It’s snowing heavily here in Trumbull!?!? Had no idea this was a possibility

I have a toro from around 1988 - starts with a single pill.

Same - on the way to 33!!!! Oh man that was pure magic.

"they're real ... and they're fantastic"

I did a day while in Banff decades ago. All day above tree line in feet and feet of snow, it was way over our heads so we had to be careful not to fall off our sleds.

My reading. I saw that this actually orbited the globe twice and they may upgrade VEI to 5Tonga.pdf

I saw a VEI of 4 and 60,000 feet

You see the satellite view? You can see the massive shock wave - it visibly almost gets to New Zealand. The power required for that is insane. I think I saw a VEI of 4 but I wouldn’t be surprised if they move that up.

How do you think blocking will play a role? I watched a couple of my go to Youtube guys (Hall and POW) and they talked up the blocking.

I have that. Very similar but with a sound of wind. My wife has a friend that gets very bad attacks and has to lay down on the floor when they happen.

Inner ear - I have this thing called Miniers (not sure of spelling but pronounced min-years). It was the same symptoms along with a sound of rushing wind and whistling in my ears. It came on like someone hit me over the head with a board and then went away over the course of about 20 minutes.

I remember a Novy storm with thunder snow in Easton CT. I remember looking out my window as the lightening lit up the heavy snow. A bunch of white pines lost limbs on the Merritt also. I think that was 86 because I remember driving to a dead end street to drink beer with my buddies and I graduated high school in 87. I think we go nearly a foot of thick, heavy cement that froze for the next few days.

Do we know of any chasers going in to this beast?

I truly hope you're right as I am scheduling 36 holes of golf on the cape for the weekend.

I will say that I have had the 'healthiest' (in quotes due to the fact that I am referring strictly to physical - mental health is a different story due to isolation) years of my life. Not one cold or sinus infection. I'll take the chance of colds and what night to have the social fabric of my life back though!!!!!

I saw a story "Stop the Sanitizing Theater" a few weeks back - it got into how ineffective all these spray down approaches are, and into how C - 19 doesn't really last on most surfaces and even the ones that it 'lasts' on it is way shorter then originally feared. I also saw a story last year, just prior to CoVid being a thing, in that there are new viruses that are becoming exposed as the ice sheets retreat. Cue James Cameron and Sigourney Weaver - 'Aliens - Freezofftheus' - in theaters Christmas 2022. (I tried to come up with a cheeky title - fail)

Yes. I am in SW CT and my folks are on Cape Cod near Nauset Beach.

Where are you located?

This is a cool chart. https://volcano.si.edu/faq/index.cfm?question=eruptionsbyyear

Sinabung in Sumatra.

I mean the one from last week - Synabong or something like that. I don't have the active volcano page open.

I thought it was stronger than that. How about the one in the Phillippines?

The one at 2:38 - that's the type. I think that's in the Philippines. Singigong or something like that.

And you need the ash cloud to get up above 40,000 to really do anything as well so eruptions like that unpronounceable one in Iceland don't do anything, nor the new one in Africa that started today (I forget the name but the lave can flow as fast as 40 MPH).

Now wait. LAST YEAR. I follow the volcano thing and there are by far more volcanoes going currently - Sufrierre, Etna, Several in Central America and Africa. The ones near the equator are the ones that will effect climate/weather.
