I remember this like it was yesterday but watching these videos makes it seem like it was a long time ago lol....how does that happen?

so we had two different snows in November? or was that the only one

I dont remember any snow today in 1995....the snowstorm in 1995 was before Thanksgiving

plane skidded off the runway at JFK and into the Bay on the second day of the storm when it switched back to snow and was snowing pretty heavily during the day three day storm we never got the predicted 15-20 but didnt care much when we got more than that in the Jan blizzard lol but this storm was underrated and there was still snow and ice on the ground and on the roads from this storm when we got the big blizzard

so we end up with a compromise between two different patterns, because the ridge out west would be really good for us but because of the jet trying to flatten it out the trough gets displaced northeast of us....I see why Ray was using 2007-08 as an analog lol

why the switch to ASOS anyway? The temps from the 80s and 90s were perfectly fine...if it aint broke dont "fix" it

I think people care about it less now lol. The summer 89s really piss me off. Why cant the feds come in with chainsaws and just knock down all the trees within a 30 feet radius? If they can arrest a police union leader without telling the locals they should be able to chop down a few trees.....

I think we need to get rid of these ASOS entirely, they dont measure wind accurately either and they don't properly identity precip type. The equipment we had before was perfectly fine and accurate why all this waste of money into something that isn't any more accurate? #DEFUNDASOS

November 1995 being referenced for Australia, we're going to need that kind of blocking this season

why is it so hot out west? you'd expect a big trough in the east with so much heat out in Colorado....Denver hasn't seen a single flake yet

why the mixing? I found that annoying although we still got 7 inches but LGA got 14 inches somehow and ISP had 12

didnt even see it fall but saw the coatings for about 30 min before it melted

lol thats awesome this is what it would be in the summer EWR 93 NYC 89 JFK 91 LGA 92 HPN 90

and first stickage on roofs and cars although I wasn't awake to see it fall. No way was I going to be up at 6 am lol.

Don why did this storm trend so far to the north? Remember it was originally supposed to pass south of us?

if it just sticks to roofs and cars does that count as more than a T? whatever was there when I woke up was gone shortly thereafter anyway

Yeah I woke up to seeing a coating on roofs and cars, but I woke up at 7:40 and the actual falling flakes were out of the area by then. Why did this move out so quickly? There were more flakes around 9 am but not enough to stick. What I saw on the roofs and cars was already gone 30 minutes after I woke up. Aint no way I was going to wake up at 6 am for ANY reason-- not even to see snow. Thats why I want it to snow during the day, when it can actually be seen.

Light dusting here too, I just saw it when I woke up on rooftops and cartops, why did this melt so quickly? It was gone in 30 minutes lol and then we had a few more flurries around 9 am but that's it. Mine was just a light dusting, this looks better https://twitter.com/falf0x/status/1464980746804809733

Air pollution around the world- didn't know that air pollution also increases rates of Diabetes type 2, in addition to asthma. It killed 2 million people in India in 2019 The 100 most polluted cities in the world / Twitter

NOVA from this week-- I found it really interesting because they discussed the possibility/probability based on recent evidence that the structure of the universe was actually "decided" before the Big Bang. Now that's some truly mindblowing stuff right there. So basically there was this primordial soup of particles (on the quantum scale) and they interacted with each other in certain ways, creating entangled networks (curiously the same title of the intelligent fungi article) and before the Big Bang happened, this network was already hardwired into place because the universe emerged from this cosmic soup. The implication is that other bubble universes could also emerge in the same way. And this also explains why we see fully formed galaxies so soon (200 million years) after the Big Bang. Whether it was a Big Bang or Big Bounce, the implications of a cosmic network hardwired from outside or before the universe are huge.

It's like a magical repeating symphony on various different scales that creates the splendid orchestra of nature.

I remember seeing similar networks for slime molds that resemble human architecture. Human ingenuity is a fractal representation of what nature has already done. Maybe because of this..... https://nautil.us/issue/50/emergence/the-strange-similarity-of-neuron-and-galaxy-networks

His statement is spectacularly true of fungi. Mostly, they come to our notice as mushrooms, moulds, wood-rot, infections and antibiotics but, invisibly, they are inside us and all around us. https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v43/n10/francis-gooding/from-its-myriad-tips https://paulstamets.com/mycological-strategies https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/160221-plant-science-botany-evolution-mabey-ngbooktalk There Is Such a Thing as Plant Intelligence Plants are capable of solving problems and learning from past experiences.

wow that reminds me of Cosmos- when the interconnected intelligence of the network of fungi and trees was being mentioned (mycology) https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/magazine/entangled-life-book-review-mushrooms-fungi-biology-science The magic of mushrooms forces us to rethink what intelligence means The astonishing secrets of fungal life raise profound questions
