  1. Past hour
  2. The key to that post is 78 panel.
  3. NAM precip just stops at the Potomac and goes east on the 78 panel, lol
  4. Ended up with 8.3” at home from this last event on 0.60” water.
  5. That is actually good news! Now we have a chance
  6. That’ll be better than your frontal passage lolololol
  7. Let’s go USA hockey!!! I am watching now but won’t spoil anything for those watching the replay tonight.
  8. I'm dying, coworkers are wondering why I am cracking up
  9. Bring me my 2” of slush on the grass and remaining snowcover while the driveway stays wet.
  10. It's a loaded question. I will answer it in detail when I have more time later tonight.
  11. Well there's also the fact that it's lot harder to survive in extreme cold than it is in extreme heat, which is why so many more people die each year from cold weather. Human comfort / survivability is not one of the negative effects of MMGW. Sea level rise and increase in storms, yes. But not the temperature itself. IMO areas becoming "difficult to survive in" is a non-issue for MMGW. Any slight increase in storm activity is just noise in the overall background of improved infrastructure and weather prediction. A *lot* fewer people die these days from hurricanes and floods than they did in years past. (Sea level rise of course is a non-issue w/regards to survivability; the creep is way slower than natural human birth/death cycles. I always have to laugh when I hear of literal human "danger" proposed as being due to sea level rise.)
  12. He changed his name to PhiEaglesfan
  13. He's been trying hard to get us some snow but hasn't really address the drought and the fast PAC jet which are killing our chances
  14. WB 18Z 12K NAM looks more amped so far at HR 48
  15. Yeah, it looks like they’re dressed for a springtime picnic.
  16. Alright, now we have a 25% chance of 10+". Let's make it count!
  17. I have to agree. When the systems keep flip-flopping with one model ( mostly the Euro lately ).... It usually never ends well
  18. me too. just weird seeing the most skilled piece of guidance we have end up that aggressive. something will give by tomorrow
  19. I don't disagree here in principle ... but the limitation and problems causing belated response, it's all even simpler than this. It's that people don't step out of the way of warnings... The step out of the way of what is causing them pain. It's biological, alright. May as well throw some irony in there, too. Biology is limiting human response from actually adjusting to the calculus they are capable of making. Such that people deny because they can ... They don't and won't be forced to do anything, unless it hurts. It's that simple. If that sounds really, really stupid? Your right. We are a flawed species. Period. "To err is human", but if we're not careful? no one left to forgive. If CC appealed to any of the 5 senses (and I'd even take the spectrum between emotion to the 6th sense in that manifold of everyday experiences) there would be no debate. Little furthering muse... When the waves of population correction ( to put it nicely) begin to sweep over civilizations... there may even be attempts at blaming it on something else. Because even as it's killing, CC moves so slow compared to the every day experience; the 90% Idiocrasy will still not believe it is so. They'll still fail to connect their shortcomings and observations to cause. I've drafted out this analogy, years ago in this climate sub forum somewhere.. I still think of it. This hearkens to the story of Noah in some ways - I am absolutely not religious, and am not attempting to take this down into that lunacy. But it is still interesting, as the planet warms... and the masses continue to ignore, if not heckle it as a background problem of lesser import, the oceans will rise. Only creeping at first. I'm taking a little sc-fi doom prophecy dystopian license here, fine. However, fact of the matter is, yeah ...the oceans are rising because of CC. Species are perishing. Human adaptiveness will proverbially doggy paddle, but like other people do ...when drowning is on the line, they'll take another man down with them to save themselves. That ending there becomes a metaphor for wars. I guess we're powerless to stop the elegantly obtuse folly of the human finale, so may as well sit back and popcorn and cook the show. Maybe when the aliens happen by this planet in a 1,000 years, they'll see all these monuments to our past - hopefully they'll find, and learn to decode the language of Percy Shelly, "Ozymandias"
