  1. It’s not real because there’s a historically simultaneous negative/positive ENSO MJO PNA NAO PV NCAA BCS NLCS occurring all at once, precluding any chance of snow forever and ever. .
  2. You and @MJO812 are like Crowley and Aziraphale from Good Omens.
  3. Does that imply winter is canceled? (Honest question, as there are so many acronyms I can’t keep them all aligned in my head) .
  4. Doesn’t it always seem that way? .
  5. Honest question, are we going to have some shots at snow, or is this going to be like last year? Or is it too early to tell? .
  6. Regression to the mean hurts. Not even not bothering to count every other variable. .
  7. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0nRf2rPV_y/ .
  8. Can we start putting the sun angle play in as a negative? They sunsets have just started their creep towards later (sunrises don't count).
  9. I’ve been saying this for years: it’s happening, it’s silly to deny it, but it’s also a trade-off for an advancing civilization. The warming atmosphere is occurring because we’re living better and longer, and having instantaneous and near-instantaneous communication and transportation devices. How much would you give up for a more inconvenient and arguably less healthy life (e.g., mining and smelting activities help give us trains and cars and MRIs and medicines) that comes from carbon-intensive activities? I do think we’re advancing to where technology cleans excess carbon from the atmosphere and to where we have better fuels (I work in aerospace and space engineering, and there are advanced jet fuels being tested now, both for security and environmental reasons), but we’re not there just yet. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. .
  10. I’m not saying it’s not above average; I’m just talking about how it’s communicated here. Rather than “seasonably mild,” which is boring and tranquil, “torch” conveys a hellscape. .
