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)

…12,000 years ago it sailed. Humans evolved 200,000 yrs ago, and the planet was pretty cold! Lots of ‘96 analogs in there.

Yeah and its like how should we reconcile that? WAS the Euro good? Was it right?

A smidge over 9 inches here in central Westchester with this thing winding down. I'll take a storm like this one anytime. Siggy snow but my life will be normal by tomorrow. Maybe we can freshen this up in the next week and have some pack around. Nice!

Measured 9 even just now.

It's going to be a photo finish at the wire for 1 foot here in Mt Pleasant. I'll go measure but I think we are over 9 ATT. This is fabulous.

I have all of that already and more north of HPN in Hawthorne. I could get to a foot. NWS says 5 to 9 for today, which brings me to possibly 13. Anything over 10 and I'm thrilled but already happy with it.

Not entirely fair…yesterday the Euro utterly shit the bed while the GFS held steady. That was less than 24 hrs ago. Yesterdays 12z Euro hardly looks anything like the storm happening outside now. A fail like that inside 24 hrs is more than a blemish.

My wsw is for 6. I have 4 OTG, and NWS forecasting 4 to 8 more on point and click.

My point and click still has 7 to 13 in mid Westchester. Warning was lowered to 6. We won’t touch either. I suspect the update at like 3 am, waiting until the 0z suite rolls in to confirm everything.

The New England melt is reaching a fever pitch. I think some will be melting in this forum right through tomorrow. These moves are dramatic for this late in the game.

Nam for sure bumped SE. The 287 crew loses out this one.

Lets enjoy the wintry weather through the weekend, then call it a season. This winter stinks.

Maybe the seasonal trend will kick this thing back north. Oh wait.

South and weaker on TTB - but doesn't *look* as dramatic south as the Euro through hr18.

Can say the same for the Ukie

Also I thought the Ukie scores pretty well - comparable to the GFS. 2 top models in agreement is more than spooky.

It's hard to discount the Euro wholesale. It's been south a couple of times over the last few days of model cycles only to recover northerly. On those occasions, the EPS held steady. THIS time the EPS followed suit south. THAT concerns me.

GFS just jacked me. Fapulous.

Fap.

Solid gfs run. Axis of heavy snow jacks NW.
