    We're not Kardashev level one- we are at around 0.72. I imagine what we are going through now is childsplay compared to the upheaval that will occur when we are on the threshold of being a Level 1- if we even make it to that point. Probably around 2100 as you say and I do envision a Post-Matrix reality like you described. People must learn to think for themselves and live without relying on the pollution causing framework that's been a characteristic of the 20th century. Truer words were never written or spoken: "The only winning move is, not to play."

    Loved that this happened https://twitter.com/i/events/1446527968159969284 Yesterday The U.N. declares access to a clean environment a human right 'This has life-changing potential in a world where the global environmental crisis causes more than nine million premature deaths every year,' said David Boyd, U.N. special rapporteur on human rights and the environment. The US UK China India didn't want this, but they are the major polluters of the planet so they have a major conflict of interest and they got voted down by the rest of the planet!

    I guess tropical season is winding down, Tony- nothing showing up in the next couple of weeks at least?

    in November 1993 it happened on November 15th, the day after the marathon. Earlier that month we had had extensive and widespread freezes in the first few days of November (temps in the upper 20s here with thick frost.) I forecasted a big winter that year because I saw a connection between hot summers and early cold falls with a big thaw in the middle of November and cold and snowy winters. It was 6/6 since 1950 with the last time it happening being in 1977 until 1993 showed up.

    yep we're adjusting, but I can tell you this-- even back in the early 90s I didn't enjoy highs in the mid 50s and lows in the lower 40s which we seemed to get every year somewhere in the first half of October. I was shivering and my parents had a hard and fast rule back then to never turn on the heat no matter how cold it was, before October 15th (I'm not sure why they picked that date.)

    it's a pretty inexact science and it seems like where the mixing line is going to be is one of the more inexact aspects of it. I've learned that when they expect the mixing line to be in Monmouth county to expect it to reach the southern parts of LI 90% of the time.

    40s at night with windows open would make me shiver all night! Even low 50s at night is too cool for me. Let's keep the cold weather away until November when we turn our heat on.

    I heard that Newark hit 80 yesterday
  9. LibertyBell
    Yeah and it's just as well, the really short days dont kick in until November anyway
  10. LibertyBell
    This is a good thing right? I hate shivering in October
  11. LibertyBell
    chilly or cold weather isn't coming before early November, the models rush pattern changes, we're probably good through at least Halloween
  12. LibertyBell
    cool weather will come after Halloween, probably not before

    either douse the entire area with pesticides or chop the trees down and make the bugs starve. we need to do one or the other
  14. LibertyBell
    why dont we just chop these trees down and make the bugs starve to death?
  15. LibertyBell
    whats the reluctance with killing these things with pesticides? I dont care, fly crop dusters over us for all I care and tell people to stay inside

    our higher snowfall totals and larger storms are direct results of more juiced up systems plus a storm track that used to be further south and hitting DC now hitting us. I distinctly remember a large number of storms back in the 80s that would hit DC with snow and spare us- these often happened in January. Now we get some of our biggest snows in January, this was not the case before, January used to be colder and drier even during our snowless 80s winters.

    Yes! Best day of the week!

    All I can say is I would never live there.

    the good thing about sunshine right now is that a warm day is welcome right now

    60s during the day with rain feels too chilly to me although I know it's near normal.

    we could get the wandering spider which sometimes gets in via banana imports. Really dont want those Those can stand up on two legs and chase people around and have the most painful bite of any spider

    Yeah they'll get rid of the mosquitoes, but it's a horror show to have them in your house. I sleep with my bedroom lights on as it is. And if I see something crawling on my walls I can't sleep at all. I have read that some of these critters can actually get inside your mouth or ears and lay eggs in there? If these things are coming from exotic countries why can't we just ban products from those countries until they control these pests themselves and keep them from coming here?
