    I just got an Ecowitt HP2584 a few weeks ago after my Ambient WS2902 died after 8 years, I had a headache trying to find my exact elevation too. Do you find the piezoelectric rain gauge to be accurate?

    At the same time though it's nothing like 1999 or 2002 this drought has been much more localized. In 1999 for example there was a water emergency in the Poconos. There are water restrictions this year down in the valley cities but it's only because there has been too much rain which has caused sediments to run off into the reservoirs. Nothing for me to worry about because all my water comes from a well.

    I would use 1971-2000 rainfall totals to calculate averages after that period rainfall became excessive.

    Wow, I grow all three species too, but mine are in pots. I bring them inside if lows are forecasted to be in the low 20’s since pots freeze much faster than the ground, but they spend most of the winter outside. My Windmill is about 6 feet tall so it’s becoming a hassle. I’ve grown more than a dozen other palm species but these 3 are far and away the most rugged, even outside of winter. I too wish they’d catch on here.

    Yes at around 1650 ft elevation near Lake Harmony. When I set up my Ambient WS-2000 and Ecowitt HP2584 weather stations I had to find the exact lat long and elevation and it came up with 1531 ft but I think that's wrong because it underdoes my Barometric pressure. I had to adjust it upward by about 0.05 inches on both units. If you have an easier way for me to calculate my exact elevation I'd appreciate it Chris. Here are the two numbers I used. Absolute air pressure 28.55 inches Relative air pressure 30.08 inches Is the low absolute air pressure the reason I dont feel the Florida type humidity up here?

    Interesting article that would solve part of the kill mechanism of the P-T. Too difficult to compare today. We have a better continental configuration with more evolved ecosystems, a somewhat smaller basin and ice sheets+lower albedo to work with, but a sun that's 2-3% brighter. The buffer is obviously better, even if the "hothouse" ceiling has fallen a lot since then due to luminosity increases.

    Im sorry i dont think solar has a big impact on enso

    Sweet jeebus...I just stepped outside. I'm not doing that again until November! 86F/DP 78F

    Thank you @Jsauss and @Itstrainingtime One bad thing about my birthday- it’s always miserably hot.

    As usual, puts me in the middle of nothing.

    Thankfully it's been solid clouds this morning. Makes a bearable. 84°

    Paul, using other stations as references will only work if those stations are reference grade themselves. If there are station moves or other major changes, they are no longer "references". The stations you have chosen as "references" show 14 detected breaks in the 1941 to 1975 windows alone. I was working on this graph anyway, see below. The fact that known good references are so scarce is a major motivation for developing homogenization processes or alternatives like BEST's scalpel. These methods presume the raw data is replete with breaks and work to overcome this challenge. Your approach does not. The September 1921 TOB for Coatesville shows up clearly on the kinds of comparisons seen above.

    Short to mid-range guidance has definitely trended towards the dry side for much of NC with heat building back in next week. Was really hoping to kill the drought but we might yet start sliding again.

    85/78/99 here I've been growing 3 different types of palm since 2017. Needle palm and Sabal Minor dont grow into trees but they are cold tolerant enough to survive our winters completely unprotected. I had some defoliation with this past winter being as harsh as it was but they survived and are growing back well this summer. I also have a Windmill palm which does grow a trunk. You would need to have some protection from the coldest days in the winter for a Windmill palm, but the vast majority of the time you could leave them unprotected. It's truly amazing being able to look out the window when it's 20 degrees outside, everything is dead and brown but the palm trees stay green like evergreens. Wish more people knew they can grow here

    Probably safe to book the trip to FL or the Caribbean this September when it’s cheap.

    We appear to be early phases of El Niño intensification coinciding with passing the 400 ppm mark. But at least we don’t have the giant Pangea landmass configuration anymore. So while past warmer climates experienced stronger El Niños, this current configuration with the Pacific as it is today probably wouldn’t support something as extreme in the future. https://www.science.org/content/article/strong-el-niños-primed-earth-mass-extinction Geological evidence suggests that before the eruptions, atmospheric CO2 levels were likely about 400 parts per million (ppm), similar to the present day. As they began to tick up, the model showed profound El Niño events began to occur, says Alexander Farnsworth, a study co-author and paleoclimate modeler at the University of Bristol. Warm western waters at the equator spread east, preventing deep, cold waters from reaching the surface. Chaotic weather would have been unleashed worldwide, as happens during today’s El Niños. As CO2 levels rose to 800 ppm and beyond, the El Niños grew more fearsome than any in history, lasting up to 7 years. “You’re seeing this incredible heat buildup, which just persists,” Farnsworth says. https://eos.org/articles/mega-el-nino-may-have-led-to-major-mass-extinction-252-million-years-ago The good news is that the configuration of our continents means that even if the ENSO cycle changes wildly, we won’t experience conditions nearly as brutal as those at the end of the Permian. “The modern ocean is a much better buffer than before,” said Sun. “We have much more complex ecosystems.”

    @MANDA that confirms my guess of 1.25” at my house. A buddy in Denville sent photos of how high the Rockaway crested this morning.
