78Blizzard

Exactly. And I have seen no pertinent comment that answers it other than snark.

How do scientists explicitly account for urban heat when measuring Earth's global temperature to ensure that local heat islands do not skew data on global climate trends?

I live 11 miles sw of Boston and the high for these 2 days has been 97. Comparing Boston temperatures to the 40's ignores the massive heat island effect of all those skyscrapers built since then.

Definitely having brownouts in this area today. We have window air conditioners in the living room and the bedrooms upstairs, and apparently the living room and one of the bedrooms are on the same electrical circuit as they shut off twice today. We have lived in this house for over 45 years and never had this happen. The work around was to find a bedroom outlet not on the same circuit and use the heavy duty extension to keep them both running.

High was 96 yesterday and 97 today. Now 96. But those GFS maps a day ago were showing 100+ for both days here, Friday, too. Tomorrow will be similar to today. Just your normal summer heat wave, nothing abnormal from a climate standpoint. If the Euro is right, Tuesday you might need a sweater or jacket on the golf course. And an umbrella.

The Weather Company and Atmospheric G2 project a cooler-than-average late summer for the Great Lakes and Northeast, with all 3 months cooler than normal Jul-Sep. This is the opposite of what NOAA has for the Northeast.

This is now the 3rd time in the past month or so that the GFS has shown 100+F temps. The Euro isn't biting with a strong high out west, which it's been showing for several runs now. I think we need another GFS rewrite. It's such a warmista.

NOAA missed the boat on their winter temp prediction around these parts, as well as other areas around the country. I put little faith in these predictions. https://www.weather.gov/arx/winter2526outlook

I don't know all the models that go into the NBM, but given the projections from the GFS, Euro, and other standard models which appear to have missed the mark by a substantial amount, perhaps we should start looking at some of these other models, especially for storms like this.

Reports have come in that Providence has received 34 inches. Something doesn't add up here, or you were in a hole.

ARW cut qpf here from 1.99" to 1.27" as of 0z 2/24.

Yeah, they did. And after taking 3 hours to drive home and actually make it, which is normally a half hour ride, I needed the rest. If I didn't take the back roads home instead of my usual ride on route 128, I would have been one of the thousands stranded there. And i got stuck a couple of times and was lucky to make it home. So yeah, I know the outside existed.

I slept soundly during the blizzard of '78. There was no internet to check, and thus no meso models to get updated.

Doesn't that include some from Wed and Fri?
