A Moonlit Sky

Who cares what the GFS shows? It’s an abysmal, horrible model

So are your posts--people still look at them all the same. Tracking storms is half the fun of November-April. Savor the hunt.

Nothin' like a whole forum of adults passive-aggressively arguing about what color their leaves are relative to others.

Who moves to NH and thinks they're gonna need AC halfway through October?

Yeah, I personally enjoy those clear and crisp days in the upper 40s/lower 50s with a breeze while watching the leaves fall or strolling through some pumpkin patch/corn maze/apple cider fest thing. 

Yeah October and November are my favorite months and losing their signature weather bums me out. It connects me with my childhood when we moved from NY to CT and the seasonal changes came earlier. The weather and the New England architecture and Halloween stuff seemed super exotic to me then. Loved it ever since.

Having no transition weather is boring and there's more to weather in the world than personal comfort.

I'd be happy with seasonable. Or, at the very least, less humidity.

It's New Hampshire: it was either a meth lab or someone tried to levy a tax.

October is probably my favorite month but a lot of that is tied to the weather: leaves turning, 40s at night with the window open and moonlight with a light breeze. This sort of October gets me pretty down.

National day of mourning declared for Cole's career post-Spider Tack.

Embarrassing Yankees game to end an embarrassing season.

A least someone in New England does. Seems many up here should just move south and get it over with.

You don't even need to go to FL. At my place in MD it will be 50-60 degrees and sunny most of December and then again by mid-February onwards most years.

Nah, it's October. Time to bring the chill.

I'm not feelin' it yet with the Red Sox.   I've seen nothing over the last two weeks that outright indicates they are proficient against play-off contenders - they've amassed and still are amassing wins off teams that are not.   Which they should win those games ...so yeah as far as that goes. But this thing over the weekend?  don't get caught up in it.  The Nationals should have been swept but actually ...one can argue the games were closer than they should have been...

Boy have I got some good news for you about the Yankees.

Is it really? That doesn't sound right.

October is one of our sunniest months. But it's worth noting that the tri-state centered on the NYC metro is sunnier than the the rest of the area at large.

Sorry, a clown like button for posts.

I think we need a clown emoji.

Shame we got the least fun wildcard outcome yesterday. I was hoping for four-way-tie chaos baseball. Instead
the Yankees fell backward into a Boston-Yankees wildcard game. Dull.

It's been raining all night and all day but you can really notice the changes in the foliage just since Friday. It's like someone flipped a switch.

Even though Arctic seas ice has been on the decline, so far this season it is higher than previous seasons and higher than the 2010s average. The question is will it continue or is it just an aberration.

Yes, but it's lower than the average for each decade prior to the 2010s. Sea ice has declined decade over decade since at least the 1980s.

Did my selection of Connecticut and Other mess up the poll? I spend my time in both because of grad school.

Good morning Liberty and thank you again for kicking my between the ears into first gear. I’ve always been fascinated by existence/life beyond what we know. We will always be constrained by Alberts, described, breaks of relativity unless we can discover  how black hole rotation can do it. Or perhaps we can find, on Mars, Prothean artifacts that will give us the technology to develop mass relays. ( thank you PS4/XBOX ). If you embrace the faith/spiritual you may see the constraints as a necessary intelligently designed playpen until such time as we are matured enough to mix/contribute. if you espouse secular science and continuously seek prove/disprove you may see our existence as a proof that sentience pushes you forward at the expense/destruction of our own source. I have to find and re-read Uncles idea now. Now I’m waiting for my penance to start working. If it’s too slow I’ll start reading the news. Thank you again. As always …..

I personally think that faith and science compliment each other. For this reason, I have great respect for the Jesuits. But, I am very pessimistic about our ability to venture out into the universe in any big way for the foreseeable future. I want to--I've read so much classic scifi--but there are so many horrific problems to solve for humans to be able to live in space or on a planet like Mars. It's probably easier for us to "solve" climate change than it is to make Mars work.

34, split my time between locations for now.

Remember Bloomberg just before Sandy hit? We were burning up the weather forums back then, thinking what his he talking about.

All Bloomberg ever cared about was what real estate developers thought. He was a barrier before the storm and he was a barrier after the storm.

Louisiana has obliterated like 2,000 square miles of wetlands over the years which would help with storm surge and flooding.

I envy the ability to decide what kind of weather I want and to then experience it regardless of what's actually happening outside.

What’s up with the 49th by Albany in June?

It wasn't that warm up here honestly.
