you need shorter wavelengths like we get in March, which is when you can have troughs on both coasts. you can still get moderate sized snowstorms in a -PNA here by then Speaking of which does anyone (Don, Uncle?) have a list of the largest snowstorms we've had in the most extreme -PNA and which month they happened in? That would be very useful.

the plastics are inside us too-- microplastics have been found in our urine and blood and there's mounting evidence that they are toxic. Logically we always knew they would be, it just took some time for the evidence to come in. Also pesticides like chlorpyrifos, which damages brains of children. It's banned in NY, CA, HI but not in other states yet.

not humans-- the mass extinction is of almost every non-domesticated species on the planet, half the species that exist now will be extinct by 2100, including pollinators, our usage of pesticides and fertilizers, etc. The Monarch Butterfly is about to go on the endangered list

why can't we get that kind of heat here? we don't even have any blocking

yeah this is sickening, truly sickening

at the same time it's more than just temperatures. It's the mass extinction event now underway, destroying our forests, toxic pollution, and extreme weather events like floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc, all on a rapid increase. We need to emphasize everything.

either way it's a new record

depends on what is meant by destinies....I believe in superdeterminism, John, all futures coexist because they've all happened already, we just haven't reached that part yet. Like a movie that has already been completed, but we are just characters in the story who have no idea it's already ended or how it ends or which of the many possible superpositioned timelines we are in.

when does the -PNA actually promote a trough on the east coast? March?

all patterns are gradient patterns, it just depends on how far north the gradient is

well someone somewhere usually gets the big snows, I dont think there has ever been a winter where the entire continent is snowless lol

I woke up sweating in the middle of the night lol

Since we were talking about quantum mechanics earlier, I figured I'd post where the cutting edge of research is right now, at the Institute of Advanced Studies in NJ. https://www.quantamagazine.org/one-labs-quest-to-build-space-time-out-of-quantum-particles-20210907/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-space-and-time-could-be-a-quantum-error-correcting-code-20190103/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/20130917-a-jewel-at-the-heart-of-quantum-physics/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/physicists-discover-geometry-underlying-particle-physics-20130917 https://www.quantamagazine.org/there-are-no-laws-of-physics-theres-only-the-landscape-20180604/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/quantum-entanglement-drives-the-arrow-of-time-scientists-say-20140416/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/nima-arkani-hamed-and-the-future-of-physics-20150922/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-our-universe-could-emerge-as-a-hologram-20190221/ Also the end of the black hole information paradox, which is unexpected to say the least https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-most-famous-paradox-in-physics-nears-its-end-20201029/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/netta-engelhardt-has-escaped-hawkings-black-hole-paradox-20210823/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/hologram-within-a-hologram-hints-at-solution-to-black-hole-information-paradox-20191119/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/one-labs-quest-to-build-space-time-out-of-quantum-particles-20210907/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-space-and-time-could-be-a-quantum-error-correcting-code-20190103/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/20130917-a-jewel-at-the-heart-of-quantum-physics/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/physicists-discover-geometry-underlying-particle-physics-20130917 https://www.quantamagazine.org/there-are-no-laws-of-physics-theres-only-the-landscape-20180604/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/quantum-entanglement-drives-the-arrow-of-time-scientists-say-20140416/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/nima-arkani-hamed-and-the-future-of-physics-20150922/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-our-universe-could-emerge-as-a-hologram-20190221/ Also the end of the black hole information paradox, which is unexpected to say the least https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-most-famous-paradox-in-physics-nears-its-end-20201029/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/netta-engelhardt-has-escaped-hawkings-black-hole-paradox-20210823/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/hologram-within-a-hologram-hints-at-solution-to-black-hole-information-paradox-20191119/

except in March when you can have a trough on both coasts. any ideas what's causing this weird -PNA extreme?

why are the Atlantic SST so warm? Is the Atlantic in its "el nino" phase?

any chance we'll get into the 70s at any point this month like we did in Dec 2015?

How come you never post JFK but you post EWR, which isn't even in our state, Chris I strongly suspect that 5" number in late March 1998 was an overmeasurement at Central Park-- no one else got that kind of snow. What were JFK's totals for the 4 month period DJFM?

yeah it can 33 and rain is MUCH WORSE, if it's not going to snow it should be in the 60s

meh 60s and sunny is a lot better than 40s and rain, I say keep it warm until it can actually snow around here

97-98 was super annoying because we were about to set a new low snowfall record and a surprise nuisance storm in late March ruined it

the 80s were MUCH worse and so were the 70s outside of 77-78

I thought you guys also got it at the end of November when we did? We had nada here this time but the one at the end of last month covered car tops and roofs

got nada here as far as I can tell we got our slushy coating at the end of November lol

hmmm didn't see any here at all
