Nice work

Bro that indeed sucks. I’ve had 2 brushes with it down here, one back in June. Both times i got hit with em just around the neighborhood dog walking. I saw the ticks when I had a ring going, and both times I got it in time with a 2 weeks of doxie. No lyme symptons developed so far since. I think if you can still see the rash and you get drugs you could be alright? Someone else can confirm. I am not a dr.

Start a thread in this forum. Call it local impacts of climate change. I got no problem with that. It’s a great tropic. I’d read it so would everyone else. Tom Dick and Harry type daily weather events discussion belongs here. Rain next week, dry pattern this month, ice storm, hurricane, that sort of thing. All that stuff should be here. Septembers getting warmer over the years, warm anomalies increasing in February over the years should be there. That way you can be quantitative and say Septembers are getting warmer and heres the data. Example: If it’s modeled to be 89 on September 12, that is a pattern development for the September thread. You don’t want to say it’s hot on September 12 because of climate change if it turns out it’s 41 on September 14th. Wouldn’t want to say climate change has reversed in 2 days. This is conflating 2 dynamics. All good my friend.

My user name is a character in a movie, who is pictured in my sig. I go to the climate change thread all the time. You should check it out.

Theres a whole forum for that. Thats a great place to discuss 30 year averages all over the place, not just here. You could link those discussions here anytime. Too many posts here about a warm day or a string of warm days this year are the fault of man made global warming especially this year, when we have 1 really above normal month since December. It’s just thin gruel in the context of the weather. global climate writ large, thats the right place because this is a hot year on a global scale. It’s just not that hot here this year in extremis over the last 40. So lets keep it to weather.

The worst of winter is us sobbing over the inland runners and cutters.

You beat MJO to it, but I think even he is skeptical. I’m thinking of buying a snowmobile again. If that happens we’re fucked. You can set your watch to that.

Ya’ll need to check out this moonrise. Came up red AF. Coolest moonrise I ever saw. Hurry tho

Best fuel for molotov cocktails is diesel. Spreads flames and doesn’t explode in your face as soon as you light it. if you only have gasoline, and alternative method is to get some styrofoam and mix it with the gas until you get kind of slurry/gelatin. This is essentially napalm - well lets just call it for what it is: its actual Napalm. Don’t get it on you. It is sticky af. You cannot put it out either until its done burning. I think there is enough O in the styrofoam to keep it going even submerged. Very nasty but effective. It also will not explode as easily if mixed properly, so safer than molotov with gas (if safety is a priority). I would reserve these remedies for only the most stubborn wasps. Basic brake cleaner is super effective without even lighting it! Go with that first.

Earliest heat wave is Feb 2020.

Does that mean we revert to colder anomaly or does it mean less hot anomaly but still hot anomaly? We need the northpac to cool off obviously but until I see the blues of its hues in current pac ssts anomaly, don’t know if that map means much.

My lawn is toasted. Straw. I threw in the towel already.

Both parties have issues will alternative energy. The right doesn’t like renewables and the left doesn’t like nuclear. So don’t make this about politics. That forum got spiked for a reason.

Brown coal in China. Rural China reeks of coal. I’d say 200 mm rural Chinese rely on coal to cook. Still.

That was real WTF situation. I ran out the house. Today was mild - felt it tho. Could have been a truck in my mind I suppose but these go on for like 10 seconds. we need a quake thread if this keeps up

My son reported feeling it HPN

Canadian forests are massive. Like, some of the largest on the planet, maybe even compare to the south american rainforests. Forest management on a continental scale literally. Fires are not new either.

Someone with the best seat in the house…

Parts unknown…shawagunks sunset tonight.

No rain. 71 here.

Mines open now. Just humid here.

Eh…I’m not sure we get much at this stage. I just fearlessly walked the dog without an umbrella. It’s a bit humid is all. Not over yet, but this isn’t our show.

Reflectivity

It’s here raining but the heavy stuff is north and south, and the south stuff is hitting a wall it appears and won’t get up here even on an ene heading.
