Occasional Thoughts on Climate Change
LibertyBell replied to donsutherland1's topic in Climate Change
Yeah what the hell is he talking about? My friends in Germany have told me they have not seen a single snowflake fall in Berlin and the Alps are barren of snow with only small patches in Austria and Switzerland where people are being sent to the ER because they are "skiing" on small patches of snow and getting severely injured (as in dislocated spine injuries!) On the plus side the problems they could have faced with a cold winter and fuel shortages have not materialized. -
Meh I hope we just get a trace. There is no real evidence showing anything will accumulate, the temperatures won't even be below freezing and there is no arctic air around.
-
and no native horses anywhere in the Americas
-
the climate is always changing so there is no true representation
-
January used to average below 32 degrees (so did February at one point) but now they both average well above freezing-- thus our climate is now considered subtropical (no month averaging 32 or below.)

Honesty we should have been transitioning beginning in the 80s. Why does computer tech develop so fast and these other industries don't? -
Yeah no snow days that I remember between the 80s and early 90s.
-
Yeah that's a dead industry. Literally
-
No a dumber number like 1.0 because you know he didn't even measure it, he just jotted down a number lol.
-
Let's hope the pollution doesn't hurt them.
-
Yep, those were the big ones and we appreciated them more because they were so rare.
-
Mice? We feed the cats outside to keep the mouse away 4 inches of snow would be a big deal this year like it was in the 80s and 90s.
-
Yeah fishing is quickly becoming an endangered industry.....overconsumption does that.
-
There were a few seen in Brooklyn near Greenpoint too. They're cute and highly intelligent so enjoy them while they're here. I was posting pictures of the parrots that have been nesting near my house lol. You can go swimming with the dolphins without ever leaving NYC now lol. Even in January.
-
We don't live far enough north not to get shut out at some point. This area isn't really the place to be if you want consistent snowfall, you need to be in the mountains and/or farther north (Boston to Albany at least.)
-
In my experience these "snow to rain" scenarios change to rain much more quickly than expected (with the notable exception of 1993-94 and this is not that kind of winter) and this is also coming in the middle of the day so I would expect a T at best before changing to rain.
-
What was going on in 1871 that they didn't even see a trace by 1/20 back then? Or did they not record traces back then?
-
It's weird that there aren't more Januarys in the top 10 after 2000....January has been relatively untouched by the warming climate....until now.
-
This is like a North Florida kind of winter lol
-
Never change lol. It was weird when you were gone for awhile when it finally became clear the block in December would not produce anything outside of cold and dry. It's better when someone who actually enjoys this sort of weather brings some balance to the board and forum.
-
Horrible on the allergies too!
-
I'll be happy when it's hot and dry and it stops raining. I'm fine with it being sunny every day I just can't stand a lot of rain. They are also doing some kind of pipe replacement on my block so lots of drilling and next week they will need access to my basement so I won't have any power or water for four hours next Tuesday-- oh joy!
-
Oh okay, I'm just remembering some of these storms that shadow in the Hudson Valley. We had one in December.
-
Which part is affected by shadowing?
-
3...and the best part none of the 3 changed to rain and got washed away.
