Can anyone give me the link that will take me where this link used to take me? It leads to Twitter now. https://ads.nipr.ac.jp/vishop.ver1/vishop-extent.html

Put our time, effort, energy, and money in making adjustments to the climate. Status quo is a no go.

The whole idea speaks to the arrogance of humans. Weve pretty much always been guided by the notion that we can mold the earth into what we want it to be instead of adapting and living in harmony with it. You could argue that it's that very notion that got us to this point in the first place.

Geoengineering is an idea that's dangerous as hell IMO. The climate status quo is a fairy tale.

Been a tough summer for you, huh?

It's called wishful thinking.

Does IAD keep stats on number of days with at least 1" snowfall? I know I've seen that data for some airports at some time in the past.

Best storm and total snowfall don't necessarily equate.

It was a lifetime storm. I never expect to see anything remotely close to it.

Was it 5" or 6"? There was beer riding on that...

Get Ian in here. This thread is a great idea.

I triple dog dare you.

I wish somebody would delete this thread

Superstorm..........no doubt.

This thread should be locked forever.

What did the Superstorm drop in Winchester? In SWVA it put down anywhere from 25-42 inches. That storm is the most incredible weather event I've ever witnessed. If you go back and read about it, the stats, the records, you just can't get over how powerful it was (2 degrees in Birmingham!!, 4 inches of snow in the Fla panhandle!! On March 13!!)

You can't have it both ways. If they happened before, who caused them. If not humans, who? If humans have both the ability to cause and stop global warming, then logic would suggest that we have the capacity to adapt to the climate, whatever it becomes. If we can't, if we aren't as smart and powerful as we think we are, then we become one of the "extinction events". You can't belong to both groups. Either we can overcome or we can't. So why worry? Maybe the Mayans were right. Mayber next year is the end. I think I'm worried.

I can understand the interest in climate change. It's science, it's physics, it's weather. Many are interested in those very things. I guess that's why we have a weather board with about 10000 members. What I can't understand is the fear. Regardless of the change, we'll adapt and so will the other life on the planet. That which does not, will die. It's not like there haven't been extinctions since life first appeared on this planet. To hear these statements of how "unliveable" the planet will be is a "head scratcher". Unliveable for whom? The guy with a house on the beach? Yeah, might be a problem for him. For cold climate animals. Yeah, might be tough for them. But for humans, who don't live very well in the cold, you'd think that warmth would be a better scenario. Wet areas that become dry would most likely be replaced by dry areas that become wetter. Regions that can't support crop growth now would be able to if it were warmer in certain areas. I love the science discussion here, but the sensationalism is a bit too much. Whatever happens, we'll adapt. Or we won't. Move on. Time waits for nobody.

Don't know if this has been posted, and I'm too anxious to start reading the hurricane threads to look, but has anyone else experienced well water issues. Mine, which before yesterday ran clear as crystal, now is cloudy. Anybody with similar experience or thoughts?

Bad sh*t happens when novices jump into the world of mathematics. For some reason that reminded me that tomorrow is the first day of school. Sounds like the DC area was pretty wild during this thing. We got a really good shake here as well. I've wonder why we're not hearing anything from the posters we have down in the Charlottesville area. Maybe I just missed them. I know this was exciting, but I'll admit that it also scared me as well.

Great news to hear that you are safe. Good luck going forward.

Does that mean that you guys know his name?

One thing that I won't do is watch a radar once a snow storm starts. Silly, I know, but if I had seen that radar at any point on that Friday night, I might have just ended it all. I didn't realize just how close that dry slot was to my area, but it never made it in here.

That water vapor shot on Wed afternoon shows the location I mentioned earlier. The pic that was posted was a visible sat shot just as the sun was setting. I actually think it was already dark on the east coast. The pic looked like it was taken from a satellite that would have been located (over) somewhere in the neighborhood of maybe the Bahamas. It was an incredible photo.

There was a picture that someone in the forums posted on Feb 3 of the storm when it was over Texas. If anyone knows the picture I'm talking about and has it, please post it. It's about the most awesome pic I've seen.
