    I've seen a lot of interviews done with businesses that rely on cold weather and snow in the Midwest (particularly in Minnesota and Wisconsin) talking about how their businesses have dried up the last couple of years and they don't see it as a sustainable business anymore.

    It's interesting Don, we never heard the term "atmospheric river" back in the 80s, 90s, 00s, or even the 10s.... it only started being commonly used now. In previous decades we used to just call them Pacific coastal lows.... why is this term being used more frequently now and why don't we use this term for Atlantic coastal lows too?

    Bottom line-- the Pacific Ocean is simply too large for this planet to tolerate any huge changes to it and it controls the climate of the entire planet, so if something goes awry with it, it will alter the climate patterns of the entire planet.

    Why do multiyear la ninas happen so much more frequently than multiyear el ninos?

    Aren't we back to -AMO now Chuck? Interestingly and apart from this, we saw far fewer east coast TC in this cycle of the +AMO than we did in the last one back in the 1950s. If you look at the TC tracks, in the 50s they were mostly east coast storms and this time around it's been the gulf that's been much more active-- I wonder why.

    In climate change why wouldn't they both warm up equally, why is one part of the Pacific warming faster than the other?

    Please NEVER do this.... not even in the summer lol

    We have seen clippers, it's just that they are weak and move quickly and are moisture starved.
  9. LibertyBell
    It would be interesting to see as clippers usually dry up over the mountains and we get less than an inch from them.

    Does 2001-02 hold the record for the entire winter? It's going to be difficult to beat that one.
  11. LibertyBell
    The interesting thing is, this isn't just random or dumb luck. The winters that were already snowy like 2004-05 return to being snowy even after a warm 10 day stretch like we've having. And the winters that weren't snowy before, usually aren't snowy after that either. 2017-18 was similar, we had an early season big snowstorm, and then a mild to even warm February and then back to snowy for March and early April. Other seasons like that were 1966-67 and 1995-96.

    That was amazing and not just for us, for a huge part of the country from the Midwest to the east coast and it lasted into April for us and for all of April for the Midwest.

    If nothing wintry happens, then the pattern change will just be from rainy to dry and then back to rainy and then dry again lol. It's not even cold so we can't really say it "feels" like winter either.
  14. LibertyBell
    So this is the storm that changes the pattern.

    Going to stay awake for the 0z EURO?

    Makes sense for why it's so hard to get it below freezing around here in midwinter even on a north wind lol. February 2015 was the polar opposite of this (pun intended!)

    This is awesome but the likes of Zuckerberg would be nauseous.... But wait, what's that on their faces, those wouldn't be 3D VR goggles would it?

    I believe in a healthy society, billionaires don't exist. The simple fact is no one needs that much money and there are people who can barely survive who deserve a much more equitable society. There needs to be not just a wealth tax but a maximum wealth cap for how much a person is allowed to make and keep. The rest of that money can be used to bring up people who are barely surviving. Since the 80s our society has rapidly become more disparate. Not to mention there are people like teachers and nurses who perform a much more useful function in society who are far more important than she is and who have to take on second and third jobs because of dysfunctional society. And if I owned those teams in either Buffalo or Baltimore, I never would have allowed her to even be in those stadiums-- and as long as she stays out her obnoxious and immature fans would stay away too.

    but it should-- at least we wouldn't see her on TV if that was the case what pisses me off is that people who do literally nothing to benefit society make this kind of money.

    all billionaires, including Taylor Swift, should be taxed on both wealth and income 99% and if they dont like it-- civil asset forfeiture.
  21. LibertyBell
    wait, I actually just remembered something about this season-- did we have a big arctic shot in early April when we were in the 20s even during the day with strong winds? I remember a deep arctic shot in April with clear skies and January type temperatures but no snow....
  22. LibertyBell
    I dont remember this winter at all because both 93-94 and 95-96 were so great.
  23. LibertyBell
    the one storm that winter and yet a coastal hugger so we changed to rain
  24. LibertyBell
    I concur but I wouldn't want it getting strong. Getting a weak to moderate la nina might enhance our snowfall chances.
  25. LibertyBell
    Yes, this has been happening the last few years. We even had an SSW last year and it didn't do much for us.
