What business are you in...are you a TV met? A good hurricane is a disaster for my business...insurance.

That's your daughter, right?

Pitchers and catchers report....

Stein, Stein, everywhere a Stein.....

I believe it was leading into the winter of 08-09, when the head of the UKMET office said "snow is a thing of the past". That winter, the entirety of the British Isles were snow covered for the first time in memory. A sage once said - "history shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men"

Please Forky, please go on record and say it...."snow is a thing of the past!"

2015 on steroids en route.

The beaches here suck. Stinking tidal estuaries with no waves but lots of jellyfish. 4 weeks? We'll all be lucky to see that with the strong to nearly super east-based Nino.

The backb....ah forget it.

My own private downpour right now.

Throw in that baseball is essentially the only sport, and when your team blows (Yankees), baseball is brutal to watch.

Irv Gikovsky used that in the 70s. A local CBS TV met in NYC.

My favorite phrase, better than "blizzard warnings have been posted". I loathe summer, and speaking of loathsome, STL is now at 89/79, ha ha!

Do you share my concern that early morning joggers could have hypothermia/frostbite issues in the next few weeks?

Yup, the backbone has been broken.

Does the tropical season figure into LR forecasts, or is any attempt to correlate the two sheer voodoo? This map is really remarkable.

Where is this?

This is great stuff, thanks!

Full glass coverage FTW...with Chubb as the insurance company. Chubb pays claims like no other...but they charge premiums like no other too.

It depends on what type of car you have. High-end euro cars are incredibly expensive. I own an insurance agency. Just saw a $4,700 claim on a windshield...a new record!

History shows again and again, how nature points out the folly of men....

I guess I understand what Webb is thinking. In investing, they say "don't fight the Fed". Often when the Fed cranks up interest rates, the market continues to rise, and people say "this time is different"! But in the end, the market gets whacked down and the Fed wins. He is thinking east-based Nino will win in the end. Normally I would agree with him, but I have to respect the opinions of others on this board who know a lot more than me when they say "this time is different". I don't know what to expect.

Talking about ACATT....all the time and everywhere.

All this optimism on an unusually brisk August morning is awesome!
