All Activity

This thread is pretty fucked up lol. Nothing about an issued watch or warning is complicated.

No idea. Intuitively this doesn't sound right to me. A watch is put into effect when conditions are favorable for tornadic activity to occur. If nothing happens then so what. It was a watch- warning the public of the possibility.

The 2015-2016 winter was absurdly unremarkable except for that monster blizzard. I almost got my entire seasons worth of snow just from that one storm alone. Otherwise it barely snowed at all.

The things people do to each other.

0.10” in the bucket this evening with another shower passing through. May end up surpassing Tuesday’s total at this rate.

Yeah. Our nephew (Eagle) was there a ton. I think our son went to an event there.

I think some people are just skeptical because the PDO is so outrageously negative for what is already a super Nino. I know it's still summer but this persistent very -PDO almost defies those same laws of physics and reality you talk about.

Thanks for the link!

I'm beginning to tire of the Abenaki rain dances. I would try to get him blocked but likely a losing cause. Maybe go over his head. Is that Randy guy still in charge? He seemed reasonable.

Wore a sweatshirt most mornings this month or at least had the heat on in the truck. Second half of August is usually when I notice the cooler mornings. Outside at 6:00, for a reference.

I have heard from family who know people on the job there that some are just now getting back to work after seeing what they saw when they first arrived.

Brief shower earlier last hour, now it is pouring in Lower Macungie/ Ancient Oaks. I welcome these showers as the corn and soybeans are loving it.

Start here, lol

Yeah it blows. Same thing here. 66° . What's this the 50th below normal day in a row? Still July for Christ's sake. The summer that wasn't...

Just had a brief deluge in New Hope, Pa. It didn't last long but it was intense. We've been dodging showers all day but that one really nailed us.

You're welcome...

My wife is also following, she is saying the same thing.........

I’ll be honest I am now invested in this.

Several things: 1) Your posted chart includes Russia. It has been an above average fire season in the European Union so far. As per Copernicus: 2) France is having its worst fire season (Copernicus) in some two decades: 3) Climate change has contributed through its impact on heat/drought, which increased the vapor pressure deficit (dried the vegetation). The impact of climate change--how much more likely, how much worse, etc.--the fires would have been has not yet been assessed in the attribution studies. It's had a contribution. The extent of the contribution remains to be determined. 4) Climate change is expected to lead to an increase in extreme wildfires. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41612-024-00575-8

Not everyone runs in the house like a “cat” when surprised by Mother Nature.

If some people are actually arguing that the extratropics in the Northern Hemisphere are going to somehow magically stay in a La Niña state with a raging super El Niño in place this fall and winter then I have no words. I think (hope), that’s not what some are forecasting, since it would completely defy the laws of physics and reality
