North and West

Happens every year like clockwork 

Like the swallows at Capistrano


.

Are we going for a record Cancel Winter posting on Halloween?


.

Somerville and new brunswick hit 100 this summer. Ewr 5 days in a row in July

EWR hits 100° if the sun rises in July.

Nice ridging out west. Would help pump up the PNA ridge. 

.

Beautiful 

As I am an idiot, what does this mean?


.

Beautiful 

It would have been, but the dynamics are always different in the winter.


.

my heart goes out to all the tomatoes getting planted this week

ALWAYS too early. Always. It happens every year.

Mother’s Day is my yardstick for tomatoes and peppers.


.

I heard it’s cold and snowy at home.


.

Aruba?!?!?

Miami.


.

Any clarity on timing, say like 6:40 am and you’re on a plane and trying to take off?


.

Is there a timing here for the onset? Especially the wind? We’re supposed to fly out of EWR at 6:30 Saturday morning.


.

Scientists say it's too late to stop climate catastrophe, we need to learn to adapt and live with the consequences of our actions.

Price we pay for the modern conveniences we love.


.

I’m flying out of EWR to MIA at 6:30 Saturday Morning. Can I seal out before this comes in?


.

.

 

Right by me; can confirm. This is the WMTR/WDHA broadcast.


.

Yeah this is not great right now.

I wish I was Normal and didn’t care about the weather 

This should be the motto of this forum.

capitalism is why we haven't had all three winter months come in below average in 21 years

Socialist industrialist economies haven’t been too kind to the planet either, sooo…


.

Capitalism is flawed, but it is the best system there and has helped the most amount of people out of poverty.  The alternative is Russia, China, Cuba...

it’s the best system we have for allocating limited resources while incentivizing production.

I think the main argument you could have is whether you want capitalism with a strong welfare state or a weak welfare state. Both have their pluses and minuses, and it’s my personal opinion that it’s disingenuous to think otherwise. Everything has shades of grey.

Probably a discussion for a different banter thread.


.

My town doesn’t even have a turf football field yet. Only hs in Morris county that doesn’t  have one .  That may change this year though I hope 

Really? I live here and are you sure?


.

Don’t know what you guys are talking about , my daughter who played softball  graduated in 2020 and 2 of those years snow was on the field until way into late  March. One of those years she didn’t have1  practice outside and Had a game before an outdoor practice because the team we played had a turf field and they plowed it lol 

Well, there you go. Grass fields take a while.


.

thats a good idea, I see that the city has some plans to do this by 2030 with 30% more green, and the extra benefit is more healthy, fresh food.
 

If you literally want to put your money where your mouth is, here’s one I’ve been invested in for about 20 years or so (there are others like this, but just for the full disclosure): https://www.morningstar.com/funds/xnas/vftax/quote

“Because of its fossil-fuel screen, the portfolio currently has no exposure to energy stocks.”
