  1. I always say if you don’t like the cost of a product or the way a corporation does things, the simplest solution is don’t buy the product from that company. Consumers are enabled in this regard. Simple. Their power is the money, and that is the enabling power that the consumers actually hold.
  2. He took a lot of gruff for that and well deserved. That is whats in the top photo, but he was more dramatic in the video.
  3. Seems a little silly they would mention sea level rise in 30 year terms as though it is some new phenomenon. It's been rising for 4,000 years at a rate of 1 foot for every 100 hundred years. Below is the measurement from the Battery, downtown Manhattan. The measurement from 1920 to 2020 is right on the money.
  4. The move here is to shop around, keep looking, talking about getting one, checking reviews, and then do NOT actually buy one. Then you will be kicking yourself in April because you didn’t buy one, and it snowed like hell all season. Thats the winning formula.
  5. I like when a storm transforms the landscape. So when we have nothing but brown and gray ground, and suddenly a storm comes in and drops 6 inches, it looks amazing out in short order. So I don’t need pack. It makes a 6 inch storm more exciting when there is nothing on the ground vs. when you already have a few inches down. I’ll take it, but I don't need it. Level 99 big dogs are awesome of course, but honestly one or 2 days later when the snow has blown off the trees and the streets are cleared and black (or white with salt), I don’t care about the snow storm anymore. The model watching is over, the radar watching is over, the nowcasting is over, the snow falling is over, the HWO and warnings are off…Its like all the fun party guests left already. Now, the snowpack guy can stay as long as he wants, but, you know, its just him now.
  6. Doesn’t look too convincing either way. I don’t look at those and sharpen my snow shovels.
  7. Losing Aaron Rodgers on the first series is the most Jets thing ever. And losing to the Jets with no Rodgers is the most Bills thing ever.
  8. Sandy was well modeled 8 days out, never mind hinted at!
  9. Snow in Idaho! Brrrrr indeed!
  10. I think 30 years is good for weather norms. Thats a generation or so. What people lived through and experienced in their memory vs. whats happening today. So this summer isn’t really anomalous. A tad cool, but not anomalous. Going back 100 years isn't practical for the average joe planning a picnic or a farmer putting in alfalfa. For Climate norms, we need to go back 10,000 years. Or more. JMHO. Figure out what ended that last ice age and then why the Holocene has been relatively warm since the last ice age, and relatively stable compared to the Pleistocene , and why sea levels have risen for the last 4000 years. Its not exactly geologic pace, but the climate over the last 14,000 years has been insane to the point where there actually are massive geologic features all over the place on account of an abrupt climate change that melted the ice sheet. Its been busy around here…relativity speaking.
  11. Met summer is going to turn out to be, what, like -.5 or something?
  12. Those high DPS in January did us in last year
  13. Only if there is an emergency landing situation.
