeing with bluewave about the extratropical North Pacific. Changing the subject to the discussion above, as far as the NAO, no way on God’s green earth do I think the NAO averages negative this winter (Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar) despite what some weenie accounts on twitter are saying. Super El Niño, descending solar activity off a big solar max, high geomag, +QBO….color me very, very skeptical of this big -NAO winter hype on social media
  16. Milwaukee going to have the record dryest July. Can't say the same about drinking.
  17. <1/8 mile vis with this torrential rain, 60 dBZ echoes Glad Sox finished in time!
