  1. Yes sea level was probably different back then too, at one point Long Island was attached to CT (you can see it from the shape of the coastline along the Sound.) Greenland ice cap melt and also the melt now observed in Antarctica may be what tips sea level rise over the edge.
  2. Funny I was using that map to look at the extreme snow drought in the Alps where it hasn't snowed much in years and people have been going to the ER for trying to ski on small patches of snow
  3. Europe ski areas have also had no snow, the Alps are barren and that's where their water comes from Those areas have not been getting much snow for a few years now.
  4. The problem with GW is all the other horrible things it is doing, our local snowfall is a minor concern. Also, it doesn't look like a geometric progression, once we reach a certain threshold, GW will rapidly accelerate (and so will sea level rise.) Those of us who live along the coast probably won't be able to live here by 2080.
  5. so the value of using these indices as predictive tools is now decreasing correct Chris? They mean something different from what they used to mean, so analogs have much lower value
  6. They should instead tell them about the ones that had to go to the hospital because of respiratory distress, including an entire family.
  7. I found it really alarming when I found out Norfolk Southern is so happy they are now allowed to make trains longer than they should be and that particular train had a nickname that made it pretty clear they knew it was a ticking time bomb. They fully deserve the incoming lawsuits.
  8. 2002 spring/summer oncoming.... and stay tuned if it turns into a winter next year similar to 2002-03 ;-)
  9. I've hit that same infuriating number three times already it hits 69.4 a few clouds move in, it falls back to 66 and then it clears up again, rinse and repeat. It's so annoying I want to put a blowtorch to my thermometer just to get it over 70 lol
  10. February has been much drier though, nice sunny and warm.
