Damn. Good point I did not consider the World Cup. Would hate to see the fail. It’s like when we had the world tour of surfing in Long Beach in 2011 with the biggest prize in surfing history $1,000,000 (still to this day). The whole world made fun of it and then they scored perfect 8-10’ hurricane surf. But the next year 2012 it was flat the same 2 weeks in September. (It was canceled) .

The question is was it just a few on superstar for social media? No way they think it’s time to go for real. That’s a massive operation that has to have access to long range forecasts. .

Seems to be holding steady state in regards to an EWRC. True signature of an intensifying high end TC . -
Hmmmm mandatory evacuations no big deal right? I agree, most of those homes never should have been built. But here we are. It doesn’t take away from the severity of the event unfolding or its impact. This is the second and likely far most impactful nor’easter of the season and it’s mid October.

Clearly you do not live on or near the ocean. Allot to see there. Say goodbye to highway 12 on outer banks. I’ll take pics and post from smith point this week of a beach completely obliterated. And this is only the beginning of super charged southern stream storm loaded winter. So imby yourself away .

Ironically all the left over warnings are north not south. Counter to what you would think based on where the most sun was today. .

Agreed, we saw that after 23. The question is, is the leap even larger this time. .

The Spanish colonies on the west coast of South America were well established by 1790 and they kept meticulous records. Especially in regards to water temps and how it affects the sardine fishery off of Peru. .

That was unprecedented. It’s been snowing like crazy (feet) in Utah already and it’s mid October. The seasons already off to a better start. .

Yeah for sure. Tahoe is rather low at 6,000’ in comparison to what’s possible in the sierra. Mammoth lakes for example is 8,000’ and of course you have peaks over 14,000’. Once you get above 10k it doesn’t really matter how warm the flow is, it’s going to snow. Allot of the Colorado resorts for example go up and over 12,000’. .

Exactly, it’s pretty hard for it not to snow that far north in early January. By the way I am aware there were a couple coastals that winter where it was marginally cold enough to snow inland with enough elevation. I fully expect the same this winter. If you’re over 2,000’. .

97/98 had some great 40/70 track coastals. In fact a plethora of them. The issue is it’s hard to snow when it’s 45 degrees. It was so far off even elevation wasn’t enough to overcome the warmth. I mean the most impressive event for all the wrong reasons that winter was this. .

Occasional Thoughts on Climate Change

Give this recorded breaking (cc enhanced) Nino a chance to do its work. Not that I wish disaster on anyone but we have only just started. Ask the marine iguanas that are left (if any) how they felt about this event. . -

Weird peak area too!!! The two basins where you would expect peak intensity had the opposite. This is my favorite tc for long track .
