1.25" in the bucket. Not too shabby.

I don't know about that map..... You can't have a ridge in the west as the predominant pattern and have a warm east coast all winter. It just doesn't work like that..... Someone will have a below average winter. My call this winter, for NC, is for a normal winter when everything is averaged out at the end of the season. That will feel real nice compared to what we have had to deal with the last several winters. The ski resorts should have a decent winter.

Ended up with 0.38" here. I will take anything I can get.

How much???

The burning question is.... how did the earth rid itself of that excess CO2? Was a dramatic increase in plant-life the culprit?

I think a lot of folks hope your wish comes true.

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.
