  1. we need to go with our (now) regular climate patterns. I find it very hard to believe we wont get to 70 sometime between next week and the the start of astronomical winter and also at some point later during the winter.
  2. Oh well, I'm counting it as 80 because it hit 80 here, JFK is hotter than LGA on a downslope wind so I'm a bit suspicious of yesterday's numbers there
  3. it's the limbic system, specifically the hypothalamus, the most primitive part of our brains where greed, fear, anger, all of that comes from. The interesting aspect of what you mentioned is that the civil rights movement and the environment movement are allies and grew up together, after all minorities are the ones who suffered and continue to suffer the most from pollution caused by fossil fuels. The most toxic output usually ends up being dumped in the urban areas.
  4. you only need the pattern to change for a few days to get a snowstorm.....so we had 40/40 both in 2015-16 and 2016-17? How close was 2005-06 to that?
  5. 2005-06 was a torch winter where we got 40" of snow and it was a La Nina too
  6. snowfall totals are completely unpredictable no matter how warm the winter as a whole is
  7. a lot of la ninas in this list with both a lot of snow and very little snow
  8. its wonderful, I hate shivering in October more than just about anything
  9. omg JFK got so close to 80! what happened? there was no sea breeze they should've made it! what was JFK's record? I have my fan on lol. Another chance tomorrow?
  10. had accumulating snow in both November and April in 1995-96 that was awesome
  11. He's probably thinking of Feb 2013
  12. Jan 2016 was the greatest snowfall of my life, I will take that again and dont care about anything else
  13. is this volcano in the Canary Is going to have any affect on the climate?
  14. its very easy for the fossil fuel cartels to brainwash people in these low information states, some decisions need to be hard wired into the system and beyond the minds of voters and politicians, remember what I said about benevolent dictatorships.
  15. they need the snow and cold a lot more than we do, they need to build up the snow pack out west, let's hope it gets down to Flagstaff and Tahoe, etc.
  16. Thanks Don! Did it get into the 40s at JFK this morning? By the time I woke up it was already 52 lol
  17. It needs to be added to the constitution and be made permanent
  18. It is considered the rarest rainbow of them all. https://www.boredpanda.com/rare-quadruple-rainbow-double-rainbow-amanda-curtis-long-island-ny/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic Yesterday, a woman in Long Island, NY named Amanda Curtis was lucky enough to capture the rarest rainbow of them all – a quadruple rainbow. Her incredibly rare photo, and the excitement it inspired among commenters when it went viral, called to mind the viral ‘Double Rainbow’ video by Paul Vasquez. According to meteorologists, what Curtis actually saw was a double-double rainbow, but that doesn’t make it any less magical. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) research meteorologist Paul Neiman told the Washington Post that the second double rainbow resulted from the sun’s light reflecting off of a nearby body of water; “a large glassy-smooth water surface is required behind the observer. This smooth water surface reflects the sun, such that a second solar light source is generated. This reflected sun […] creates a second primary and secondary rainbow on the opposite side of the sky from the sun.”
  19. wow huge difference between Central Park and JFK.....foliage again?
  20. Beautiful Don! I have heard because of the number of prismatic surfaces available near bodies of water, near places like the Long Island Sound you can actually see quadruple rainbows! (Two double rainbows!)
  21. Yeah especially after seeing that sparking and hearing popping noises I dont think I'm using that one anymore. I used the other one for a bit because it was only smoking in the beginning (I think dust is trapped in it which also caused the slight burning smell), but that went away after a few minutes, but I will get the one that was recommended and I just shut that one down for the night. My bedroom is warm enough now anyway (I had it on from 3 to 8 PM)
  22. ps we also need to dramatically scale back animal farming and land use
