I liked that it didn't rain much (although it did rain last weekend.)

It's gonnabe a 2013-2014 Winter in the DC metropolitan region. Get the diggin shovels ready. Get ready to be watching models for months.

Too bad these guys are gone https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chestnut_ermine_moth

I saw that new earlier today! Exciting!

Think more study should be looked at.SSWE are rare to start with in the SP,since last year there never has been one since 2002,its even more rare last year there were two.But there is also seemingly some correlation with ELNino and LaNIna,in 1979 and the last SSWE in 2002,these were ELNINO years,.2003 winter had the great blizzard in the Mid Atlantic/NE,late Jan

Areas in the Arctic will also be opened up to farming and other activities. Have to look at all sides.

I agree about today’s warmth. Today’s mid 80s felt pretty decent due to a nice NE breeze and dewpoints in the low 60s. It was nice enough to get me to do an impromptu walk at the park. In stark contrast to your area due to over double the normal Aug rains and plentiful rains May-July overall, our water tables are getting a much needed break with the mainly dry (only 0.9” MTD).

Hey Liberty, In addition from what I’ve read, extreme cold has killed many more than extreme heat has although that balance could eventually even up and then reverse well into the future if GW continues that long. More significantly as I recently posted about, increased CO2 has helped lead to increased crop sizes via 3 main ways: -longer avg growing seasons -ability to grow crops in higher latitudes that couldn’t sustain them before -CO2 fertilization effect since CO2 is like plant food So it isn’t all bad by any means and an increased food supply for animals is a biggie and not just for farmers!

89 at both MLI and DVN today, 88 here. Mid 90s tomorrow through Monday. Any rain looks to miss well east, over by Chicagoland. Our desert-like stretch looks to go on for at least another week.

I don't see it as people not believing it's happening, the vast majority of people know it's happening, they just have many other concerns that matter more to them. Or they actually want warmer weather (especially in the winter.)

It's probably not an existential threat unless you're talking about island nations. Don, we are moving towards more renewable fuels, but at a slower pace than most would like. We'll get there eventually. I would mention to guess at least part of the inertia comes from a majority of people actually liking or wanting warmer temperatures in the winter.

a dew point of 50 is very low, let's take a much more likely scenario.... in August 1918 New York City recorded an all time monthly high of 104 degrees, what was the dew point on that day when the temperature was 104 degrees? Probably somewhere between 65-70 if I would guess. Compare that to the typical August day we get now, it rarely gets higher than 90-95 in August anymore and this year the highest temperature was only 86 =\

That was a cold winter here in NYC with 57 inches of snow. Alot of fluffy snow events. One morning it went down to 1 degrees here.

I look at Carter's mishap as young and dumb. If it continues then yes it is a problem. I'm sure veteran teammates had a talk with him. But yeah, he is a talent and they don't grow on trees...

83 was my high. I am REALLY excited for the 48-60 degree days I get to experience starting Tuesday for 10 weeks while you guys bake. My garden will die since it’s drier than ever before but whatever.

And many on you tube and elsewhere are calling for a cold E US winter? Does that jibe with the warmest N Pacific on record?

Hit 89 today. 89 this time of year actually feels great, especially with the lower humidity and cooler nights. Summer is back, a long with 2 more weeks of no rain for me. Dry as fuck...grass is brown, trees dropping leaves. Definitely drought conditions here.

Honest question - increasing SSTs would seem to make an AMO Inactive period more active than it otherwise would be, wouldn't it?

Even the AI is trolling me.

I had snow last year on Christmas Eve
