    If humans or its resulting AI civilization doesn't extinguish / destroy itself, it is hypothetically possible that some sentient intelligence will be able to control the planet's weather at some point in the distant future. However, in the shorter term, it is likely unachievable from an macro engineering scale and far more realistic that we merely take better actions to protect coastal communities and advance their preparedness. I mean, that is if you even give any credence or thoughts to the Kardashev scale. Your thoughts dovetail mine. In addition to the Kardashev scale, I think it's logical that this type of geoengineering will be a prerequisite before we can colonize other worlds (for example, Mars.) Some of the techniques developed to do that there may also be applied here (which seems to often be the case with developments from our space program.) Much more reasonable within our lifetimes though would be protecting our coastal communities and better preparing them. I see that cities near the water are developing safeguards against excessive flooding (both from the ocean and from the sky), some of which involves promoting a natural flood plain (like Houston) or creating checks on rising sea levels to prevent them from flooding cities (for example Miami, Charleston and even NYC.)

    you'd think they'd mention snow to mix to more snow as being more likely if they were indeed going to go that route like we had back in December. According to the graphics posted, this looks to track further offshore than the Dec storm.

    wow I cant think of any matching that description either....might have to go back to the early part of the century. I'd like to see someone do a detailed analysis of the strange storm that happened in Feb 1920 and lasted for 3 days.

    could be that the highest amounts are between Wilmington and NYC but away from the coast.

    https://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=vertically stacked system Vertically Stacked System A low-pressure system, usually a closed low or cutoff low, which is not tilted with height, i.e., located similarly at all levels of the atmosphere. Such systems typically are weakening and are slow-moving, and are less likely to produce severe weather than tilted systems. However, cold pools aloft associated with vertically-stacked systems may enhance instability enough to produce severe weather. http://lukemweather.blogspot.com/2011/09/stacked-low.html https://stormtrack.org/community/threads/vertically-stacked-low.17344/ https://www.extremestorms.com.au/glossary/vertically-stacked-system/ A low-pressure system, usually a closed low or cutoff low, which is not tilted with height, i.e., located similarly at all levels of the atmosphere. These are my favorite types of storms, something special about vertical stacking that satisfies the perfectionist in me.

    right this actually reminds me of the February 1994 events. Although what is and isn't a KU event can be open to interpretation.... I imagine by KU event you mean NESIS 3 and higher?

    perhaps beyond the scope of this discussion but do you think science will ever advance to the point where we can control these monsters or at the very least find some kind of mechanical release to cool down SST (or create shear) to lessen the impact of these beasts?
  8. LibertyBell
    well hopefully this gets vertically stacked and the track of the mid level low becomes a nonfactor
  9. LibertyBell
    what are the chances this gets vertically stacked?
  10. LibertyBell
    can owls catch covid from people?
  11. LibertyBell
    yeah this is exactly why a slight southward trend is better right now. Get it about 100 miles southeast of NYC.
  12. LibertyBell
    it's better to have a slight southward shift at this range
  13. LibertyBell
    to be honest a dry slot is better, like with the December storm, before it could mix the dry slot came in.
  14. LibertyBell
    was that the storm that caused the tragic crane accident in Manhattan?
  15. LibertyBell
    hmm March 2018? I was thinking of that too.....which also brings in March 1956. Wasn't that a la nina storm also?
  16. LibertyBell
    in addition to temps, high winds will keep ratios lower
  17. LibertyBell
    what would you compare this to, Chris? Feb 1920, Feb 1961, Dec 1992, late Feb 2010, or Jan 2016?
  18. LibertyBell
    sounds somewhat like February 1961
  19. LibertyBell
    15-16 was very similar to 82-83 but even more extreme (in both directions!) In that case, perhaps we can say that climate change caused the greater extremes? 17-18 seems similar to that but with the opposite signal.
  20. LibertyBell
    wow 1996 had two 7+
  21. LibertyBell
    I love owls! Have you seen the piece about climate change causing color confusion among animals that change color in the winter?
  22. LibertyBell
    didn't you have a couple of analogs that included bookend winters?
  23. LibertyBell
    from what I've seen it looks like rain and sleet would only be around for a short time, Don? as the storm pushes east and stalls out it should be all snow
  24. LibertyBell
    this honestly sounds a lot like December, it wouldn't be the first time a pattern returns.
  25. LibertyBell
    there's also a difference between a gradient pattern in December vs one in the heart of winter.
