Hoth

By some strange coincidence I had this song stuck in my head all day yesterday, despite not having listened to it in a decade.

Been watching the satellite loop for a few minutes. Obviously the LLC has a counterclockwise spin, but anyone else think that hot tower to its east has something of a clockwise spin presentation to it? Weird.

One of my favorite weather memories, even though we didn't actually get a storm. Just really drove home how much power these things have to stir up water like that.

That's an excellent point. Bill was approaching more or less straight out of the south, right? I still remember when the surf from that one first showed up. Our place on Fishers Island faces CT, so no direct exposure to the Atlantic. We were on our beach having a bonfire and a freak wave came in out of nowhere and totally snuffed the fire, soaked us to our knees, and pulled our cooler out into the Sound. That was when I realized what was happening. I hopped in the car and drove over to the Atlantic side of the island. You could hear the waves well before the ocean came into view--or rather you could hear the enormous waves sucking the rocks off the beach into the water as they receded. Biggest surf I've ever seen by a country mile. You could also see the outermost bands of Bill on the southern horizon, with lightning flashing against the night sky.

That would be awesome. Bill level wave action?

Cool. Newfoundland to New Orleans. The goalposts are narrowing.

Shall we talk about how my grass has resurrected remarkably since the demise of Stein instead?

Looks like Bermuda gets slammed on this run.

Still better than Isaias.

Some hints at lower heights in the GL at the end of the run, but nothing like the GFS.

Absolutely. Those are probably more like a 30-50 year return rate I’d guess.

1635, 1815, 1938, …? The top dogs seem to only show up every 100-150 years or so. Could still be a while.

If that plays out verbatim, I will be taking work off and going to Fishers to watch every last tree on the island blow down a la 1815.

12z GFS is awesome. Lol

Gfs finally with a little late month tropical fantasy action this morning. First fantasy cane of the season?

Congrats, Mike!

You rang?

Wen snow?

Is one potential outcome of CC that we all die of meteorological boredom?

God save the Queen. All hail the King. Long may he reign.

I believe a major heatwave also preceded the 1939 Long Beach storm, too. Interesting.

You are ready to learn...the new way.

He regrets carbo loading at Taco Bell.

Pounding again. Gutters having a hard time keeping up.

LBSW.
