    Thats why I said I would cap all hurricanes to Cat 1 and all tornadoes to EF1, up to then it's fun and rare.... anything past 1.... no thank you, Florida can handle it a lot better than we can.

    79 here now, it's really nice!

    High of (edit) 79 here about 5 miles east of JFK

    It got close to 80 here too.

    It makes me cringe to see all those homes destroyed. It's best when it happens out in the middle of empty land, then we can admire it from a distance. I don't like lightning either-- it has destroyed expensive electronics for me in the past. I love all other types of weather, extreme heat, extreme cold, extreme precip totals (rain or snow or ice) and hurricanes too-- because by the time they get up here they are at most Cat 1. If I lived in Florida I wouldn't be a fan of hurricanes either. F1 tornadoes are okay.

    It makes me wonder why anyone would ever want to live in that part of the country. I have zero interest in severe weather and never want to see anything like this happen. We live in a good place for getting very little severe weather and no tornadoes that are stronger than EF2.

    I wonder why -NAO are now much more likely in Spring in a solar maximum year rather than in winter? Next winter looks like it will lack blocking for all intents and purposes just like this winter has and the one before it, but why are we getting these blocks in Spring now which did not happen in the 1990s? If you look at solar maximums from the 1990s, like 1991, we had a positive NAO for most of the year so every month was well above normal (22 out of 24 above normal months.)

    This is the first thing we need to learn to control, the amount of moisture in our atmosphere. H2O is a much more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2 so we should be looking for ways to dry out the air and vent that moisture into space.

    But was the reason for the extreme blocking the same as what we had in 1916-17? And has such extreme blocking always been historically rare, or is it only this rare in our new climate OR is it that in our new climate we need this kind of extreme blocking to get very high snowfall totals? Getting at least 50" of seasonal snowfall seems to require it.

    Yes that's the one 2010-11 was compared to 1916-17 Interesting that 1917-18 was historically cold but 1916-17 was snowier. Although both were great winters in their own right.

    On the plus side, my allergies have gotten much less over the past week-- I think because most of the things that cause allergies have already blossomed or bloomed.

    I was told transformers exploded because of the rain. When it stopped raining around 3 AM the power fluctuations stopped. The low humming also finally stopped. The infrastructure around here is really bad. There's a motion detector light I have downstairs that's only supposed to turn on when it detects movement..... well when this happened last night, the light got permanently stuck to ON.... I have NO idea how that happened!

    Interesting thing about 2010-11 which I remember you pointed out is that it was much more like La Ninas of old back in the 1910s which were very snowy and cold-- I wonder why that winter was so much like those winters from over a century ago?

    I thought there were explosions happening inside my house because the bright white light outside was so bright it seemed like it came from inside the house. By the second and third time I knew it was outside because the entire sky lit up bright white when it happened and each time my power went out for a brief second and it messed up my cable box which needed to be rebooted and I had to manually turn my computer and TV back on. My UPS also turned off and had to be manually turned back on.

    wtf happened last night? it got downright scary here! The power went out here three times in the heavy rain between 1 AM and 2:30 AM! There were very bright flashes visible outside when the power went out each time, the entire sky turned white-- but it was not lightning! The power went out only for a second each time but scary!

    Get a different job dude

    Northerly flow is normally really good for us for nice sunny dry hot weather in the summer.
  19. LibertyBell
    I love your enso predictions but can we get a prediction on the AO and NAO,, Don, when do you think it will turn positive?
  20. LibertyBell
    so glad it's not raining here, it was sunny most of the day
  21. LibertyBell
    partly sunny
  22. LibertyBell
    you're right, here on Long Island it was mostly sunny until noon and only partly cloudy from then until 3 pm and the sun is breaking out from time to time even now.
  23. LibertyBell
    whyyyy?
  24. LibertyBell
    why is he in Rhode Island? There's so many better places to go this time of year. Have you ever seen the movie Mystic Pizza? He should take the short drive to SE CT to get some real pizza.
