Occasional Thoughts on Climate Change
LibertyBell replied to donsutherland1's topic in Climate Change
lmao I was just reading this on Twitter. Our replacements are finally here, John! -
Right, it's very difficult not to have a 4" storm, but note that very few of those winters had 6" snowstorms and none of them had a 10" snowstorm. The same thing happened between 96-97 and 99-00
-
Or we could be back into an mid 80s to early 90s kind of pattern, which seems to be pretty stable and lasts for a decade lol
-
Is this what we had during the late 80s and early 90s that made those years suck so much? This same pattern that lasted for like 10 years lol?
-
and here we've gotten to 30-31 a few times but never any lower than that
-
why is it so hard to get any lower than this? to be fair we barely got below freezing here too
-
I have an old birdwatching/weather book with a map in it from the 40s and that refers to it as Idlewild too. How old is that airport? I take it the first data from there is from the mid 50s?
-
I thought it pretty strange that our low temps have been hanging out in the low 30s a lot, like it's some barrier we can't cross. Typically we get into the mid 20s by late November even in the city and local airports.
-
and no one wants to clear the foliage? Central Park is so huge why would it so bad if they cleared all the trees within a 30 feet radius of the equipment? Get a federal mandate to do it so they can do it over the objections of whomever is in charge of making those decisions locally. If the federal govt can come in and nab a police union leader for corruption they should be able to get a few trees knocked down.
-
why cant they just put it where it cant be accessed? Like put an electric fence around the area or something. The crime rate was really high in the 70s, the city was basically a giant slum, it's nothing like that anymore.
-
they couldnt even get todays forecast right
-
who in their right mind would steal weather equipment.....steal cars instead leave weather equipment alone it is of no value to the public
-
wtf is that headed here....42 and snowing here lol how?
-
wow any casualties with these? and what were the snowfall amounts with them?
-
I had an idea we would be in store for some good things that winter, even moreso than 1993-94 and it definitely got started quickly.
-
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
