Nah they’re fine and manageable . Just follow the budget your advisor has for you . This should all be factored in and planned for .

To me, Superstorm of 93 kind of kicked off the snowy epoch that followed. Also got me interested in meteorology.

75 and gorgeous here today. Need this on the weekend please.

FWIW, they chose not to take on case not because of the merit of the case but because of how close it is to the election and the difficulties in implementing. Red and blue states were against the measure for this very reason.

We pray. Heating costs through the roof, literally.

Typo. Fixed it . I’ll say 3

lmao You should have seen how far off it was Days 1-5

Here bluewave posted this in another thread

Many normal live streams in the Valley are dry.

DJF? I’ll say 0

I think the US record is 6038dm or something like that.. imagine challenging it in mid-September, and not even over the most favorable zone SW, US

Chuck, I’m thinking that the reason the 2m anomalies aren’t as impressive as the H5 anomalies is probably that there’s a lot of Atlantic origin moist and cooler air in the 2m mix as opposed to drier and hotter land based air. Opinions?

Are we really getting such a large 500mb ridge? Surface temps aren't as impressive as H5. That's actually not too far away from the all time US record. I wonder if we are shattering mid-Sept US record?

Super duper gorgeous. First nice “fall” day.

How many days will you get above that this winter though ? Several at least .

Ideally it should be done between Augdewst 25- Septorcher 5. But you can still do it this week . With the warm fall coming it will still germinate and establish at least a weak root system . Cowboys will be fine . It takes time for a new DC and defense to gel and click . It’s coming .

https://x.com/nwsneworleans/status/2099932997273129304?s=46&t=nTdsbQZkQMPkUI3zGjAXJg Also backside weak cold front from nws New Orleans .

Today’s weather is at minimum a 9/10.
