I didn't think the forecasting was that bad in the 1980s.
-
I just don't see how the trend of the last few years doesn't continue...

There are such devices. A company wanted to build a plant in Linden NJ, collect the CO2, and invite neighboring power plants to collectively pipe the CO2 to underground caverns offshore. Then, Gov. Christie, nixed the deal. Sounded pretty far fetched, but I believe there might be a similar, but smaller scale operation in the North Atlantic, somewhere between the British Iles and Norway?

One reason is the water is too cold for fog...

Graupel in Garwood, N J 20220419_183027.mp4

If this were winter...

Had some graupel a little while ago...

Yesterday's rainbow.

If this were winter, I'd be complaining about a bust and another near miss...

It almost appears that simple, however, I would assume our temps are similar to the Delmarva area 20-30 years ago? Yet I would guess the NYC metro area still averaged higher snower amounts that that area?
-
Not here. One 6" event. I guess at least we had potential to watch... -
Holy Shinto, that's it!!??? Rain changed over to snow at 9:20 AM and I was psyched for once, here comes an over performer.

Could just cut and paste this statement, story of this winter...
-
Good call. What I don't understand is how the timing on Monday was off by about 18 hours (or was it)?

It has been the federal government's responsibility to store spent nuclear fuel, long term. We know how the federal goverment does things. Still, to this day, the spent waste sits at the site where it was used. I am not anti-nuke, but there is a reason why no new nuclear facilities have been built in the US since the 1980s.

Since 1880 the average global temperature has risen 1.9° Fahrenheit. The majority of the warming has occurred since 1975, at a rate of roughly 0.15 to 0.20°C per decade. I understand the increases are not uniform throughout the globe, but the increases seem to be greater in this area than some? Of course, global warming is supposed to affect the poles at a greater scale.
-
Where do we store the spent nuclear waste, and how do we get it there? Seems Right To Know would allow transportation of nuclear waste cross country an easy terrorist target?
-
Ah yes, import more oil from Russia and the middle east...

One of the problems is that the models have a problem picking up the location of development/intensification of the low pressure. Many times, 5-7 days out, models prog storms developing or re-developing along the coast, further south. This gives us snow lovers false hope. Then the models will "cave" as the target date approaches and keeps showing development farther and farther north. This changes a forecast from a decent snow potential, to sleet, then finally, an all rain situation.
-
Freezing Rain highly unlikely for NYC and immediate surrounding suburbs, at least in any real sense. Brief snow to sleet, then rain by morning. Then again, I've probably been more wrong than right.

Even if USA stopped all greenhouse emissions tomorrow, it wouldn't put a dent in the global warming. China and India are the main contributors...
-
Capitalism is flawed, but it is the best system there and has helped the most amount of people out of poverty. The alternative is Russia, China, Cuba...

Unfortunately, energy is the backbone of any economy. The greater the price, the worse it is for the poor and middle class. Natural gas is the cleanest burning of all fossil fuels. We need to expolit it until renewable engergy can power the world. Even if the United States had zero emissions tomorrow, it would not put a dent in greenhouse gas emissions.

They rarely do fully mix down.
