I'll stick with local animals. A few from over the years.

Forcing myself to sit outside in this shit. I’m now sitting in a pool of my own ass sweat. Who the fuck likes this?

I am surprised they let you cut so much wood in the peoples republic of Southboro. Do you have people protesting you at the end of your driveway?

The woodyard is in Sherborn. Which although is just as bad or  worse I am regulated by the state as a farm.

That's pretty good.  Just thinking that in the summer, it not easy to snow in the tropics even at 14,000 ft, but even less likely when a TC is present b/c of its warm core nature, but PHTO sounding 16/00z showed it right at 0 C at this level.

Was told this by @wxmeddler.  So @CoastalWx needs to shut up about calling it a "garbage model."  It's bias is known and not on purpose! :D  As I like to say, "would he prefer keeping the NAM?"

The over-convection and "big blobs" on the RRFS is a known bias or "bug" with the FV3 Dynamical Core. This was explored recently by Lou Wicker at OU (See: https://doi.org/10.1175/MWR-D-25-0230.1). In short, it can't really be fixed without significant changes to the core. OMD hasn't said it outright publicly but the original plan was to turn off the HRRR and RAP at the same time as the RRFS Operationalization. But they've scrapped that specifically because of the FV3 core issues. Now the plan is to turn off the HRRR and RAP when the RRFS transitions to the MPAS Core in ~2028.

The Baltimore TV market is not tiny and this is a major network affiliate, not cable or independent!

And owners don’t seem to understand that many ppl watch local news for the anchors! Pre-recorded segments? You can get that anywhere.
 
But at least they have live wx still.  The wxcast is the number one reason why ppl watch local news.

Yes, I understand the economics and how the business is evolving but it is still not good. I have noticed since the advent of widespread AI-generated content several years ago, there is a strong backlash and stigma now in much of the population, and it is not just older generations. "AI Slop" as a term has becomes mainstream.

Funny, when CGI first became big in the 90s, that did not have nearly as much pushback, probably b/c you still actually had ppl as actors and you knew they were real. Now? It has gone into "uncanny valley" territory. Ppl do not know what is real or fake now, and that fundamentally raises alert/suspicion in our minds.

I think some smaller TV markets have already done this, but as noted, Baltimore is not a small TV market.  Has it happened anywhere for New England markets yet?

it's a dying entity like FM radio-young adults under 30 are unlikely to watch a TV newscast.....I'm guessing the viewership right now skews older.  Another 10-20 yrs and alot of those folks will be gone without anyone to replace them.  TV anchors/personalities are expensive so with declining ratings I can see why they are doing the above.

Corporate ownership does not care. Bottom line is $. If they can cut spending on newscasters they will. AI is going to make a lot of current occupations obsolete.

Perhaps we'll see a few showers/storms if an U/L digs across SE Canada next weekend.  OTW very very dry

Yeah we need moisture very badly. This is no good for lawns, gardens and those of us with flaky skin. I’m rooting for any tropical systems to move in this direction in the coming weeks!

In a few days NNE will start getting temperatures regularly into the 40's most nights, maybe even a few upper 30's, as we head toward September. Swimming pools will be cooling down fast.  Even here, I expect the pool will have to be closed before Labor day, which is about the latest it ever comes.
