    I love pianos but never owned a grand piano, it sounds like a lot to maintain lol. I love their sound though. I have an electronic piano and I download different kinds of piano sampling sounds onto it and I always pick a sampling of grand pianos because their sounds have the deepest most genuine timbre.

    SO2 balloons have already been launched, still in the testing phase, but expect this to be deployed every year starting around 2024. It's not a good thing but it is what it is. Sucks for us stargazers too, because it will make the skies more hazy and add to the light pollution issues (which also impact health and the environment) which we already have.

    Same thing in the summer, Ray. A lot of it has to do with more moisture in the air and more rainfall, which keeps overnight lows higher. The worst possible combo for me, in the summer I want dry and hot during the day and lower temps at night.

    all of this can be neutralized by computer controlled turbines that use motion detection to stop a specific fan from turning when a bird or bat approaches.

    The real issue with lithium batteries is them being highly flammable and what happens in flooding (but you shouldn't be driving in these conditions anyway.) That's why solid state batteries are much better as well as green hydrogen when it becomes available. Skyscrapers and planes are much worse for birds and we can also help them by reducing the godawful light pollution (which is a health issue for us too.)

    Thanks, when December produces no measurable snowfall, it's a strong indicator of a really low snowfall winter.

    But these wind farms are now computerized and they will shut down when a bird approaches. The planes that hit birds are far worse as are the light pollution of buildings that kill birds, you'll see thousands of dead birds at the bottom of these buildings, not to mention how bad light pollution is for our health.

    What determines where the cold air goes, Ray? And do we have any predictive power in that department?
  9. LibertyBell
    lmao oh, and here I was thinking it was a two day snowstorm with temps in the single digits haha
  10. LibertyBell
    wow what an interestingly cold 2 day snowstorm!
  11. LibertyBell
    The latest single degree low I can remember happened on 2/28/15, we missed a single digit low in March by only one day. Is this the latest single degree low we've had in at least 30 years, Don? When was the last time we had a single degree low in March? That was such an unusually cold back half of winter too. I bet 1966-67 holds the record for our latest single degree low (and latest 0 temp for Long Island, which happened in March.)
  12. LibertyBell
    it's an interesting that even just 0.8" of snow can help drop temps Larry I think number 4 should be 3.2"?
  13. LibertyBell
    Hell, a single digit low at that time would be less shocking than the -1 we had on Valentine's morning in 2016, especially after how warm the previous December was. But were those single digit lows you mentioned above-- specifically in 1958-- after snowstorms? 1957-58 is an analog for this winter, but so is 1972-73.....

    That starts Saturday
  15. LibertyBell
    Anything before Saturday would have been bonus sunshine anyway
  16. LibertyBell
    2 weeks of sunshine isn't a bad thing at all.

    This just triggered something I read last week-- are you aware that scientists are constructing artificial glaciers to replace the ones that are melting?
  18. LibertyBell
    I think most would be very happy with several 2-4" events, if we could get one every week for three weeks, that wouldn't be bad at all and some consistent snowcover over those 3 weeks. By the way, Don, what made them choose 46 days for their maps and charts? That seems like such a strange number to pick. It doesn't match any given number of weeks. I would have expected 6 weeks (42 days). edit-- is it because this is a leap month and you're doing the last 15 days of February and all 31 days of March?
  19. LibertyBell
    That was the all day whiteout, which was such an amazing storm. It does seem like having an early season storm like that increases the chances of late season snow even if there's a big thaw in between.
  20. LibertyBell
    Or even with winters with less than 6.
  21. LibertyBell
    Wild, so with less than 6" of snow through February 15, there were no outcomes that even brought us to average snowfall?
  22. LibertyBell
    I'm curious, what did we have in 2017-18 before mid February and March? I know we had a snow event in mid February that year in the middle of a mild pattern, but didn't we also have a big storm in January? For whatever reason, it seems that getting a big storm earlier in the season increases the likelihood of getting another one later in the season even if there is a long stretch of mild weather in between-- 1966-67 is another case in point (and that was in a -PNA winter too.)
  23. LibertyBell
    Wow, that looks absolutely amazing. I have to ask, how can you have a horrendous day there, even if it was only 1, with so much snow?
  24. LibertyBell
    Thanks so much for this Don..... it would be interesting to see some winter analogs and el nino analogs for how well snow seasons did when there was 3" or less of snow through the middle of February, say we make it to Valentine's Day with 3" or less of snow..

      The more you weenie, the 10x more I post and since my intelligence is maybe a quadrillion times yours, I'll make sure you'll never post again because I'll weenie whatever stupid thing you have to say and so will a bunch of other people who I've messaged about you.
