I like the 6 panel viewings. I hope they bring back NARR.

It’s remarkable how reliable this warm up has been since 2011 from 12-17 to 12-25. Every year has seen at least a high of 55°. This period has had a large concentration of top 3 warmest temperatures.

Looks like ass

Ended the month with 3.5" of rain, equalling the total of the prior 2 months.

Sorry, Ray ... wasn't intending to derail your winter thread. LOL seriously tho.

I didn't see someone ask for a selfie? Just kidding

I was speaking with an old friend in Germany recently. He said it's become so bad there that some are being arrested simply for posting their own opinion on social media platforms, she says it reminds her of what they studied about 1930s Germany. This isn't a political "side" issue at all, it's a societal issue and it's... spooky

Glad you unfroze and pinned the October thread to the top.

I haven’t seen one up here since July. I'm always out in the bush so I'm a good meter.

don’t fall for that social media post going around. that’s just the crops fading and being harvested. literally looks like that every year around this time.

day is perfect when you can wear your hoodie and not even break a sweat..

So ...what exactly was I going for LOL

Unlike last year when we had the strong +AAM, this year the AAM is ridiculously negative. We are very clearly in a La Niña atmospheric state this time around

Well people believed the farmers almanac, squirrels hiding nuts, etc. before the internet, so this whole post loses whatever you were going for

that's going to flip back over the next couple of weeks with the anomalous ridge developing there

Who needs snow when the demise of society is imminent-

Okay, I was responding to that post - within which you did not specify "this country" I wasn't aware if there's any back ground context preceding - Having said that... I agree in so much that people don't notice what does not cause them inconvenience more directly than it has. However, the fact that there are examples of this abroad should cause some pause anyway ... but that's perhaps a different discussion.

You said a lot but very little related to my point. I said there haven't been MAJOR impacts to agriculture or large numbers of people losing their homes by the ocean. Meaning in this country. Neither has occurred. By major, I mean massive price spikes (not inflation-driven) or shortages of food due to climate change. Things people would really notice and care about. That has not occurred. And thus there is not the widespread public outrage for change.

Yes, totally. We kind of "acknowledged" each other when you moved up here a few years ago. I have lived here downtown since 2010, from Boston and Newton, Mass., born and raised, but have lived in a couple other cities over the years. I don't usually post much, just OBS during winter, but have a little time off from work while I take care of moving, birthday last month, busy stuff that I don't have time to do while working (thanks, Boss! :)). Anytime--coffee, BEER (ha), lemonade, whatever. Edit, forgot emoji.

It's a dumbing down of population, one that then became subjected to enormous data and "unconstrained interpretation" ( last 20 years...). They were first made less incapable of categorical management ( mentally...), then it looks unmanageable to them in what's really become sociological crisis in society. All dimensions. Decision making and judgements failing to screen through very good, if at all, objective analytics, is actually causing frenetic disruption, paranoia, good old fashioned fear. It's why "populism" is making a comeback. Populism gives rise to dictatorships - or prone to that occurrence throughout history, by the way. It's not just America either. It's what technology is doing to humanity in a great evolutionary experiment our species has embarked upon. It started with the Industrial Revolution, and has really gotten uncontrolled - particularly spanning the last 30 years of technology acceleration. Folks may not be able to articulate and/or quantify in sophistication/understanding, but damn well can intuit and abstractly sense .. But this latter form of awareness lends to uncertainty. Uncertainty = fear at group capacity. --> contractions and pull away from progressive ideologies, seeking "safe traditions" - which unfortunately ... are on the wrong side of history, because those same traditions also got us into a state of climate crisis... It's not gonna end well, folks.

Holy shit we should meet up around town at some point, plenty of places here in Brattleboro for that Sent from my SM-S166V using Tapatalk

Wow, I had no clue EWALL made major upgrades! https://mapwall.met.psu.edu/ewall/

It depends on where their forecast area is based off the green box on the map, it says it right on the page, so whatever Don points out is actually told right there. Belmar includes the Shark River area, whereas south Belmar is several miles away, so that is why it is probably cooler by being mostly surrounded by water vs not. Anyway, enjoy seaside. Rides and games should be open for fun. Years ago in the late 80s/early 90s when I was a kid, the one wheel game where you could win baseball cards, I figured out the wheel clicks and would win like 80% of the time, haha.
