    it was even worse in 2001-02.....I never read anything JB said after that catastrophe.

    March 1990 was ours, mid to upper 80s in March and then a one inch snowfall in April!
  3. LibertyBell
    Yea... 1998 was frustrating. We went through the entire winter with only 0.5 inches of snow and then got a meaningless 5" of glop on the first day of spring that melted in 6 hours!
  4. LibertyBell
    You can get snow in April too, but that doesn't mean it isn't spring. In March 1990 we were in the mid to upper 80s and then we had one inch of snow in early April.
  5. LibertyBell
    70s? No- more like 80s, similar to March 1990
  6. LibertyBell
    Don, what kind of March do you think we'll have? Others were bringing up March 2012 as an analog, that was pretty mild for us (but not as warm as it was in the Midwest?)

    looks like the heaviest snow is where we're going eclipse chasing in 2024! I just hope there's no snow there in April that year.

    although with weather like this going on, it makes one wish that we could control the weather and change the outcome. But I doubt that even when that finally becomes doable that the people in charge would even consider altering the weather to make it snow more along the east coast/megalopolis. If you want snow move to lake effect country, it snows there regardless of the pattern!

    it was 40-50 inches from Queens county on east across Long Island, I'd call it a B- winter but only because of the extreme warmth in December, aside from that it was a B+ Getting a 30 inch snowstorm here was amazing- I may never see that again.

    gas company is going to pay $3 million for faulty gas lines that sparked massive fires near Boston

    well NYC did have the rare below zero low on Valentines Day. We had other heavy snow events besides the big blockbuster though, one of those brought down a crane in the city. It was JFK's 40 inch / 40 degree winter

    anecdotally I feel that dry summers often follow winters like this

    what frustrates me is that we've been talking about controllable fusion since the 80s....we've had so many technological advances in so many fields since then, why is it taking so long to develop viable fusion reactors?

    2050 sounds about right. I think most are getting more worried about the Antarctic because of the implications of a rapid ice melt there. My question is- do we really need an outlier winter like this to get ice growth in the Arctic regions? Very few winters are going to have a + AO like this winter has had.
  15. LibertyBell
    February is right up there too

    melting of the antarctic ice sheet can cause a quick sea level rise in 10-20 years

    thanks Don, and it also makes business sense because it's the fastest growing sector of the job market. Not to mention the savings in health care costs. Whats going on with Wells Fargo? I know they were recently fined $3 billion for that scam they were running from 2002-2016 (opening fake bank accts and charging customers interest) and their former CEO got banned from the financial industry), but in regards to energy, have they also moved away from funding the fossil fuel industry?

    maybe there's a different way to read that article- do you have an account there? anyway, I could see where both could be true, where what happened during the 1700s had a different cause from what's going on now. I'd love to read that piece too.

    nuclear power can work but they need to do a far better job than Japan did with Fukushima. and why is switching to Fusion taking so long? we've been talking about it for 40 years now. Maybe we need to start genetically modifying humans to make them smarter so they can do this faster.

    just look at what's been occurring in the middle of the country, in states like Iowa and Nebraska, farms there have been underwater for two years running. They're losing billions of dollars because they cant grow crops anymore.
  21. LibertyBell
    well, even if you dont subscribe to anthropogenic climate change, there are many other reasons to stop using fossil fuels, chief among them the health impact they have in urban areas, rising rates of asthma, etc. There has been a civic movement in east coast cities like Providence, RI, to move factories that use fossil fuels out of their cities because of breathing problems people living there have from them. So moving onto a new source of fuel is beneficial for health along with economic reasons.

    the lowest temp for Greenland is actually -89 which occurred on the Summit research station on top of their ice cap back in the 80s.
  24. LibertyBell
    it has to do with the unprecedented type of weather that has been occurring on a large scale. Looks like Russia loves it because they're about to open Siberia for farming and will be feeding the world since America's bread basket will become unviable for farming.

    that makes no sense when renewable fuels represent the fastest growing economies and sectors of the job market. At some point you have to move on from the old.
