Easily in the movie industry “typhoon Tip staring in the New atmospheric, climatological pre sequel thriller, The Day Before Tomorrow” I know, i know, read more post less. As always .....

If any of your descendants happen by this post, as they return from wintering on the Florida archipelago, they may remember the profound words of Shakespeare “ Many a true word is said in jest”. As always .....

Thank you, Don, for another difficult read. It’s ironic, I was watching the 2004 disaster movie, Day After Tomorrow, when I opened the link. I’m an old man with zero skills in the atmospheric sciences. I do remember hearing a simple explanation of a storm/weather extreme as the atmosphere seeking a balance. The atmosphere cares not for our politics or our debate. I fear that with or without us the balance will be sought, executed and achieved. As always .....

Rectal? As always ....

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 ...

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......

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 ......

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 ....

A day of reckoning eventually comes for all of us. As always .......

I imagine the implications may become personal for many when the task of pumping and sandbagging become every day tasks. As always ....

By 2050 my postage stamp will be part of a wetlands area. Considering the Greenland and Antarctica conditions, the finger in the dyke mentality may have already gone on too long. Thank you, Don, as always .....

An article was sent to me recently about the heat related death of a USPS mounted delivery carrier on July 6th, 2018. The late carriers name was Peggy Frank. The incident took place in the Los Angela’s area during a 3 digit heat wave. At that time much of the aging fleet of vehicles had no air conditioning. The main plants and associate offices are air conditioned, for the most part. Not sure at this time if vehicleS have been upgraded. I always viewed the heat and cold index as a common sense guide. Thank you for the article. I hope an acceptable guideline can be reached soon. As always ....

The way things are going in metro, even if my NYC borough made a successful steal, the evidence would be gone by the next day. As always ....

Well stated. Everything gets a name including winter storms. Pretty soon T storms of varying intensity will be named. Just think of a weather alert announcing “take cover, Chip and Dale” approaching NYC Metro, As always .....

Julian, 140 or so years ago when the postage stamp came into existence, the water source for the house was a well. At the back of the stamp was a small house over another well that was there for deposits only. At that time ‘Brook’ lyn still had them free flowing. If you walked a few hundred feet beyond the block of the new row houses you could probably still see deer and the antelope playing. Today with indoor plumbing and Tap water. I am left with a postage stamp that is a home to horny squirrels or as I lovingly call them bushy tailed tree rats, a family of raccoons who got into and trashed the third floor apartment. Incidentally I believe they’re seeking reparations because the diseased oak they used to den in, I had taken down last year. Then there are the felines, both outside and in who are above it all and feel their entitled anyway. That leaves me which is probably good enough justification for all I’ve just described. Stay well (sorry for the pun) Julian, it could be worse. As always....

Yesterday, I thought it was finally raining on the postage stamp. Instead it was the damn A/C, on the floor above me, having a pissing fit. As always .....

Draw a line through the middle and the direction is obvious and for the last few years seems to be accelerating. To use the words of an often maligned, sometimes controversial Professional Meteorologist and part time Philosopher. “ The Trend Is Your Friend”. As always ....

Dry wit is the best medicine. Be well. As always ......

Not so H2O. It’s the overlay of the capital A that gives that illusion in the photo. Your legs, however, would definitely make some of the girls jealous. As always ....

With the weight of the ‘MOD’ balanced precariously on your shoulders, you can’t always be good. As always ......

My my such intensity. You full name must be Mappy F5 Tornado. No wonder everyone behave in the M A. As always ....

Last I heard, he was just 26. Based on his avatars expression, perhaps that should be taken with a grain of salt. No matter even If you are older, H2O and your plumbing is still good, you’ve beaten the odds, well done. As always ....

Your mother is an amazing person. Your mom is able to create, use and internalize her own positive energy. May I ask how long your parents have been married? When you take stock of yourself I’m sure you are thankful for their successful recipe. May their partnership set a record for longevity. As always ....

And her loving compassion for those in greatest and deserving need. May all be and remain well with you and your family. As always.....
