    yes my favorite kind of weather-- except for some reason we dont have a west wind here?
  2. LibertyBell
    I dont believe it, temps usually overperform

    Protest against your employer instead of doing everything you are told to do.

    I remember seeing this map with correlations, with the midatlantic being warmer with a -NAO and new england being warmer with a +NAO and we were in between (that is much less of a correlation, at least during the spring and summer.) 2010 was definitely our warmest spring and summer on record going by 90 degree days and several years in the 90s were right behind-- specifically 1991 and 1993 as well as 1999 and 2002. 1983 was another one that was extremely hot with number of 90 degree days.

    2010 was definitely the hottest on record, but 1991, 1993, 1999 and 2002 came in right after that. 1983 held the record before that.

    the 1990s were much hotter and drier dude, compare this spring to spring 1991 in New York City that was one of the hottest summers too, along with 1993 and 2010. Check out maximum length of heatwaves 1990s vs now. Specifically between 1991-2002.

    it's because of lower humidity and much drier air back then I loved that climate, I hate high rainfall and lower high temps.
  8. LibertyBell
    There is a reason why this is happening-- it's raining much more now than it did back then. The extreme amount of rainfall and high soil moisture is the reason why high temperatures are being blunted-- I hate it! I love high heat and low rainfall and low humidity.
  9. LibertyBell
    Yes this is why action has been delayed. It's very similar to what happened with PFOA and the sugar cartels too.

    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!
  12. LibertyBell
    High of (edit) 79 here about 5 miles east of JFK
  13. LibertyBell
    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.
  19. LibertyBell
    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.
  20. LibertyBell
    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!
  23. LibertyBell
    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?
  24. LibertyBell
    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!
