All Activity

Cloudy and a humid 63. Ready to go from sweating over the grill in shorts this evening to wearing a jacket tomorrow.

what the hell is all of this crap about some monster coastal storm next week lol.

All winter long.. All all all winter .

Got home just in time, pouring here in Rockland.

No real surprises. Wet and warm Also this is new: The National Weather Service will implement the use of “Particularly Dangerous Situation” wording in select Blizzard Warnings and Ice Storm Warnings this season. This language will help forecasters alert partners and the public about high-confidence blizzards or ice storms of historic severity. These rare events typically pose exceptional threats by posing imminent danger to life and unprecedented disruptions to emergency services.

naso nice today, want the 60s/70s back

Somehow drizzled my way to 0.14

Misty this morning. Last regular season game for fall softball tonight. Methinks I won’t be playing but guess we shall see

GOAK trough. We mild.

It is?

If the pattern we will have Oct 17-24 this week could repeat in dec-feb we would be buried in snow on the coast.

Some of the models clear NJ out enough this afternoon for another run at 80°. Would serve to enhance the instability ahead of the severe storm potential later today. Frost vs first freeze for Sunday morning at the usual cool spots will be contingent on whether the winds can go calm for radiational cooling under the big high.

Screaming west to east PAC jet . Welcome to the start of a massive Nino. It’s here

Embrace disappearing winters

You are handwaving. The number and intensity of climate-related disasters is increasing.

Misty morning coming to work. Decent line of heavy rain in NW nj.

The increased economic damage is due to the huge increase in building on the coasts, in particular of luxury properties. I lived right on the coast in both FL and CA over the past few decades, and have seen in firsthand. Much of it also is due to generally increased economic prosperity (and population increase), and due to inflation. As your economy grows, you're going to have a lot more stuff that can get damaged. Not an indicator of "world death" but actually the opposite in fact. Re: European heat wave Much of that could have been prevented if a lot more people had air conditioning, as they do in places like the US.

Yeah, starting to see the SW CONUS trough develop in response to the forcing extending into that area from the EPAC.

this is part of the frustration - focusing on minutia to distract from the elephant
