If that's true, why have the past several winters been so benign?

Wait, ... what are you talking about?

Climo says we start the cool-down process mid-August. Slowly at first, and then it picks up steam in September. I am done with Summer and ready to move on to Fall.

If only we had the technology on a global scale to convert this additional OHC into usable energy. I am sure some think-tank is already working on it.

At around 2:30, you can see large debris being lofted. This is clearly a large tornado, and that descending motion is real. Horizontal vortexes are not uncommon with well developed tornadoes.

That just about sums it up .... Kudos to the ones that took the time to create this. I am old enough to remember that "global cooling" scare.

Welcome back home man. We have missed ya.

It's not only the energy from the state change, it's also the reflected energy that we are losing. Open water will suck up all the sun's energy. It does't look good for any recovery that we all hoped would happen. September better hurry up and get here.

Had some pretty good storms roll through here around 2 am. Heavy rain and plenty of CTG lightning.

Yep, I really noticed the humidity, when I stepped outside this morning.

49 degrees here this morning as well....

Wow, I didn't know there was a daily forecast that goes all the way to Labor Day. That's September..... I know, you meant Memorial Day

I would like to bottle some of this weather today and open it up on a 95 degree day in July.

This is a little early for tropical weather. It's going to be a long summer.

We chased to Beech Mtn. on Saturday. Not nearly that amount. Only about an inch. It was enough to get my last "snow-fix" for the season.
