ban worthy

Must be clear air mode

Looks like rain changes are nil for most tonight. What are all of those spots all over the radar? Doesn't look like typical rain. Radar glitch?

Anyone getting any precip from that blob crossing 78?

Might hit 0.05” at this rate

By the way I do think some of the stuff with processed food is an addiction, my parents were big on eating healthy so I never got why some people just can't eat normal food. But I've been told by people who have been eating highly processed food since they were little that they can't even digest vegetables. It didn't make sense to me but then I read this. Mr. Moss was able to obtain documents that support this entire story. Michael Moss stated, “What I found, over four years of research and reporting, was a conscious effort — taking place in labs and marketing meetings and grocery-store aisles — to get people hooked on foods that are convenient and inexpensive.” Mr. Moss interviewed over 300 people who had been involved, or were still involved, with the food industry. In this article, he relays examples of how certain foods were formulated to make products irresistible to consumers. Foods that he mentioned in the magazine article were Dr. Pepper soft drink, Prego spaghetti sauce, Lunchables with dessert, the line extension for Lay’s potato chips, and several other major processed foods. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/04/26/990821079/cheap-legal-and-everywhere-how-food-companies-get-us-hooked-on-junk

Imagine if that was snow, WW3 would have started lol

I'm bitter about the massive bust that was Thursday haha

70’s Fri thru weekend . Never ending summer modeled

Cant even buy a decent storm. I'm not even a big fan of storms, they're too localized, but seeing something like what we did back in early July would be nice.

That entire OT conversation is the result of our weather being unbelievably boring.

Don actually posted about this in the banter thread so we can continue from there.

Indeed I will do that. I just thought that there are so many banter posts in here now, that to clean up this thread for the whole thing to get moved.

it was 81 here today even when it was overcast, no idea where that 76 at JFK came from =\

Some places have had rain. But, if the models are correct, many places in VA will go the better part of 3 months with less than 5” of rain.

Or you guys could easily use the + quote option and reply in the banter thread. It's not rocket science.

Same - specifically and only over the grounds of the US Whitewater Center in CLT so that I don't have to run a 50k trail race.

I can agree with this position. I accept the science of human induced climate change, as well as the harm it can cause to natural ecosystems, human communities, as well as economies. What saddens me is the way the climate movement has cozied up to the utter buffoonery of a radicalized left (see Greta Thunberg), who I would argue has done more to set environmental causes backwards than having actually helped anything.

Take the bullshit to banter.

Let someone move the whole thing to the banter thread.

I care. Warm means less snow. You don't care about snow?

Germany is a screwed up nation on multiple fronts, we shouldn't be using them as an example.

Can we stop talking about climate change please? There is a thread for that where you can post all about AGW and the ills of humanity until your fingers fall off. This is a local weather thread. Its warm, AGW. We get it. No one cares…move on

and asthma and diabetes type 2 because of urban food deserts and high consumption of processed food which we're now trying to address with urban farming. the relation to climate change is the ultimate cause is the same, getting screwed over by corporations bent on profit. The same thing happens in Asia too and other parts of the world-- this isn't a uniquely American issue. There are two reasons climate change wasn't addressed properly decades ago. 1 is that these companies have too much power with their money and corporate lobbyists. 2 is that some people rather shortsightedly fought against nuclear fission reactors. The argument should have been made back then that coal causes more radioactive waste than nuclear fission does.
