Big differences between Winter 15-16 and 23-24, probably contributed to something along the lines of the PDO (15-16 was >+1, 23-24 was <-1).

The two inch soil values have crashed statewide. We really need another 1"-2" of rain in the next week.

We've worked hard the past decade to let our lawn grow longer, end bad chemical usage, and increase native plants to boost our lightning bugs.

Man could you imagine if we got a PDO in the +0.5 - +1.0 range?

Highs: PHL: 90 EWR: 89 BLM: 89 New Brnswck: 89 ACY: 88 TEB: 87 NYC: 86 TTN: 86 LGA: 86 JFK: 85 ISP: 82

There has been much less of them for the last few years, like a fraction! In 2013 when I was in Sedona, AZ there must have been 300+, the sky looked like hell.

Monday will no longer be a cool down. Humid and mid 80s.

Stms lurking around my area. Would be nice if one hit here.

Pretty damn warm GFS run at 500

I figured it would be about chemtrails.

WB 18Z AI EPS similar look to the GEFS.

Finally saw the first lightning bug of the season! I’m sitting on the patio with a whiskey(s) and a few flying around, so I expect they’ll be out in force with a little heat this weekend. Retired life is good

WB 18Z GEFS. Next 7 days overall look pretty dry. Third week of June has potential to be wetter.

Well, maybe you’ll have luck with that -narrowing it down as you say. But I kind of look at it this way… Triggers only trigger if there’s an underlying vulnerability put in place. Pretty sure when I removed the processed sugars and processed carbs. I removed the underlying vulnerability. So now those so-called triggers go with it. I hear you about people not truly understanding it though… I cringe whenever I hear somebody say “oh man; I have such a migraine” I’m like no you don’t

I'll take it. June is important for crop formation. Even the afternoon storms and showers would at least keep things from sliding further into drought.

87 was the high here today.

Only people that suffer with these can relate . Everyone else just doesn’t understand it. These are life altering , dehabilitating conditions. I can’t tell you how much it has affected holidays, work , just life in general . You live in fear of when one will hit. I’m glad you were able to narrow it down to your triggers . I would estimate 80% of mine have occurred in spring or fall into early winter. Being into weather , I did a tremendous amount of research and stumbled upon the baro pressure cause. Where you get rapid pressure rises /falls with those seasonal fropas with wind . It’s amazing how many happened in those cases it triggers the blood vessel expansion in the brain

And by the way, if you absolutely have to have something sugary, you can mix Allulose, which is organic and comes from plants. It doesn’t actually add any sugar to your system … mix with 5% by volume of Stevia, also organic from , and the combination of those two mimic sugar almost identically with none of the glycemic impact on your bloodstream. So I don’t really miss sugar in that sense

Yeah, it sounds like you and I came the exact same path in life. Truth be told I stumbled on my cure by accident I was doing an experimental diet for weightlifting, which was high in carbohydrates, but I was eating the wrong kind of carbs and wasn’t really aware of it or actually… I might’ve been aware of it, but I didn’t take it seriously because I’ve never had a problem with it, but I came back with a 6.0 on the A1c and they said I was getting prediabetic that despite the fact that I work out pretty much every day of the week too So I freaked out and panicked and did a lot of research learned all about the different kinds of sugar, how they occur nature, how they occur in industry, what the difference is and how we get them in on purpose or by accident …everything and developed a diet that was completely devoid of any of them Migraines gone. I don’t know, give it a try. It might be worth it. I can see how general Tsao did that too, cause who the hell knows how they’re sweetening that. I don’t dare get anything sweet from a Chinese restaurant since I made this connection. I sometimes get chicken wings though, but they don’t sweeten by the way, it’s funny you called that kaleidoscope because me and my buddy Geoff, who also has the exact same migraines this whole life we call it “K day” in texts

I saw that but I think it’s unlikely. G3 would require dark sky and a good camera even if it had the right parameters. Currently the particle density is rather pitiful and the bz is positive which is bad as well.

Yeah I know there’s a few of us on here ( Dendy is one) that have discussed this over the years. I too get that heart wrenching , panic attack aura that lasts for 25-30 minutes. Lose your vision., see kaleidoscope shapes .. all the while knowing the hell that is about to follow. I’ve had it happen while driving on sales calls and had to pull over . In my younger days it would result in nausea .”, vomiting , pounding headaches. As I have aged the headaches are more manageable and no nausea. In fact, I went 3 years without getting any in my early 50’s.. and then this past holiday season had about 5 in less than a month including one on Christmas Day. I thought I had outgrown them as generally you do into your 50’s. For me trigger’s were General Tso’s chicken , driving with sunlight thru the trees creating strobing , and the biggest culprit of all .. barometric pressure rises and falls . I gave been to neurologists for tests and so have some triptofan medication which I do take . I have gotten multiple ones in the same day hours apart .

Smoking anything isn’t my style, but big fan of a mild 5mg edible in the evening, especially for sleep. I sleep amazingly on a low dose indica rosin edible. Don’t like to do it too often though so sleep doesn’t get too dependent on it, but before a day off or heading into the weekend, best sleep of the week. High of 83F off a low of 43F, another 40-degree swing. Currently 63/52. Great June day.

I’m wondering if hands felt like 2 balloons that day ?

Hey Kevin, I pretty much cured my migraines by eliminating all processed sugar and/or simple carbs as much as possible Take some getting used to it and it might seem boring to eat that way, but after a while you get used to it it’s totally OK I was stricken with two maybe three migraines a month for the past 45 to 50 years of my life. Although as I got into my 40s, the actual pain part of the headaches got more tolerable. But I would still get the aura with a distorted vision shit that lasts for 20 minutes to a half hour, followed by headache anyway, I tried a lot of different things about diet with some limited success, but they always just came back. The only thing that’s really worked and I’ve had one migraine in the past two years … only one (and I think I know why ) is no added or processed sugar of any kind and no simple carbs like white bread or white pasta. Sometimes you’re gonna get some of that stuff by accident because we’re Americans and we live under a western cultural diet umbrella but it’s likely related to thresholds of tolerance. If you keep your exposure to that stuff is minimal as possible for me anyway that turned out to be my silver bullet. Upshot is that all those other inflammatory factors if you have any of them get better I haven’t had a cold in two years either by the way, and it’s proven scientifically that it’s better for your immune system if you get sugars from things like fruit, which by the way, you can eat a very sweet mango and a very sweet cantaloupe and the sugar that’s in there doesn’t actually raise your glycemic index I can eat fruit to the cows from home. I don’t get any migraines at all. Beer is OK … Although it’s bad for other reasons, I won’t get into that Gotta have some fun in life though Oh, and by the way, I do on Saturday and Sunday use a little bit of organic Trinidad cane sugar in my coffee, but that’s it. I can tell you right now if I got ahold of high fructose corn syrup? doomed
