why does snowman19 weenie everything you say?  Asking for a friend

Good late morning Blue Dream. Anthony and S19 present an interesting cold season dynamic. There would probably be less weenies if the responses were not post limited. I believe Anthony considers the source and probably doesn’t feel insulted by S19’s emoji comment. Stay well and my best to your friend. As always …..

Good morning everyone. As per D I T’s snowfall description in the New England sub forum, “Tiny weenie flakes and it’s very difficult to remain safe.” Please be careful out there. Stay well, as always …..

Unusual larger explosive event from Marapi today (not to be confused with Mt Merapi). This volcano doesn’t normally do eruptions like this, large for the volcano and notable on a yearly basis, but not large large.

Palm trees will eventually become more common around NYC in coming decades once the January average temperature gets above 36°.

https://modernfarmer.com/2018/03/will-climate-change-make-your-hometown-full-of-palm-trees-this-is-literally-a-story-about-palm-trees-its-not-a-leading-question/

But palm trees are popping up in more locations than ever before, and can serve as signposts since they can only grow in certain climates. If you’ve got a palm tree that survives year-round, that tells you something about the local climate. To learn more, researchers from Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory took a closer look at the gentle, picturesque palm tree.

Lead author Tammo Reichgelt, who has previously studied Antarctic ice melt, looked into the specific requirements of palms, and used records of more than 20,000 fossil palm records to see how palms have spread over time. Palm seedlings, in particular, are extremely sensitive to cold; palms in general cannot survive if the average temperature during the coldest month of the year is lower than 36 degrees Fahrenheit.

That need for consistently warm, or at least not consistently cold, weather is why palms are so associated with warm climates; they are hardy plants, widespread and capable of growing in both dry and wet areas in great concentration, but winter knocks them out. That said! Rising temperatures might allow palms to survive in places not ordinarily considered tropical.

Let’s take, just for example, Norfolk, Virginia and Greenville, North Carolina. As recently as the 1980s, these cities were too cold to permit palms to survive without a hefty amount of human assistance. Now, though, they’ve breached that climate border; Reichgelt’s research suggests palms could survive there now.

 

Thank you for the article BW. If I make it to the century plus mark, I’ll probably end my existence being clocked by a coconut in the postage stamp. Stay well, as always ….

Totally agree with that. I think that's why The Panic Room was such a hit. I think the analysis threads though have become unreadable (not just here) and it just makes me loathe winter tracking now. 

'Twas a good time. Retired now. Had the best nap of my life after my Thanksgiving meal. 

Hope you and yours had a great Thanksgiving as well!

NO. YOU ARE NOT RETIRED. 

You are The Reaper. You never retire. Get out there and run that Panic Room.

Or, I just might contemplate jumping.

Not because it's not going to snow in the Washington Metropolitan Region. 

It is going to snow in the Mid Atlantic.  It's gonna snow deep and many times and it will be very cold.

I might contemplate  a Jump because YOU NEED TO REAP.

Good late evening WW007, Mappy, Jebman. The Reaper may be retired but the Panic Room remains. My UHI blessed NYC was often visited for cold season reaping purposes. The Reaper wasn’t all business. With a much practiced charm, he left a bit of himself after visits. I ran into one of those bits 4 Tuesdays ago. Enjoy retirement and well done. As always …..

hey rclab i would appreciate it when you reply to me this time if you include a picture of what bird reminds you most of me.  i don't think you will say turkey despite the holiday pun and easy laugh factor.  pigeon would be too low rent.  my guess might be mockingbird if that is not conceited of me to say so

Good afternoon Anthony/Lava Rock. I sit here on 11/18 listening to a continuous FM lite holiday music station. Poignantly playing ‘Let It Snow’. I remember over a quarter century ago, my lost love decorating the outside of the row house the week before Thanksgiving. My younger daughter, who agreed with you Lava Rock, said she had to put a paper bag lover her head when she left the house. When I was very young, my father, who was always up for an axiom, would say …. “Of taste there can be no dispute” he would give me his no rebuttal look and that would be that. Be well and as always, thankful …..
