They've had many more since, I wonder if something really big is in the offing, or if we've seen that already with the 7.7?

By the way, there was a 7.7 earthquake in the Caribbean felt from Miami to Cuba to Jamaica.... WOW!

I get those kinds of allergies like once a week lol. It needs to be dry or snowy for me not to be on antihistamines. We have weeds and daffodils around here.

It is lol... still I'm hoping for an early summer because my allergies get really bad in rainy/mild weather. Very warm to hot and not humid is far better for my health. We have weeds growing here and there are daffodils coming up out of the ground. So for me not to be medicated on antihistamines I have to have cold/snow or cold/dry or warm to hot and dry.

Oh I was wondering because so many talk about the gulf stream and how it fuels our storms and yet it passes 150 miles SE of Montauk so if it was just that then the storms should get weaker farther north.

Not that different from their map for Jan 2016 ;-)

I printed this snowfall report out and put it on a plaque which I now hang on my wall lol. NYC/JFK AIRPORT 30.5 100 AM 1/24 FAA OBSERVER

Wow that was their Feb 1978! Is it common for that area to get clobbered when we have a mild winter down here? Why are these storms much more common up there than they are at our latitude, Chris? Also, see my post about 30"+ events at coastal locations at sea level.

How many coastal/sea level locations have gotten 30"+ from a single event? The only official locations I can think of are Cape May 34" in Feb 1899, PHL in Jan 1996 and JFK in Jan 2016! I think Cape Cod got 30"+ in Jan 2005, but I dont know if that was an official measuring location (meaning airport or park lol.) Come to think of it, the Brookhaven NWS office may have gotten 30" in Feb 2013......

one of them is supposedly a "doctor" lol- although he was the guy trying to temper down the enthusiasm a bit

lol you should have watched the guys on TWC talking about a major pattern change, they said there is not enough cold air around for the storm next weekend (7 days out) but there will be for the one after that (14 days out) and the one after that (21 days out.) LMAO

when the sea ice up there is doing well our winters suck. so i vote for more sea ice loss up there so we can actually have a real winter down here.

I actually dont watch any of them for news. Since I was in grade school, all I've ever watched is PBS for news, they always provide the most in depth level of coverage from everything from politics to the environment. I find them absolutely amazing (ditto for their documentaries.) BBC America is up there too.

Go a bit further to the southwest and you'll get a better place to live in Halifax, NS. Good snowfall climo AND a good night life. Underrated spot for chasing tropical cyclones too.

Hopefully a lot safer than it was in the days of Three Mile Island and Shoreham. We also need to include the possibility of nuclear reactors as military/terrorist targets. That's one reason I would not put nuclear reactors near big cities.

I originally thought that way also, but I've seen that wind and solar are both less expensive than fossil fuels now, so they should probably be transitioning over too. That would improve their air pollution problems quite a bit. I'd throw nuclear in there also if I was confident that developing countries could properly safeguard nuclear reactors.....

having loved burgers for years (and only quitting them because of my health), I can understand that sentiment!

it's more of a problem in the developing world, in the developed world we've already lowered the birth rate to around 2 per family. You said no one calls out China and India, I've already called out India and China for their reliance on coal (as well as Australia) and they definitely have a population density as well as air pollution problem.

the popularity of almond milk, coconut milk, avocado milk, etc., probably has a lot to do with it- consider how many commercials you see for those and none for dairy milk (I still remember the old days with the "Got Milk" commercials, you dont see them anymore.) Starbucks has also switched to plant-based milk.

and plastic pollution as well as the way land is used as well overfishing (for marine problems) and other factors.

right, and they are brainwashed and dont even know it.

They already stated that climate change is the greatest national security threat the world faces.

https://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2011/06/13/losing-our-coral-reefs/ Many causes, most of them human “Coral bleaching is caused by global warming, full stop,” said Terry Hughes, lead author of a new studyon coral bleaching. The researchers found that bleaching events have increased from one every 25 to 30 years in the early 1980s to an average of one every six years since 2010. While coral reefs can recover from bleaching if given 10 to 15 years for their algae communities to recover, the increasing frequency of bleaching events means that many reefs may never be able to. In addition, the 22 million tons of carbon dioxide our oceans absorb every day are changing the chemistry of seawater and increasing acidification. Today, coral reefs are experiencing more acidity than they have at any time in the last 400,000 years. Acidification reduces the water’s carrying capacity for calcium carbonate that corals need to build their skeletons. Even a small decrease in the coral’s ability to construct its skeleton can leave it vulnerable to erosion. Some reefs have already begun to dissolve and it’s estimated that by 2050, only 15 percent of coral reefs will have enough calcium carbonate for adequate growth. One study showed that ocean acidification profoundly alters coral reef ecosystems. As C02 levels rise and acidification increases, the biodiversity of coral reefs drops, resulting in the elimination of key species needed for healthy reef formation. “The decline of the structurally complex corals means the reef will be much simpler and there will be less habitat for the hundreds of thousands of species we associate with today’s coral reefs,” said Katherina Fabricius, a scientist at the Australian Institute of Marine Science.

Indeed- outside of sports, there is no reason to ever watch them. Murdoch has quite the checkered history.
