North and West

There’s that sun angle talk I’ve missed .

I love how my dehumidifier is running in the basement to help keep moisture out after the mild rains of mid-January. .

[emoji817] I remember that Star Ledger and the Daily Record effectively canceling winter in the early 1990s. [emoji2371] .

Right. Is it happening? Absolutely. Are we now Atlanta? Ehh… I feel more and more like my dad who counseled me to have patience when I had ZERO snow days in grammar school (1987 through 1993) until the absolute last minute, March 1993. .

I’ll be honest with you: half of the stuff you just said to me sounded like the nanny in Muppet Babies. .

Additionally, putting AGW aside for a moment (not discounting it, just not having it in the conversation for the time being), this is very much like the early and late 1990s for those too young to remember. We’ve had these winters before. (Yes, I know that it’s warmer; I’m referring to the rain and then cooldown then cutter, repeat) I distinctly remember daytime thunderstorms in or around January 1991, because I remember Sam Champion going over the radar on Channel 7 on the news when I got home from grammar school. .

That’s a deep cut yet spot on. .

I love your enthusiasm. It balances out the negativity. As someone who doesn’t understand the pretty colors on the maps people share (I was told there would be no math), I always assume the actual outcome will be somewhere in the middle. .

.

Don’t forget the summer-style torrential rain! .

I mean, it’s a coin flip, so [emoji2371] .

The pool opens Memorial Day Weekend. I’m assuming 55° and rain like 2020. .

.

What the heck is WAR? Are we doing sabremetric weather now? .

.

Averages have to come from somewhere. .

After the past three years, go hug your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/kids/friends and tell them you love them and appreciate them. Then remind them the GFS is all alone with next week’s system and that they’re wrong for believing it. .

Grammar. .

I am continually unable to fathom the need to personally attack each other over things literally out of our control. .

Just my hunch this year is that if it happens (pitch a shutout in Central Park), it’s more random luck rather than AGW. Just as in snowier years are more random variables, so “good” luck. Yes, of course AGW impacts it, but it’s likely just random chance. .
