weatherwiz Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I totally understand and agree with all points here. I guess my question is whether these extremes are becoming more frequent. If it's not record warmth it's record cold. For example this cold shot, there doesn't seem to be a whole heck of a lot of attention to it...meanwhile if this was record warmth news anchors would be naked. I think Steve made this point in the spring. I know it's not historic by any means...but that shouldn't discredit the significance. But even this past month we have seen some historic events occur...the early season snows in MT...biggest early season stuff since the 1930's...then northern Plains got nailed. I know Vegas has had 30's in October before (looks like record cold in the 1970's) but the frequency of these type of events is increasing...that's what my main point is. Like look at anomalies for tomorrow and Thursday...this is a large chunk of the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Things be changing. I've even noticed the spiders in CT are getting bigger and faster. When I'm working at my friend's dads (his yard is surrounded by some trees in the back and side) there are spiders everywhere and THEY'RE HUGE. Wolf spiders, funnel weavers, some really small brown ones which look like brown recluses. I saw a GIANT one crawling on the hot tub the other day and there was this wolf spider in the shed. they're everywhere. Like a month ago I had one on my shoulder...didn't even look to see what kind...it was huge. I threw my shirt off and ran around screaming. I recently moved to Windsor Locks and I was in my room last week and there was a HUGE black spider on my bedroom floor...quickly jumped on it...didn't even take the time to take a pic and verify the type. CT shouldn't be having these spiders. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Not are about other sites as I haven't checked but DEN is going for all time October records with this cold shot...both record low max and record low min. Pretty impressive. But that doesn't match with climate change. Those types of events are supposed to be less frequent. Not more frequent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT shouldn't be having these spiders. lol. Leave it to Paul. This is a sure sign of climate change. ...You will soon be forced to move north a few notches every few years to avoid the large spiders. Eventually you will end up alone in the North Pole...with no escape...No where to go...stuck on an ever warming planet. Your demise comes as your exhausted, frail body floats alone on the last iceberg...fighting off the giant (swimming) spiders with nothing more than a broom and an empty 40 ounce bottle. At last the fight in you is gone as the eight legged freaks take you. Within seconds they quickly wrap your flesh and bone into a sticky cocoon of death. The Doom is upon you at last as the life is devoured from your motionless body... as the world is ultimately consumed in a hot apocalyptic death and we are no more. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I dropped this hypothesis over the summer ... With the HC expansion stuff, early cold snaps can be intuitively fitting ... because that would tend parlay into NE Pac index responses. Heights in that region, however subtle, average higher, lends to this... Question is, does it last. The base pattern for winter may not even yet occurred - though I suspect it does in this case for other topic... This conceptually might begin to atone for the abhorrent increase in snow occurrence in October since 2000 in general. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
