  1. my post got deleted in the main Milton thread, but that's probably because it belongs here anyway but I didn't think so at first. Anyway, Milton's eye is like 2 miles larger than the El Reno tornado's maximum radius, which goes to show how small the eye is. Impressive hurricane.
  2. that looks like chicken of the woods. that or its jack-o-lantern mushrooms (which glow in the dark)
  3. tale of two seasons with freeze warnings in ND and excessive heat warnings for heat index values up to 118 in southern texas.
  4. A little humid this morning.
  5. speaking of palm trees, trachycarpus fortunei seems to be cold hardy down to zone 7a (0-5 F) the brighter yellow shading right along the bay is zone 8a according to this: https://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/ but it still has to be protected during an exceptionally severe cold snap this seems to be the palm tree mentioned as shown on wikipedia:
  6. Happy Thanksgiving and may everyone be blessed with endless amounts of deviled eggs. They're da bomb!
  7. I would rather take my chances with that, based on how past storms trended north as we got closer in time. It seems easier for north trends to occur rather than south trends, which we've seen many times! It's reassuring that this El Nino is legit this time, rather than the fake-out that was 2018-19. It's been too long since we've seen a proper El Nino. I was pleasantly surprised at today's ECMWF polar vortex model run, which made the PV even weaker than yesterday's run. Not to mention I was already surprised at that. The MJO seems to want to enter the COD before going into the warmer phases, and the extended euro ensemble wants to gravitate the MJO back towards the colder phases mid month. We will probably see a warmup the first week of December, but even that seems more muted now compared to a couple days ago. Encouraging signs.
  8. What's the temperature in short pump right now?
  9. Why is there sounds playing when I open this thread
  10. New burst of lightning in the SE eyewall.
  11. Not an eye. The actual center is still squarely over the island, not just off of the island.

  14. Grace is really getting her act together on visible and IR satellite.
  15. These are very impressive lightning bolts coming from this storm and it's still a few miles away. Beautiful anvils.
