All Activity

Well those mofo’s are here. They were flying into my ears this evening. Gnats

Yeah man they are brutal . Every 5 AM summer run they just hammer my head and neck . Being as heavily wooded as this area is.. they literally find me no matter where I am . They are super territorial too. They have small areas they fly and as soon as you lose one. Another one gets you .. and so on and so on . The one positive is as sweaty as I get , they don’t like that and generally don’t bite because of the salt . But the annoyance factor is enough to make someone gouge their eyes out with a grapefruit spoon.

Black flies.

Ugh. Not a fan of this type of warning. "Possible large and extremely dangerous..." "Radar indicated rotation" It's either radar (TDS) or spotter confirmed as being "large and extremely dangerous," or you don't use the PDS designation.

Same here. Hardly anything in the way it bugs. Except for ticks.

I kept my hands really still. I was able to snap 3 different ones.

So for which stations and years did you eliminate the raw data in your efforts to subtract the constant? Below is the actual raw data for comparison to your altered data chart. The raw actual average temperatures have still never been able to eclipse the warming Chester County experienced way back in 1931. Minor cyclical warming is as always all the real raw data shows....

How the hell is it so steady looking while using zoom lol

Samsung S24 ultra lol.

Same thing essentially… gnats are the broad term for small annoying flies, ha. “Gnats are a broader category of small flies that can include black flies and other species. Black flies, also known as buffalo gnats or biting gnats, are small, dark flies that are active in late spring and early summer.”

two possible QLCS tornadoes near Moline, IL edit: new PDS warning extended through the Quad Cities

I’ve never seen a worse place for deer flies than NE CT woods. Those things are absolutely relentless until you kill them. Then the horse flies that are the size of nickels, but they aren’t as bad as the deer flies.

Damn that is a super sharp pic. Did you take that with a tripod and a good optical zoom lens?

The Cornwall/Falls Village area here in Connecticut is insane with black gnats all summer long. I used to do outside work there in my younger years as well as my in-laws used to live there and from May to Frost it was miserable to be outside unless there was 40 mph wind.

It was in the 50's after the rainstorms hit in Fort Collins. That probably feels more like winter than summer. Clouds climbing the valley

I thought maybe was the deer fly they were taking about which are very territorial

Yes, im able to take sick pics of the sun

So if it’s what I think.. the tiny little things that fly into my eyes when I’m out pruning the shrubs every week? And I have to go inside and look in the mirror precariously to get them out? And they buzz your ears. And if you hold your arm above your head they fly to highest point? Those are gnats to me

The sky looks pretty smoky right now

You shouldn't criticize something you don't understand. The charts are 100% raw data. I've merely subtracted a constant from each station to set each stations to zero at a common point in time, either 1948-1969 or 1950. That removes the differences between stations which allows the year-to-year and long-term trends to be seen more easily. The year-to-year and long-term trends are not changed by the subtraction of a constant from each year. Phoenixville and Coatesville warm by exactly the same amount either way. West Chester, at the pre-move location, shows little change in temperature either way.

Simulium venustum are the spring bastards

Lenient PCP that they'll write you a script beforehand. I would love to have some in storage for just- in-case.

Yep, same animal.

Fail

We may be talking about the same thing unless you mean the tiny midges/no-seeums
