All Activity

Models had been suggesting another possible frost/freeze around Oct 28-29, but that is gone. They've all gone to more of a sw flow. It's looking more active after the next week. We could use a little rain.

This season has been absolutely bonkers. All the major hurricanes is just unreal counting each one. 4 more names and we run out. I'm thinking we won't exhaust the list but it could get close.

Only thing I'll say on this whole topic since I only just now saw all these CC posts but half your posts are always about how 'erm actually the science is wrong' in most of your posts lol Also you say you'll take everything over to the Climate Change thread and then right after that just continue to respond in a passive aggressive manner about it and telling people how they're wrong and you're right. It's just always been bizarre to me that just because Chester County hasn't really warmed all that much that that means the rest of the world hasn't either. It's classic not IMBY. If it's not happening to me it's not happening to anyone else. I don't live that far from you I fucking wish it hasn't gotten as hot as it has here over the decades. But it is always fascinating to watch people jump through endless hoops in their head about how something that's real isn't actually real. I used to be a staunch climate change denier when I was a teenager but then I grew up and educated myself as well as just casually comparing how life was locally when I was a kid in the 90's/2000's compared to how it is now in the 2020's. Just my local observations were what convinced me eventually. I wish it was like how it was 30 years ago but it's not anymore. Anyway not speaking about this topic anymore but I feel like I'm a bit more vested in chiming in about it since I've been on both sides of the argument in my life where as most people have only picked one and stuck with it. I'd say I don't lean to one extreme or the other like some. I try and keep my views on the whole subject level headed and free of fearmongering and sensationalism. But when you see people on both sides argue this subject you really start to realize just how little either side understands it as a whole despite them claiming they do. Okay too much rambling that's enough of this dumb shit lol

We got real lucky last winter. There were some insane torches just to our west, especially around Christmas.

Yeah probably needs to be widespread

Isnt 32 a freeze? I thought they stopped issuing warnings after the 1st freeze. But if only a few locations in a county got to 32, they probably still issue them until the majority of the county gets to 32. 36 here at 1150

Currently 47 in Kearny, nj. Should be a chilly one at 6am.

I’d take your climo in a heartbeat. First one to hit 50° in a cutter too. Highly jealous.

Are you any good? What did you shoot? I’m only asking because playing a round would be fun, but I’m terrible.

At least I don't get downsloped, but I'm prone to subsidence when the coast gets ocean enhancement...that's why I hate frigid storms, not to mention I like pasty snow.

Thank you, I try to share what I learn in my courses with the forum to pass it forward. Also, it's nice that you're learning all that stuff. If you ever have questions about the global climate response piece I can help you with that (carbon cycle wise I've lost most of that knowledge post AP environmental science in Junior year). While learning the concepts might not (but hopefully does) feel interesting they lay the groundwork for understanding the atmosphere as a dynamic system. I don't know what you plan to major in (you have a lot of years to figure that out, if you want to go to college that is) but if it's related to atmospheric science/environmental science you will thank yourself for paying attention now. I understand your feeling on this but I truly believe that most everyone in this subforum is capable of understanding the math behind our climate; after all, it's a mix of algebra and the most basics of calculus alongside understanding some concepts (those being the solar constant, albedo effect, and greenhouse gas effect). However, some very influential people have a strong vested interest in creating a reality where that equation is wrong. I do not blame the people for believing in that reality - no one wants to be wrong after all. That said, if there is one thing that my social psychology class has taught me it is that attitude change requires the ability to admit you're wrong which is a very difficult thing for people to do. The people who don't believe in climate change aren't stupid, they aren't evil, and they aren't backwards. They are humans. Yes, humans who are wrong on the issue, and yes humans who actions cause real harm, but you aren't ever going to change their minds by pretending they are somehow below you. If you truly care about changing other peoples minds then you need to put aside malice and extend empathy towards them with how you explain the concept. Ultimately, we are all extremely susceptible creatures to outside influences and the only way we can really understand one another is through seeing people as people and not a walking conglomeration of ideas. If you are one of the posters who disagree with me on climate change I want to say two things directly to you. 1. Thank you for reading this far. 2. Think about who benefits from a world where climate change doesn't exist. Think about how much political power and influence those groups have to loose if climate action occurs. Think about if those groups truly have your best intentions at heart of if they are trying to use you as a voting block to hold onto their power. Just think about it for a minute or two the next time year hear/read an anti-climate change ad or paper - and think about where the money for that ad came from. If you can't tell this moral goes beyond climate change for me.

NAO probably won’t save us with a pac like that. But if we get something (like a strat warming or -AO) to buckle that pac jet and allow cold air to get down here, we could time it with a STJ wave and that’s how we score big.
