  1. what is your point. For all you know they could have lived another year or 5 years or even 10 years. The fact of the matter is Covid shortened their lives and that sucks. Why does it matter that they would have died eventually from heart disease.
  2. BS that the Nina will weaken or bs on a snowy winter or both. Which one is it?
  3. Pretty cool that the season ended with a bang (literally).
  4. I really do not think you are serious are you? 12-15 inches in December and nothing the rest of the way?
  5. are there specific analogs to it being a Nina but the atmosphere looking nothing like that. If so how did we do those years? So I guess the question is are there analogs to us doing well in Nina years because the atmosphere did not respond to what was expected.
  6. Kappa is the next storm on the list. Looks like there is a good chance for "subtropical storm kappa" out in the open Atlantic. NHC currently has 30% odds through 5 days. It would be appropriate if we ended the season on Kappa to "cap off" the hurricane season.
  7. you should really reference your sources
  8. anyone know if he is okay? his last post was a little before the pandemic turned this country upside down.
  9. Maybe ill be able to study-abroad in Australia after all.
  10. it can't be retired. This has already been talked about.
  11. Greek letters don't get retired. It would be known as "ETA 2020" but the name does not get retired.
  12. I assume that means you can identify a mesovort with the radar. I would assume they used their plane radar to know when/where to exit.
  13. what makes flying through mesovorts even more dangerous than the eyewall itself?
  14. I think the argument can be made that the data is there for a low-end cat 5 at least.
  15. is an eyewall merger out of the question. Maybe the concentric band just merges with the inner eyewall and does not take over?
  16. extrapolated: 994mb .3 degrees from the eyewall. If it is sub 900mb that is one hell of a pressure gradient
