    Yes weatherwise, and also winter isn’t ruined yet. There is still hope for snow unlike January when everyone has chucked in the towel at least once already.

    Should have stated it's a theory - I don't know either if it is true or not.

    The coup was a sham: Wagner forces moved out of the lines in the south -> toward Moscow -> then WEST toward KYIV and are now located north of KYIV. This movement of a very large and dangerous force was done quickly, unmolested, and informationally safe under the cover the 'rebellion.' I'll note here that the Wagner forces were not obliterated in an airstrike while they were sitting ducks on a highway. The movement was too easy. The idea that Putin is weak is propagated witlessly in the media and possibly within Western intelligence services (unless they are playing along to protect their own thinking). Rather Putin has moved a set piece in a masterstroke and is firmly in command of the situation. Did Ukraine fall for it? Are they prepared to defend KYIV? Did they pull reserves from the south to cover the flank during this crisis? Hmmm....time will tell.

    Maybe no other army leaders went along (who said they would) with the rebellion and Wagner group was alone. For self preservation, Prighozen backed down. Happens in these putsch situations. People talk tough then get cold feet. Perhaps Prighozen will turn in the reluctant generals to Putin?

    Nevermind the coup is over.

    This is the third putsch in russia in my lifetime. The record of success is ‘mixed’ If this one works out, I wonder if Putin heads to exile as a guest of Ji Jinping. Maybe not. Ji would not want the hassle. He will be hard at work trying to secure relations with whoever the new boss is. As a sidenote, Belarus just became a nuclear power. This matters since I bet the brush fire spreads there and who knows what that asshole will do, especially if Putin exiles there. Lots off things to contemplate, including Putin holding on. He will be vicious in his reprisal campaign. If people take to the streets its ova for Putin. I doubt a Tiananmen replay at red square.

    It is….in the climate forum.

    Lightening struck my neighbors cherry tree 3 yrs ago. It a barrel 6 feet in diameter. Split it to the roots. I was in my home office and it sounded and felt like a bomb went off. Shook my house. I looked and saw half of it falling to the ground. Tree was detonated. I have stacks of it still - we split it up and divided it among the helpers. I do not remember seeing anything blackened. Could have done, but I didnt see it.

    NYCs air is worse than the air in Toronto - which is in the country that is on fire. Dang. I keep thinking about like Chernobyl or something where there is a radiological disaster, and this is how the radiation would propagate, only you could not see it or smell it.

    It would never be snow next, I can assure you of that.

    I got pea size hail from it.
  15. cleetussnow

    Wind really whipped up here in Westchester. I can see dark clouds to my northeast and have been hearing thunder from the same direction. I probably just experienced about a 35 MPH gust.
  17. cleetussnow
    NWS issued a SWS, said ping pong hail and 60 MPH winds here. Saw neither but we had a few boomers and flashes. Its all past HPN heading south. more later looks like.
  18. cleetussnow
    thats how its done.

    I just commented in the NY thread…I smell smoke on the breeze. The air down here is thick with haze, as bad as its been this week. Is it from Canada or is it something else? This has happened before about 13 yrs ago when Colorado was on fire so it is possible.
  20. cleetussnow
    Am I crazy or am I smelling smoke? I am pretty sure there is a light whiff of it in the air.

    I love late season snow piles. When I was a kid I would grab a couple snowballs from the last of the spring piles and throw them in the freezer for some reason I can't really recall. Prolly I was like pretending I had snow year-around since there was some in the freezer.

    I just picked up a bunch more wood pellets for this cold spell. Damn. Hate this shiz weather upcoming.

    I sprang for the mini split a couple years back. I got a 36000 btu multi head unit and it handles the house pretty much. Cheap to run. I decided also to get a heat pump water heater which is also cheap. Bonus: I have a dry basement now! I used to have wall units which sounded like helicopters and cost a lot to run. Wish i changed em out sooner.

    I have seen plenty of bears including grizzlys in Wyoming. The scene was clear to me! The bear was running down the deer. Adding that one of the 2 boys might have caught some of the action in their phones. I will try to track it down.

    Hmmm. I call BS - this is not always the case. Last August I was driving in the Catskills with an exchange student from Germany who just got to the US a day or 2 before. He was talking about how amazed at how much wilderness we have when we all spotted a big ass bear tearing up a hill toward a few deer that were feeding. I never saw anything like it. That bear was a killer. We passed by before the scene ended but I think the bear had closed enough ground to get to one when we saw it unfold. To me it was behaving. Like a Savanah lion. The German kid was freaked out. He never saw a bear in the wild much less a killer bear. Me neither in my 50 years!
