  1. Well done Kevin and thank you, KLW for the forum publication. I look at my postage stamp differently now. As always ...
  2. Models or Moderators? As always......
  3. After the last delightful almost eight months, I’m just worried about what’s next. As always ......
  4. Frightening, BW. I’ve saved this and intend to pass it on. Is an event of this magnitude possible in our eastern metropolitan coastal areas. It looked like a summary execution by an angry atmosphere. As always .....
  5. I remember those years. A little over 26 inches in 1965. The churches were offering special prayers for ran. Houses with Accessible yards in my Brooklyn neighborhoods were having wells dug. Trying to do that In the city today would probably be a permit nightmare. In my present Brooklyn area, even if my postage stamp was accessible, the NYC Landmarks hysterical society board would deny my request because the ground was historical.. As always ....
  6. You cannot be faulted. I feel you must be able to care for yourself before you can care for another. You must be able to love yourself before you can effectively love another. My daughters are both educators, one in public pre- K and one in private special needs. Both are fearful and have voiced their concerns exactly as you have. The DOE’s seem in many cases to be out of touch with our reality. My daughter shared the opening plan with me. I see it at best unworkable, at worst dangerous. The classroom is a front line also. Perhaps it’s time to pay heed to the trench warriors. . As always ...
  7. Conceptually and demonstrably a cold month in the NNE. Still, being out side of even the meteorological defined winter, it would have to be a below normal late fall month. As always ...
  8. Considering, as a group, they have been going strong for over 300 million years, that’s quite a compliment. As always......
  9. I’m not up on the growth of commercial soybean or corm. I would imagine, individual farmers would not likely be insured for such an event. Perhaps some can be salvaged. The atmosphere cares not for us or our works. An applicable, well said, line in regard to our climate may just be “as ye sow .......... and as always ......
  10. Thank you Tip, that will keep me busy for a bit. Also as a closet bloviator I try to stay away from legumes and broccoli. As always ....
  11. Magnificent. Are those summer look ski trails in on the distant mountainside? I can almost feel the fresh and refreshing breeze. To experience and live it, well I’ll have to wait for the next life cycle, if indeed one exists. As always ....
  12. Tip, at my stage of the circle, your post are better for me than a sudoku puzzle. My thanks, as always .....
  13. It looks like the fingerprint of Isaias left at the crime scene. As always.....
  14. If WW007 did so his work will have taken a Kevorkian twist. As always ....
  15. For that H V you will have to research the work of Immanuel Velikovsky. He wrote a tome “Worlds In Collision” 70 years ago it caused quite a stir. It is said that at the time of his death, Albert Einstein had a copy of Velikovkys work on his desk. As always......
  16. Darn it WW 007, I’m slow. It just dawned on me that your avatar has nothing to do with a powdered sugar D & D. In reference to your Reaping A+++ game, with the way things are going, you might be better off recruiting an assistant, to handle all the volunteers. As always ....
  17. The only weather name I appreciated and enjoyed was written/composed by Lerner and Loewe. “They call the wind Maria”. As always ....
  18. I did a quick check. The name is of Hebrew origin and means “God is my judge”. After looking at the radar representation of what was approaching Chicago, the name seems well placed. As always ...
  19. Well, we have S19 to throw a reality damper on snow threats. Maybe he can morph into a warm season version H19 and do the same for tropical threats. Anthony will be there, for the joust, regardless of the season and our good Moderators can still keep the limit to five. (I know Irish, I need to get away from the postage stamp more often). As always ......
  20. For the sometimes snowless five boroughs it’s the anticipation of the first event. It seems even a chance of snow flurries can be hyped to biblical proportions. Our city’s reaction is also an over or under proposition. At times the depth of the salt will surpass the depth of the event. Other times everyone is screaming for the spreader. What is Usually left, in our UHI paradise, is a slush shovel Festival before the inevitable overnight freeze. I enjoy hearing the squealing laughter of the young ones playing in whatever falls. If I’m fortunate and the frozen precipitation continues Into the daylight hours I wander into my postage stamp, standing alone and pondering all my loses. I look up to the shrouded grey sky and wait for a flake to touch my face and melt. When that happens everything, for me, becomes good again. As always ....
  21. Your request/point is well placed. Mr. Roebling’s proposal was accepted based on his reputation and demonstrated ability to build suspension bridges across the Niagara Gorge and the Ohio River. The only impact study took place when PT Barnum drove 21 elephants across the bridge to prove its stability. Shovels and brooms took care of the elephants impact. As always ...
  22. Thank you for the article and the “explore further” articles. The articles were written for understanding by the literate non technical/professional individual. I qualify beautifully. What troubles me is the word prediction. Will the literate individual take it literally? I guess it depends on who is selling vs track record. Will the prediction be direct or couched. I enjoy Dons sensitivity analysis. Would it take that form? Can the atmosphere really be simulated for prediction? Thank you again, BW, for the article and for having to read a seniors contrary questions. As always ....
  23. Tier studies costing millions. So many projects that seem to make sense but go no where. The subway link between Brooklyn and SI. The north shore link between Ct and LI. The 2nd Ave subway, a century in the making and probably not finished in my lifetime. Billy S said it best “ What fools these mortals be”. As always .....
