Went out side, at 8:44 am to check my 35 year old round brick hang up round Woolworth temp/humidity weather instrument. It read 18 degrees F and 57% humidity. After checking our local media organizations for the same I find out my temperature is 5 degrees below theirs and my humidity 7 to 10 % higher. My little postage stamp Hook/Hill  UHI postage stamp, as usual, disappears when it doesn’t count. As always ......

My post was sarcasm.

Considering the now above water continental shelf after the Canadian Shield glacier gets built up.NYC, if it was still there would have altitude to help it out in those marginal events. Then again with liquids precipitation in such a scenario,  being so rare, we may be tracking KU rain events. Sorry folks, I’ll stop. As always ....

I prefer Pops!    My sons range from 27-22, we both can relate how the long haul sure goes quick, days are long but years are fast, that's for sure.

Pops is my favorite followed by granddad and grandpa. So what do my grand children call me, they call me Poppy. I guess it’s cute and as I’m the last grandparent standing my daughters insist it’s perfect. Its okay except sometimes it makes me feel like a damn bagel. As always .....

the drought lingered on and off to the summer of 1966...in 1950 the city hired a rain maker in April and it snowed instead...there has and always be wild swings in the weather...maybe not as cold but wild none the less...

Unc if that’s what happened, we could use that rain maker right about now. Providing we get him an order of protection from S19 and Dr. Dews. As always ...

The most frustrating thing about winters like this is the models always show something just over there towards the end of their run. Then we discuss it for awhile only for that to then appear as snow to rain and then closer to the event mainly white rain and then plain rain. It is frustrating. Hoping to head to Vermont in February to see some ‘winter’. 

It seem, at time like this, the long range models should come embedded with A rendition of Over The Rainbow, sung beautifully by Judy Garland.  “If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow why oh why can’t I?” As always ....

I could live without it TBH. I'd have no issues moving to a milder climate if I didn't have the godawful heat in summer. Reason I didn't buy a summer place in ME, while I love it there, is the season is too short and I don't want to retire there. Splitting wood and sitting inside for months or trying to ice fish are not for me. I'm no outdoorsman, but I like to spend time on a lake or the ocean casting about. I can do that all winter not too far south from here. I would miss the snowstorms, but thems the breaks. Mulan, an old poster here who always had a comic relief effect, moved to FL a few years ago. He seemed to get used to it; the bass were biting, he said....but, FL is not for me for other reasons ( snakes, gators, land crabs....tropical heat...)

I agree with you on all points. Whichever direction you take will be the right one. When I was a young man I dreamed of owning and tending a lighthouse on the coast of Maine. My late wife and my daughters would buy me many items related to that dream. I still have a VHS tape of famous east coast lights. Now alone, I remaine with my inner city UHI blessed row house. I can still see the ocean, catch it’s scent on the breeze feel the sting of a northeast rain and even on occasion see snow. Now when the ships horn sounds,, the harbor bell rings and the guide light pulses and calls, my dream will remain but I will have waited to long to answer. As always ....

Some snow porn photos from out west in Oregon.  Mt Bachelor has had 75" this week with several more feet on the way through this weekend. 

Snowshoe hike with my dogs yesterday.  Posted a July photo of the Farewell Trail sign to show how deep it  is.  

The dogs were swimming in the deep powder.

Feels like a late spring night out there. Pansy popped today in the rocks in my yard. Sits in the sun all day. Crazy!

A wonderful photo. A definition of natural beauty. A promise for the future several months ahead. In the days/weeks to come feet of snow will cover it but still, a promise is a promise. As always .....

Under partly sunny skies that lasted until near mid-afternoon before overcast conditions developed, the temperature soared to a record 68° in New York City. Throughout the region, record high temperatures, many set in 1975 when a similar 500 mb pattern prevailed and a storm brought heavy precipitation to the Great Lakes region, were toppled.  Four photos from the New York Botanical Garden early this afternoon:

Camilla in bloom. A southern plant tha hS done quite well in my postage stamp UHI blessed yard. Although Don, mid January is a bit early for them even by souther standards. .

what's so great about snow? seriously asking. i mean i enjoy a big storm but the obsession some of you guys have is weird as hell

“Weird” by definition can be quite subjective. From bird watching/photography, to fantasy sport leagues, to golf, to casual romance, to the love of snow. The least common denominator of all harmless obsessions is pleasure and enjoyment. If that to you is, indeed, weird, you have my sympathies even though your professional skill will always have my admiration. As always ....

Ok, so lets try this. Can you explain why the models manage to show a trough over us even with no atlantic blocking, no disturbed vortex, a bad pacific, and the mjo in the warm phases? If models are only part of it, shouldnt we try to break down how the models are wrong when saying theyre wrong? 

 

Dont take offense, this isnt directed at you specifically, but one only needs to read through the monthly pages of our snowiest months to find posts saying “winter over”. Everyone blasts tony and metsfan for their at times unbelievably idiotic optimism, but plenty here do the same shit from the other side, either in a rush to be correct, or in some cases, they play debbie downer to lower their own expectations so when snow does come they create a little bubble of happiness. Lets try to at least act like we’ve been doing this hobby for long enough to sound better than grandma looking at caterpillar stripes.

Aw damn, I was trying so hard to find those caterpillars in my postage stamp this fall, so I could finally try a winter forecast. Oh well at least I have Grandma. As always......
