Autos contribute about 10% of CO2 emissions. The big killer has always been fossil fueled electric generation which to me has a certain irony to it. Interestingly, China builds a half dozen or more coal fired electric plants each year. They also like hydro - much to the dismay of their often water starved neighbors. We need to go on the Chinese weather forums and complain there if we want to do any good. I’m sure Ji will get on board. on the weather front, these cold rainers…can we get a cutter please? There’s never one around when you need it. And when we don’t want them it is the only guest to show up to the party. PS I have a ram 2500. Love it.

So we got solar spring, met spring and real spring?

This guy was photographed in central park last year:

Never give up, Anthony. Honestly if you ever did quit on cold and snow, I would call emergency services for a welfare check to see what happened to you.

Let's punt that look to December 2024 and get the season off on the right foot.

It can hardly be worse. Worse could be less snow and cold sure - but maybe more mild days to open the windows and go for a walk in a t shirt. It could only worse to a point, and then some positives develop with warmth. Lets see if we can mean revert a bit and get a normal winter in 25.

Yeah I have had a moss explosion on my north facing hill and shaded areas. I thought moss was slow lol. I have a significant gravel patch, like a Japanese-style garden and the moss is coming up through the stones. Kill it now you say? Chemicals or something?

The last time people humped the warm icon I got 9 inches of snow and the GFS outperformed it and everything else including the euro when it shit itself inside of 48 hrs.

MT Tolland? Thats a lot even for them!

Get on a plane. Hurry tho.

I can't even do that much math but that's like up to 16' of snow. We need an astro physics person to add that up.

in other news, and this is nuts, check out NWS Tahoe: URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Reno NV 101 PM PST Thu Feb 29 2024 CAZ072-NVZ002-012330- /O.CON.KREV.BZ.W.0001.000000T0000Z-240303T1800Z/ Greater Lake Tahoe Area- Including the cities of Stateline, Markleeville, Incline Village, Tahoe City, Glenbrook, Truckee, and South Lake Tahoe 101 PM PST Thu Feb 29 2024 ...BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM PST SUNDAY... * WHAT...Blizzard conditions likely, particularly from Friday evening through Saturday morning. Snow accumulations between 3 and 6 feet for Lake Tahoe communities, with 6 to 10 feet above 7000 feet. Winds gusting to 70 mph in lower elevations and above 115 mph over Sierra ridges. * WHERE...Greater Lake Tahoe Area. * WHEN...Until 10 AM PST Sunday. * IMPACTS...Whiteout conditions with near zero visibility at times due to blowing snow. The strong winds and weight of snow on tree limbs may down power lines and could cause sporadic power outages. Whiteout conditions are expected and will make travel treacherous and potentially life-threatening 4 day long BLIZZARD warning? Even for them!

We need more options

He cracked the egg

Bro I am so done with this winter. Tell you what - if there is a big LE event in Buffalo or the Tug next November or December, I'm going. fugit.

After this Winter they should make you a mod and slap a met tag on you.

I’m sure it felt like a half mile.

Also MJO.

When a threat busts the thread devolves for a few pages before people stop posting altogether. The mods don’t lock threads on dead topics here.

Holy shit a weather post in this thread! I thought I’d never see one again.

Explains why their snow measurements were so wrong. Everyone knows Chesapeake cant’t measure anything, much less snow!

Man my 1200 needed scratchers almost no matter what. Probably one reason that engine is gone.

Further to this, warm periods in human history tend to coincide with periods of prosperity. Interestingly and not unsurprisingly, we are in a relative period of prosperity going by population growth. If humankind had to choose between a warming climate and a cooling one, and I mean humans across the eons, most humans would choose warming. Most of human (talking homo sapiens sapiens here) history was cooler/cold compared to now with significant ice age periods. There is 1 period in human history where temps were as warm or warmer than now, about 125,000 years ago. I'm not saying CC is a good thing or anything, I'm just saying other options aren't as 'good' for prosperity. I don't see a lot of climate periods that are just flatline temps for long periods. I think humans will adapt to the new climate regime and ultimately reduce carbon emissions over the next 100 years, but the cost of removing carbon will basically make that a non starter. A lot of carbon emissions are the result of heating in the northern climes, so maybe defacto we need less of that. My heating bills are lower - though my heat is carbon neutral.

Well I am enjoying trying to figure out which emoji to slap this post with, which is more fun than most of this winter.

It's pretty cold: Anchorage sets new record low as dangerous cold sticks around (alaskasnewssource.com)
