We Could Talk About The Weather

[N8YX]

Last night it was cold.
Yesterday morning was a little chilly @ speed on the bike...coming home from the Cleveland area. Two weeks prior I got caught in heavy thunderstorms heading in that direction.

[VE7DCW]

We had the warmest day in June ever in most of the province of BC yesterday with highs in the low to mid 30 degrees Celsius breaking records going back 80 years! ...scary stuff....climate change in action! Ok:icon_sad:

[PA5COR]

Normal temps for the time of year, 20 to 23 C, luckily we got/get some rain the last weeks, stilla shortage from the drought last year and this year rainfall was lower as normal as well.
Not complaining so far.

[kb2vxa]

There's nothing to say about WX per se, typical summer so far for this point on the map, 28C av. day and 19C av. night with the possibility of thunderboomers at any time. Sunny and rainy days can be forecast, but T storms are another matter. Hot humid air bubbles break through the thermocline into the cold upper atmosphere and form "popcorn" storms that wet a few km of turf and evaporate. This cycle takes 5 to 10 minutes, by the time you see one on the radar its gone. Looking at my "Forecastfox" bar at the bottom of the Firefox browser it looks like the folks at InaccuWeather are again playing it safe, every day and night in the 3 day forecast has a T storm icon in it. They've been doing that off and on for weeks and so far I haven't heard a single cannon shot.

The life of a TV weatherman is incredibly easy, 99% of his job is already done for him by a subscription WX service and no matter how wrong or incredibly outlandish the GM won't fire him. I suppose there are times when programming of the Chyron (the graphics machine) is questionable, was that a mistake or a joke?

We had hella flooding in the area and to my immediate south on Saturday night through last night. Roads closed everywhere...and the popular bike trail I ride has feet of water over it along a few stretches.

The Tuscarawas River (which I can see from my living room) is almost 1/4mi wide at various places along its course. Usually it's a hundred or so feet.

[PA5COR]

The usual stuff, some hot days 23 to 30 C then thunderstorms, rain, and temps going back up etc etc.

[KG4CGC]

Cold last week, mainly at night. Hot this week, all day and all night.
Got me feeling, not so well but the rain is back and the grass is growing like hell.
Expecting more rain. Hopefully AM showers tomorrow stay in the AM. Got bike night in the evening.

[PA5COR]

Had a few warm days now thunderstorms again, followed by 30C in the weekend and so on...

[KG4CGC]

Warming up and expecting it to get warmer. Up and down in the 80's and 90's. Hope to avoid another heatwave.
I just don't need another drop into the 50's if we do get super hot again. These days, this time of year, high 60's feel almost downright cold.

[KC2KFC]

I think we've had maybe one or two weekends of summer. Otherwise a fair amount of rain with temps in the mid 60s. Although the last 2 days have been in the 70s and sunny. Tomorrow more rain and in the 60s arrrgh.

[N8YX]

Local news rags are saying this round of flooding is among the top 4 or 5 events ever recorded in the area, and we're forecast to receive several more inches of rain before tomorrow morning.

It over with for this years corn crop, too wet to plant; gonna let the crop insurance take the loss.

[KG4CGC]

Hottest September I can remember.

[WZ7U]

Not here. Our Sept was one of the coolest and wettest in a while. Last year, our forest fire problem was record setting. This year, about one tenth as bad. Go figure. Sounds like y'all got whacked this time.

[KG4CGC]

And it's pretty dry for September too. For us, September has been historically rainy to the point that it is expected and farmers based their lives around it.
Last year ... blah blah blah ... 3rd wettest year on record.
2016: historically dry. Mountains went up in flames in the southeast.

[PA5COR]

Wet, sunny September here, 150 mm rain, 6 inches for you guy's for normally 69mm for the month.
We don't do flooding here, just have a few puddles in the grass lawn.
Could use some more rain to kill off the shortage from last year drought and this year hot dry summer...

[WZ7U]

Into low 40's (4-6C for the Europeans :-D) at night the last three nights. Winter is on the way here. News says NW MT is due for feet (meters) of snow! It's not October yet?!? :irked:

[KD8TUT]

It's hot here. Like 85f.

[WZ7U]

We're @ 60* today. Closer to normal.

[KG4CGC]

94 today (34.4ºC)
Currently about 72 (22.2ºC)
A slight misting of rain for about 10 minutes. Slight. Mist. More like hot spit.

[WZ7U]

Supposed to bump 32* tonight. Feels chilly @ 23:13L

[AA1OH]

Still hot here in southern Georgia-97F high and 74F low and humid.

[W5BRM]

87 degrees in Franklin KY at 18:48 cdt. Hot! Bleh

[ad4mg]

Central Virginia is currently experiencing a moderately severe drought. I'm SE of Richmond, where it appears to be worse than surrounding areas. The grass has long been dormant, and the trees have lost half of their leaves already. Temperatures tomorrow are predicted to top out at 97°, and 95° on Thursday. No chance of any rain for the next 6 days.

Hot, dry, and windy. Conditions are ripe for fires... hoping and praying for rain soon.

I hope you get rain too. When fires break out in these condition the firefighters get very over extended.
Not quite as dry here but dry none the less, our grass is also dormant and browning nicely.
This evening on the way home I drove right down the middle on a rain line on hwy 85. South of the highway was moist. North of the highway was dry and as I started further north at my exit, the smell of hot spit grew stronger.
96 was the high (36.1ºC).
Currently it's about 75 (23.9ºC).

[N8YX]

Central Ohio hasn't had much rain this summer, but the northern areas saw a couple weeks of flooding.

It's supposed to cool off tomorrow and stay that way for a while. I'll be putting two of my street bikes up for the winter very soon, then transitioning the other two to winter riding mode.

[KG4CGC]

Today: MOTS; More Of The Same.
[ETA] Looking at a forecasted high of a hunnit on Thursday. (37.78ºC)

[kb2vxa]

We're watching climate change in action, and it is NOT caused by the CO2 stop breathing scam. That out of the way, I haven't seen America this hot and dry since the Northeast drought of 1965. That was an odd one, the Appalachians were a wall that rain couldn't pass over, everything went brown, reservoirs dried up, and we were under a mandatory water conservation order. NYC Mayor Koch (pronounced as it looks) had a wonderful sense of humor, he came up with a nice one, "If it's yellow let it mellow. If it's brown flush it down." Lately NJ dried up, normal temps for this time of year, I'm watching radar showing a large storm from Canada crossing Lake Erie and a smaller one in southern PA headed east, rain in the forecast but as usual it will fizzle by the time it gets here. According to the Blitzortung map there is no lightning in them, but plenty of action around Oklahoma City. You can't blame it on Canada, Shelagh, blame it on Mister Burns. No, this is NOT Photoshoped.

Today, 54F
Yesterday, 84F

40 years ago today

Similar temp variations in 1979. It was a warm rainy Oct 3rd, I was in recovery from a motorcycle accident, in a full leg cast. About 2:30 pm, it got really dark, so dark, the street lights turned on, and cars going by were using headlights. Strong thunderstorm came through. Half hour later or so, heard on the news alert that Windsor was hit by a tornado. I called my Dad's house, his wife answers, not knowing what happened, but commented that a really loud storm came through. The tornado touched down a mile up the road.

https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/weather/stories/The-1979-Windsor-Locks-Tornado-495105121.html (https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/weather/stories/The-1979-Windsor-Locks-Tornado-495105121.html)


A week later, I had a tour of the area where it hit, right after the Oct 10 snow storm, few inches, may 5 inches fell. The road was closed except to residents. There was a road that ran parallel to Poquonock Ave, houses were leveled one one side, on the other side of the parallel road, and untouched in between. Theory is that twin tornadoes ran north up Poquonock Ave. A third tornado cut across east to west at Bradley International.

[kb2vxa]

Tornadoes, we're far from Tornado Alley, but we still get tornadoes, Sharknadoes and even a Stonado. Really bad movies aside, I remember seeing three waterspouts on Raritan Bay that hit Staten Island as tornadoes and did considerable damage. Also when I still lived in Union County I heard many reports of possible tornadic activity, damage had to be assessed to determine if it was a tornado, microburst, or straight line winds. After one incident I took a ride in the VXAmobile on a road looking down on a forest and saw evidence of several microbursts. Picture it as a giant dumping a bucket of water, trees laid flat in a circular pattern like Tunguska only smaller. It was more or less a recent discovery that explained why sometimes planes landing in stormy weather slam into the ground like getting hit by a giant fist. Wind shear detectors went up quick ringing airports radioing data back to a central location. I was working at Newark (NJ) International at the time and they produced spurs that I heard on my scanner I had in my lot exit toll booth. I heard them firing off in sequence around me, rising and falling in intensity as signals passed me. The last tornado damage I saw was when I lived in West Creek at the southern end of Ocean County (if anyone cares to follow this on a map, hi). I heard reports of a waterspout on Barnegat Bay moving east that hit Long Beach Island, I took another trip in the VXAmobile. Thankfully it was late getting in local news or I never would have gotten near the place for the gawkers. It took the roof and a wall off a motel and the house next door, then lifted at the road that runs end to end on the island sparing the beachfront houses on the other side.

As for the weather report, nothing unusual, and that rain didn't come just as I said. For what it's worthless, the band Mammatus was named after ass clouds (it figures). Seek shelter immediately, it's raining POO!

Lorenzo passed like a wet paper bag, sunny now 15 C today, looking at the leaves turning into nice colors on the trees.

[kb2vxa]

Nature sure puts on a show before the dead of winter, and I mean dead. Then we can't wait for May Day still celebrated on 1 May in many parts of Europe when they dance around the May Pole. Oktoberfest is something new actually, and I'm glad for it, a time of wonderful food, and the nectar of the gods... BEER. Frankly I'd rather celebrate in Europe, American beer is panther piss, and so called "imported" beer is brewed here under license to American panther piss standards.

That grump out of the way, here's the U. S. fall color map for today, Saturn's Day 5 October. Sorry COR, using my VPN that fools search engines into thinking I'm in Switzerland, still I couldn't find one for Europe.

[PA5COR]

With the 8 passing autumn like "winters" here I almost feel tricked i put on 4 new all season tyres on my new car last year... expecting another dud of "winter" here, wet rain a night frost or 2 and a few wet snowflakes if we're lucky...
As usual the UK tabloids all "predict"another winter of death, beasts of the east, meters snow, armagheddon and the like...more fail.

[kb2vxa]

It's about those 8 years that global warming has been bandied about, and the massive argument among those that think it is man-made trying to stop it. It is more productive to stop wasting money and political hot air and just relax to the inevitable natural climate change and the changes to the planet it is causing that we must adapt to. Last night I was lying in bed thinking about the Great Flood and earthquakes that released the waters under the Earth, that actually should be spelt earth lower case, adding to rain for 40 days. "They say" the Sphinx was carved out of a great sandstone formation by a civilization predating Egypt, probably true considering the water worn condition of its base.

Now we have rising sea levels greater than be accounted for by retreating glaciers and a melting Arctic ice cap when you consider how the Antarctic ice cap is actually growing. In effect ice is moving south, not global warming but climate change. How about this, Man is pumping water and oil from underground like there is no tomorrow, and in many cases there IS no tomorrow as we know it. When hydrostatic pressure is relieved the tremendous weight above responds to gravity and the land sinks, it is called subsidence. Irrigation wells not only cause crops to grow, but oddly few have given thought to where the water goes. Yep, evaporation causing rain that mainly flows into the same rivers carrying the excess, both are runoff that ends up... you guessed it... in the ocean, and regardless of the rain cycle ultimately causes rising sea levels. It's like the days of Noah on a smaller scale, after all Man is smaller than God.

See what you did COR? I was going to say how there was more snow in Europe in years past and how designers of the Eurostar Express forgot to account for it. Air intakes for cooling the traction motors and control gear were wide open and they sucked in fine snow stirred up by the fast moving train and shorted out the electrics. Oh no, here we have a high speed train stopped dead in its tracks (sic) by a few inches of snow! Trainsets went back for a design overhaul, the next year's snow didn't bother them. After all that about Noah it occurs to me entire rail systems will have to be redesigned, a century and a half overdue, the Thames already has a flood gate, The Clash were right when they recorded London Calling (at the top of the dial and I live by the river)... glug glug glug. As for the Dutch, higher dikes and more windmills are in order, and not those damnable wind turbines either. Oh yeah, they attract birds too.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVHzfUWul2Y

[PA5COR]

Now I did it :mrgreen:
Not so easy to "adapt"to climate change when our country is already for 1/2 it's size below the sea level, levy's and dikes can be build up so far before becoming uneconomical and unpractical, as are our other sea defenses and don't forget the 3 main rivers ending up in our Delta like the rijn, maas schelde which is complex as well.
Warmer temperatures hold more moist per degree C 7% more so that can be rain but also as snow, like we saw last winter with record snowfall in the Swiss and Austrian mountains.

Droughts as we saw the last 2 years as well.
We are quite inventive after living with the sea as neighbor for 2000+ years, there are solutions, floating villages or cities but at large costs, and if not every country adapts change we will be in dire straits, i'm 67 and will survive, my son is 32 and has a full life for him, as do the kids.
I'm doing my bit to be frugal in use of energy and prevention of pollution, as I can understand kids being angry about us.

I would hate it to see us having to give up London, Amsterdam and other coastal cities and area's to the sea rise.
But that is what is in the future if we don't adapt.
In my life i saw the changes, and they are faster as ever before.

[KG4CGC]

Put new dykes up out further and fill with dirt. Over time raise the ground in different areas until the whole country is 50 feet taller. 15.25 meters or whatever height it takes. Create a new industry in this practice and export contract services to other island nations and low lying areas.
We could do this in New Orleans and other places but we won't. We've got our heads too far up our asses.

[kb2vxa]

Right COR, you did it alright. (;->) Your future countrymen will have to get used to the idea they are bo longer Dutch, but citizens of other countries, The Netherlands is one of many countries that will cease to exist. Bye bye London and Amsterdam, Venice is already halfway there dispite the new sea wall and pumping stations. I don't understand why tourists think it's such a romantic city or even go there. In the famous gondolas don't look over the side, those floating things are toilet fish, and that water coming out of a large pipe in the wall is a flush. My future self won't miss it. New Jersey from Raritan Bay south is sand and rolling hills, ancient dunes that were the bottom of a 200ft / 61M shallow sea that will return. The Gulf States and Central Plains States will again be under water, I don't remember the names of all the countries that will cease to exist, no sense posting conflicting maps, it's all guesswork after all. Poor Sydney, Australia, the opera house will have to be refitted with diving apparatus.

[N8YX]

It was a bit nippy on my morning motorcycle commute - from the CLE area back to the shack.

That time of year, when daytime temps are pleasant...and the bottom falls out after dusk.

[kb2vxa]

CLE? Quite right, spring and autumn only give narrow windows to bikers, that's where leather comes in. Some years ago WA2V (SK) and I went fishing on opening day of trout season, the first Saturday in April. We knew we'd need an early start beginning at dawn, it took an hour taking turns kicking, spraying, and more kicking to cold start his '62 Harley Sportster semi hog. Then we left on a long cold trek to my favorite fishing hole shivering all the way and stopping at every diner for hot coffee. When we got there a fire was the first order of business! The only fish was caught by Jack, a monster sucker (of the carp family) thankfully a sluggish bottom feeder, we only had 14lb test monofilament line. Hauling it up was tough, we thought it was a large snapping turtle common there. He couldn't haul it out and we didn't bring a net, I waded in and grabbed it by the gill flaps, that sucker (sic) was HEAVY. Although good eating we released it out of respect for "a 100 year old fish", it managed to survive for a long time we just couldn't kill it. Going home the notoriously troublesome series bike started right up and it was a pleasant ride home layered clothing opened.

Just a funny short story, '60s Harleys were quite troublesome, it was just in time the Little Honda the Beach Boys made famous came along. I was in with (not in) the Pagans that drove Harleys exclusively and worked with them and a few independents who drove Motoguzzis, BMWs, and the like, better but not best, that was Honda all the way. I rode with a friend on his brother's CB-350, we had a blast riding past them working on their bikes shouting "You're fixing, we're riding! <razz>" Sometimes one would throw a wrench that missed by a mile, bikers are cool!

<snip>When we got there a fire was the first order of business!
<snip>The only fish was caught by Jack, a monster sucker (of the carp family) thankfully a sluggish bottom feeder.
Your April fishing experience mirrors mine; this in 1984. A bunch of us hit a nearby waterway to fish, drink beer and generally raise hell. My catch was so large it took two of us to get it clear of the water, and like you I released it afterwards. We scrounged and burned half a forest's worth of fallen wood in order to keep warm. Cold and drizzly = body heat is instantly sucked away.


I rode with a friend on his brother's CB-350
My first bike, acquired 12 months earlier. By later that year ('84) I'd put almost 18k on the thing, along with learning how to rebuild a motor due to a bad lower-end bearing. I took a lot of grief from The Motor Company crowd back then. Most don't open their yaps nowadays, as a tuned F6 Valkyrie will simply blow their Hogs into the weeds.

[KG4CGC]

Getting that Autumn feeling ... if it was late August. 80º (26.67ºC).
[ETA]: as of today, the humming birds are still here.

[kb2vxa]

1984 was A Very Good Year (Frank Sinatra) but 10 Years After (Alvin Lee and Leo Lyons' ass kicking band) Orwell's novel caught up. Cold and drizzly must be the worst weather, especially to go biking even wearing leather, face plates don't have windscreen wipers. Catch and release is how I always fished except for sunfish, considered trash fish but good eating, and trout stocked in NJ where they're not native, and meant to ve caught and eaten. Why release stocked fish that don't recognize natural food and unless caught will starve? Raised on pellets, corn being bright yellow seen easily from a distance by hungry fish, they make a bee line for it at high speed.

The Honda CB-350, no relation to 11M unless you radio equip one (;->) makes a perfect first bike, plenty of power and not so heavy you wrench your guts out standing it up like you would with a 1200cc Sportster or worse, a 1500cc Electraglide. Work out and get muscled, then buy an Indian with a big saddle seat, you can cruise all day and half the night on one. I've been on a lot of bikes, but nothing as comfortable as a '57 Indian with a seat big enough for Leslie West aka Mountain I came across in the window of a Honda (car) showroom. The Motor Company? FoMoCo, MoPar, or Delco? (;->) Yeah, I get it, Mondays were bad days at work, I'd catch it from them with "When are you going to get off that rice burner and get a REAL bike?" My stock answer was "In case you didn't hear me when we went by, we're riding, you're fixing!" That usually earned me getting sprayed with a fire extinguisher, a kick in the but, or one of the silly games we played in that sand box that broke up the monotony.

Humming birds of the Ruby Throated variety? I only saw two in my whole life, they're awfully rare in New Jersey, or at least in places where I lived. There is a greater variety of wildlife, insects, birds, and animals in the West Creek area than anywhere else I've been because it's quite rural, but no hummingbirds. One night relaxing on the porch in Point Pleasant Beach I thought I was watching a hummingbird working the hanging potted flowers, a hummingbird AT NIGHT? I got up for a closer look, closer like inches away, and it didn't fly away, it ignored me completely. I never saw a hummingbird with antennae at night, so when it finished and flew I went inside and did some Google Fu, it was a rare treat to see a hummingbird moth.

15 C here 24 in the South of the country 250 miles difference....
Still chance on some rain and we already had a months worth here in 10 days.

[ad4mg]

No rain here, still. Actually had a very light sprinkle a few minutes ago. Burn bans in effect all throughout the area. Unsprinkled lawns have been dormant for weeks.

A 30% chance of 1/10" to 1/4" of rain today. Not too optimistic about that...

[N8YX]

I winterized one of the bikes yesterday. Mid-week will see a dip into the 50s but temps are forecast to rebound back to high 60s/low 70s for the weekend. Perfect for doing the other one.

Wrenching season is drawing to a close. Radio projects (and related threads) will soon start up again.

[KG4CGC]

Holy Crap! I haven't seen it rain, "quite this thick" in a while. Some spots in the yard are under 1 to 2 inches of water but there's a river flowing through the middle of the back yard culminating into a lake in the neighbor's yard. It doesn't happen often but when it does they get snakes trapped in their garage, shop type building, unattached to their main dwelling.

I expect a "Round 2" later in the day and we were already saturated from weeks of slow soaking rain.

[KG4CGC]

A solid week of rain expected with highs varying from the mid 50's (13ºC) to the mid 70's (24.5ºC) with the lowest low being about 45ºF (7.2ºC).
It's already rather damp. Saturated in fact. Last time the rains blew out my large river rocks in the ditch out front. I set down some pavers and redid the river rocks at the 24" pipe outlet that's there to cross under the driveway. I guess we'll see how well it holds up this time.
I may have to update some stuff since the rain is starting to be digitized per government rules changes. Oh well. Progress.

[kb2vxa]

The Greenies having settled finally on "climate change" are still raving about man made CO2 so please stop breathing. That having been said, the Flat Earthers may be right. With summers being cooler and winters warmer the planet seems to be having even temperatures and it's monsoon season everywhere. It's getting like Quito, Ecuador "The City Of Eternal Spring" and that suits my fancy, but the angels are drowning us, Who'll Stop The Rain? NOEE, WHERE ARE YE?

There must be a barrier between us, Deep In The Heart Of Jersey the 5 Day calls for temps in the low 50s and continuing monsoon.

You brought back some unpleasant memories, 1967 was NOT a very good year Mr. Sinatra. It was The Summer of Love only in Frisco, everywhere else in the U.S. it was The Summer of Hate, and a long, hot summer it was as our major cities burned. Then Santa brought an awfully cold and snowy winter, he should have left the North Pole where it was. I and my friends got caught between the race riots and Vietnam. I breathed a sigh of relief when classified 1Y, others not so lucky got drafted, and one smart cookie joined the Navy. He went through one horrible winter at Naval Station Great Lakes, and later sleep deprived and nearly deafened aboard the New Jersey stationed outside the range of shore batteries lobbing 16" 2,000lb shells at them. The poor bastards who found themselves in the Army lucked out being stationed in non combat areas, but they returned different from when they left. No, 1967 was NOT a very good year.

New York, New York, it's a HELL of a town, the temperature's up and The Battery's down. The lyrics are subject to interpretation! In the middle of the East Side of Manhattan is the Hell's Gate neighborhood with a major Con Ed generator's stacks belching, and behind it the currents in the East River are treacherous. Then there's the Battery at the southern tip of the island so named because it was Manhattan Battery with big guns protecting the harbor. The Battery is down in the sense it's discharged so your car won't start, the traffic jams and gridlock are legendary. There is a good side, a bit north is Chinatown, (the mom n' pop places have the best food at the best prices) and not far is Little Italy, you'll just LOVE the food. One bite of New York style pizza hot out of a coal fired oven and you'll think you died and went to heaven.

We are supposedly this week going to be going through the coldest temperatures we have experienced in the last few years and this coming in a non- La Nina year showing the rapid progression of climate change and the degradation f the jet stream patterns.We had some snow this morning........we will most likely have daytime temps down to about -6 to -10 C mid week. It's getting cold :ugh:

[PA5COR]

winter has been canceled here in Europe and Eastern Europe, even Moskou is above 0 C...
Just like last yeear, not much profit of my ne 4 season tires to be had here..., but saves on heating costs though, every cloud has a silver lining.

[kb2vxa]

It must be the Jet Scream, Canadia seems to be the exception to global warming. IIRC it was 1995 when we had the blizzard of the century, I was snowed in listening to the regional shortwave outlet of a Canadian AM station. The morning drive time Radio Blah Blah host was taking calls, and every one was complaining about the snow. Finally he had it up to THERE and pulled a Popeye Ise had all I can stands and I can't stands no more! live on air. It was like the mad as hell scene in Network, I heard the chair go flying as he ran around the studio shouting "This is Canada people, it snows in CA-NA-DAAA!!!" and I nearly fell over laughing. It was one of those I wish I was rolling tape moments for sure.

[KG4CGC]

Currently about 64º (17.7ºC) and cloudy with a very slow steady drizzle. Radar says it's leaving but slowly and more to be expected throughout the week.
Saturday's storm had made the ground soft as there were reports of fallen trees from the Upstate to the Midlands.
Sunday was clear and sunny at about 72º (22.2ºC) with a night time low of about 54º (12.2ºC).
We are told to expect cooler temps this weekend and next week. "Below normal" is what they're calling it. The only thing normal about January weather in SC is that it could do anything.

Cold, wet here. Another January in the forest. It's supposed to get below freezing very soon with all that goes with that. It could be spectacular!

When it rains, it pours. Feast or famine. Currently we are experiencing mid Spring like conditions due to the jet stream. We're being told to expect cooler temps by next weekend.
At the moment I have about 61 (13.11ºC) and more rain with thunderstorms are expected. I'm getting acclimated to the warmer temps which is bothersome right now since it will get cold again and I will have to reacclimate to that.

Don't complain, just be thankful you don't have winters like Alaska. Trucks and the Alaskan Railroad are their lifelines and drivers have a saying, "When it's -20 it's a warm day. When it's -40 it's cold. When it's -60 it's DAMN cold." The beauty of the place below the Arctic Circle is a 3 1/2 month growing season and it is the land of the midnight sun... indoors the growing season is year round. https://www.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/growing-marijuana-in-alaska/

Spring is biting fly season in Maine when they swarm like killer bees, and at the Jersey Shore it lasts all summer when they're joined by mosquitoes. Don't walk through grass or you'll be followed by a cloud of them and people call you Lumpy. In high grass and brush they're joined by leeches and ticks, both jump. When coming home from a walk in such an area with friends you're best advised to strip naked and inspect each other (forget modesty) and clothes inside and out. Spring is pollen season so bad in the Pine Barrens that with a stiff breeze you'd think the forest is on fire. The red VXAmobile was a yellow-green come morning, I had to drive with the windows closed for the first couple of blocks for the pollen to blow off, then open them to let the mosquitoes out. This is the season for cookouts when you enjoy the food, in summer you ARE the food.

Come Friday spring is in retrograde, tomorrow's wind ushers in winter and out the rain finally. <gurgle>

This is the warmest winter in my memory, days typically like today's 14C expected. Wet too, rain at least until Sunday, if it were snow we'd be buried up to our ears like 1957 when our single story house disappeared under it. We were prepared with shovels, buckets and tubs tunneling out like The Great Escape. Great movie BTW, when dad's shovel went <clunk> I said "Dad, we found the car." If only we could send this rain to Australia, VK2TV reports the drought is so bad the ground is like concrete, and he has to bury some CAT5 to the shed. Well, it's time for a Ditch Witch. Worse are the bush fires that have been raging for a couple of months...

Was like an old Vanilla Ice track around here last night and into the morning.
It's the weatherman's fault. Oh, excuse me, didn't mean to be politically incorrect by using an obsolete term... weather forecasters, it's their fault.

Two days ago, they were talking about the 10th Anniversary of Snowmaggedon, and (more importantly) how it could not happen again, not with the mild winter we're having so far.

Today... 4 inches starting at 4 AM, and more white stuff in the forecast for the next few days.

We live in interesting times.

[kb2vxa]

That last is an ancient Chinese curse, may you live in interesting times. This is an interesting winter making wide day/night temperature excursions across the freezing mark and unusually wet.What I'd like to know is what changes are happening in parts of the world not normally heard from like Russia, China, and Southeast Asia. A few years ago the sharp rise in the cost of computer parts, HDDs in particular was caused by unusual monsoon flooding that destroyed many factories. As a rail fan I saw and downloaded many pictures of railways under water and trains slogging through. Around the same time the mighty Mrs. Pee Pee flooded the Midwest and U.S. trains also learned to swim.

Then there are the hated greenies, rather like green heads, the infamous Jersey Shore biting flies, that couldn't make up their minds about global cooling and the ice age coming, then global warming and desertification, now it's climate change and they're blaming it on US! They complain we can't see past our noses re that cartoon, but what about THEIR noses when there is great and undeniable evidence the Earth is a dynamic planet and climate has been changing since its creation. Yes, our climate IS changing still and again will cause mass migration of Man and beast. The biggest lesson the White Man must learn is stop fighting Mother Nature that only brings her wrath, live With her and adapt TO her like the Red Man had been living in harmony with her until the invasion of 1492. I once heard a Native American say "Before the coming of the White Man we could drink out of any river." There once were happier times, so stop complaining, stop fighting it, along with climate change we need attitude change!

That 40s style cartoon commentary fits my gripe well also, he's not the only Limbaugh listening jerk I've known and forgotten. The name I use when referring to the overfed loudmouth is "Russian Limburger" an odoriferous big cheese. The comment in the lower right fits the White Man's attitude, ignorance is bliss until the price of stupidity comes due. When the storm comes the willow bends and survives while the stiff oak breaks.

[KG4CGC]

We've been getting into more seasonal Spring like conditions but still a lot of rain. The rain makes me feel colder than normal.

[n2ize]

We haven't had any snow to speak of this entire winter here in the New York City / Southeast New York area. We've had a lot of rain events with unseasonably mild weather followed by clearing and cooler but barely any of the usual winter cold we are used to. Interestingly enout things started off looking like we would be in for a cold one. Late fall brought us an ice storm and some rather cold temperaturesand a few intense snow squalls. Then right around Christmas time it went poof... as if someone threw a switched and turned off the winter and then forgot to turn it back on.

The reality is the jet stream has been locked in a pattern pretty much all winter where the jet stream is pretty much blocking any cold arctic air from making it;s way down into the northeast. There is a big trough in the middle of the country where the jet stream takes a sharp dip southward allowing some arctic air to roll down into the midwest. But then it takes a very abrupt turn northeast and it pretty much rolls up well north of us leaving the eastern part of the United States (including the northeast) pretty well blocked from receiving any cold arctic air while enabling plenty of warmer, humid air to come up from the south and ultimately giving us a pretty wimpy mild winter with almost no snow to speak of.

Hopefully next winter will be kickass but I've pretty much written off this winter as a "non-winter". P.S. Even last winter which was pretty wimpy comes across like a tiger compared to this winter.

[KG4CGC]

John, in my opinion, it's better than an unstable Arctic air mass that finds its way way further South than my liking. I know you've talked about moving to Alaska before. This may be your year.

[PA5COR]

Warmest winter since in 1883 records started, rain, storms whatever.
Now sunny day 9 to 10 C time to build in the 4K dashcam in the car, after camera will have to wait till later...

[N8YX]

The reality is the jet stream has been locked in a pattern pretty much all winter where the jet stream is pretty much blocking any cold arctic air from making it;s way down into the northeast.

An interesting set of case studies revolve around this type of zonal flow and the 1925 (Tri-State), 1965 (Palm Sunday), 1974 (Super) and 2011 (Southern States) tornado outbreaks.

At this time, the dynamics appear to be in proper place for another late March/early April significant event. To John's point...very limited polar maritime intrusion allowing for enhanced Gulf air returns into the Midwest and northeast areas of the country, with little in the way of mixing.

[KG4CGC]

I may have, probably came off wrong to John. I sent him a PM a few days ago.

[kb2vxa]

Well, we're off to a typical blustery March, warming erratically. Like Inacuweather saying tomorrow will peak at 70F/21C and plunge to 35F/1.666C rather devilishly. April showers bring May flowers? RAIN! UGH! ENOUGH ALREADY!

[N8YX]

It got a little interesting around here last night....11PM through 1AM.

Tornado in my lady friend's area, then the cell transitioned to downburst mode as part of a developing bow echo. All of that came through my locale about 45min later and there are trees and branches down everywhere. The 6BTV over my garage is bent, so a trip to DX Engineering for a spare lower section is in order. At least I didn't lose anything else, and gained some free firewood to boot.

Ah yes. I've mowed the lawn 3 times in 3 weeks.

Tornadoes and microbursts last Monday morning. Not too bad here even though things look like they all got hit with a hammer. Couple of large broken branches in my yard. Other parts of the neighborhood is worse. West of here in Oconee Co they had a half mile wide, 160 mph monster.
Power was out for 14 hours. Internet just now came back. All the infrastructure for the internet etc had to all be replaced for a large swath around me.
Temps in the mid to high 60's since then. Lows in the mid 40's. Typical Spring.

Serious rain last few days. High water but it could have been worse and has been in the very recent past.

[N8YX]

The WX thread kinda fell off the page...

During the past few days, high-altitude smoke from the fires out west made it into my area. Sunlight is dimmed to the point that you can look directly at the solar disk without filtering if the elevation is less than 10 degrees.

What's interesting is no spots. As in, someone took a Jupiter-sized tub of Clearasil and spread it all over Old Sol.

Temps are a few degrees cooler than average here too.

[WZ7U]

Now imagine looking up here and being able to look at a zitless disc? That was the first thing I noticed was no spots. Then the sun outright disappeared later on. A weird twilight took over and some auto on lights thought it was nightfall. Now do this for 5 days straight. Yes, temps down 10-20* easily.

We had some rain come through which helped slightly, now the weather fakers say by Saturday we should be clear for a day then a new curl of smoke comes back around and its groundhog day again.

And then to hear the Orange shitgibbon tell it, makes me want to kill my television. Even if the tv itself is innocent.

Never take clean air for granted.

[kb2vxa]

Hey, cool it with that orange shitgibbon stuff, orange people are people too! Protestant Irish are orange people, there is The Orange Order, and forget apples, eat an orange a day to keep the doctor away.

All kidding aside; "Never take clean air for granted."
Growing up in Cancer Alley, the swath between Newark and South Amboy, NJ chock full with an oil refinery, petrochemical and plastics industries, even a plant treating railroad ties with creosote, I never knew clean air. To borrow a line from Bob Dylan, "You don't need a Weatherman to know which way the wind blows." He meant the Weather Underground, I mean Sniff And The Tears... not the band, take a sniff and my eyes watered. At one place a few miles west of New York City 450ft AMSL from an east facing kitchen window every morning I watched planes landing like spacecraft on reentry sinking into the smoke layer. They have to come in at a particular angle, too shallow and they bounce off into space never to return, too steep and they burn up, passengers wouldn't like that very much. That made me appreciate living above it, here "down the shore" another sight makes me appreciate living south of the stench that filled my nostrils on rare occasions when I had to go north on business no longer nose blind to it. The second sight is standing on the beach looking to the right (south) seeing clear blue sky, and looking to the left (north) and seeing smoke like a thick grey smudge across the horizon extending far out to sea.

Coating of snow with a high of 34 degrees

[N8YX]

There's frost out on the punkins around here this morning.

[PA5COR]

Rain, storm but hottest night in 50 years or so 17 C and in the south 19 C through warm air blown to us with the storm.
Verticals dancing in the wind....:mrgreen:

[KG4CGC]

Expecting a freeze tonight.

[PA5COR]

Sunny after all the rain and 2 storks passed, rest of the week calm weather.
Temps now max 12 C so for the first time pilot lights of the gas heaters are on still not used them 18 to 19 C in the house is warm enough for us.

[KG4CGC]

Well then, 67º today. Sunny with light wind.
Baro 29.99 Humidity 63%

Monday night we had thunder storms roll through. The old farmer's saying that if you get a thunder storm in January, in 7 to 10 days it will snow.

We shall see but it held true for last year.

[kb2vxa]

Can we talk about the weather? NO! It's colder than a witch's tit and snowing like hell, it won't stop until Wednesday! Oh I'm alright here in my igloo with the heat on, I just don't want to TALK about it... see ya.

I'm not sure about that but I started noticing a co-relation to earthquakes on the east coast prior to major hurricanes since hurricane Irene back in 2011

[kb2vxa]

Long ago I noticed a correlation between hurricanes that all had women's names and a certain Amateur callsign. <ducking>

The only correlation between hurricanes and earthquakes in the East may be in Florida, specifically the Okefenokee swamp. The name is a Native American word meaning "quaking ground" because when walked on tufts and floating grass islands it feel like a bowl of Jello. Earthquakes on the right coast do happen, but you have to be close to the epicenter to even notice the strongest ones no more that a Cat 3. Meow meow meow. (;->) They get stronger as you move west, while rare in the Midwest, the Madras Fault has let loose with a couple of doozies, sand guysers and the mighty Mississippi flowing backward.

Now you have me wondering if out Californucation way there may be one between earthquakes and wildfires. There definitely IS a connection between wildfires and the Santa Anna desert winds that dry everything out, blow down wires and arcing ignites the tinder dry grass.

Since the nostalgia thread brought up "ding dong Avon calling" I noticed your ding dong has a correlation between your name as it appears in your URL and my old chicken band handle Stereo. No, not because of my always in evidence multiple alter egos, Crusher, Mysteron, Mousteron (Mysteron tape at double speed) The Slime oozing out of your CB set (from the lyrics of a Frank Zappa song) but because I always had music playing in the background. Sometimes I think we have TOO much in common. ('->)

[KB2SFH]

I don't ding dong to sell Avon, I supply the link to my 24/7 online store for anyone that wants to buy and have direct delivery which is so much faster and my active customers get some nice perks from me. And I always loved the "Crusher" story, that was the shit.

[kb2vxa]

WHICH Crusher story? The one where Snuffy in Kenilworth was surrounded by Crushers with crusher transmitters and Paul/Crusher nearly across the street, Jack/Crusher welding with his breath like Godzilla at Thunder Base in Beachwood, or me with Captain Video and locals in Reading, PA chasing us all around instead of going to work? Oh, I know why you don't actually dig dog for Avon.

Meh, foot of snow this weekend, blizzard conditions 60 mile per hour wind, -10 to -15 C, I bet that will be fun.
At least my 4 season tyres get used....
Out for shopping tomorrow....:icon_rolleyes:

[KG4CGC]

Hi Cor.
Had rain and a few flurries last night at 40ºF (4.44ºC)

[PA5COR]

Better as we expect, already wind is going up, -0.3 and falling.
Getting out to get some extra supplies and wait off what will come, at least my 4 season tires can show their worth ;)

[KG4CGC]

34º and wet slushy snow accumulating.
A year to the day.

[PA5COR]

Woke up this morning with force 8 gale ( 60 mile per hour gusts) snow flying around most horizontally, about 4 to 5 inches on the ground and still snowing, -6 C.
Cat wanted out, hunted some snowflakes but was back on the lap in 5 minutes.
Will stay windy the whole day and tomorrow and snowing as well, will see with how much we end up here.
Did some extra shopping yesterday so for 2 weeks we are good, though gritters pass by every 3 to 6 hours salting the roads and clearing the snow on the street.
If i need to go out i can faind out how the 4 season tires work, but i rather stay in the warm house ;)
Nights can be going as low as -15 C...

[KG4CGC]

Close to 6" of snow over night. Most has melted off today with temps well above freezing.
Expecting rain all week but it's sunny right now.

[VE7DCW]

Looks like our winter is finally going to hit us.Arctic air is going to spill out of the interior of the province and our lows of -10 -12 celsius will be upon us for the 2nd week of Februrary.All this in a La Nina year,this should be fun! :yes:

[PA5COR]

-6.5 C now, still some snow falling 8 inches till now, just cleared the front path to the road.
Just have to do the back garden and free the bins there and door in the fencing...
Will be a cold week, saw the news about the cold snap in Canada and USA so we're all in deep freeze...

[WZ7U]

Weather prognostications around here say snow on the valley floor by Wednesday, maybe Thursday. Yay.

Richmond's 1st ever Ice Storm Warning. In effect until noon Sunday. They are calling for 1/2" of freezing rain. Temperature will not get above freezing until late Sunday afternoon. Power outages are already starting to pile up. My whole house generator will get it's chance to prove it's worth...

See the little yellow dot? That's my approximate location. -Dead Center- :icon_rolleyes:

17461

[kb2vxa]

Then don't drive and stay alive! Early this morning I saw some news videos about it on You Tube, down Texas way there was a 100+ vehicle pileup with several fatalities and many hospitalized. All that was left of one car I saw was a ball of mangled metal. I see the Inacuweather radar showing it moving across Tennessee and Delmarva and into PA and NJ. Ice and snow today and tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday rain, clearing Wednesday. Weather in a word... UGH.

[PA5COR]

Last night -12 C coldest place in the country -18.2 C, tomorrow last day of freezing cold weather next weekend it will be + 12 C......

[ad4mg]

Almost 100,000 people without power in central Virginia (I'm one of them, on generator now).

17464
Several more hours of freezing rain ahead. Tree limbs the size of my truck are down all over the place.

[KG4CGC]

Hoping for the best for you, Luke.
Meanwhile here, rain all week through Thursday.
That's good. I was worried that my mud would dry up.

[ad4mg]

More outages now...

17465

It was over 200,000 about an hour ago. I'm thankful that it isn't bitterly cold, a lot of people would have really suffered. Temps hovered just below freezing all of last night, and all day.

My property looks like a war zone. I can sit outside and hear big tree limbs crashing to the ground in the surrounding woods, about 1 every 2 or 3 minutes.

We just hit the high temp for the day... 32° F / 0° C. Balmy...:squint:

[ad4mg]

Hoping for the best for you, Luke.

[WZ7U]

12" of snow under a coating of freezing rain here, mid 20's overnight. Record numbers of power outages in the region. Got the call at 3am last night to go fetch one of our elderly people out of her fifth wheel where power was out to take her to a family members place with power, about a 50 mile each way trip in a freezing rain storm. Missed a couple trees across the road, which is what concerns me most living out here in the rain forest.
I'm glad I have the skills and equipment to pull stuff like that off. Odds of this go down a little each year. IOW, another usual February in the PNW according to my luck.

All for naught, as the temps are expected to be back in the 40's in a couple days.

[PA5COR]

All power cables underground here so no problems with that.
Temps today -10 C and will go up to +12 C next weekend, end winter?

[VE7DCW]

All I can add to everyone's winter woes is we just had 25 centimeters of snow dumped on us this weekend and cold temperatures last week of -12 C ...... we now have info about the sudden whiplash weather that shows in the new effects of climate change that we now start warming drastically highs of 4-6 degrees C on Monday and the rain comes back setting us up for flooding events! Nice! :icon_rolleyes:

[N8YX]

We're under a winter storm watch beginning tomorrow afternoon. Otter be fun...

[kb2vxa]

Spring in Holland, not Holland, Michigan, should begin when the Keukenhof Tulip Gardens open on 20 March. Meanwhile Winter, not Johnny or Edgar, is best spent underground in the bunker with a friendly groundhog. Mine is still hibernating, I have no idea when I'll see him outside my window looking to steal some hapless squirrel's nuts. Squirrels like all rodents are prolific breeders having prodigious nuts. Now if you really REALLY have to drive in that mess remember all weather tires are useless on ice, be sure to put tire chains on! Oh, mind falling trees and power lines, trees are MUCH worse. You can jump clear of a charged car or truck, not a falling tree.

17469

[N8YX]

The above looks like this area when a November Witch came calling last year. Dozens if not a hundred or more blowdowns in a state park near me.

[PA5COR]

Clouded, -1 C here freezing rain falling, extremely slippery outside...

[kb2crk]

Cloudy and dreary here. Everything soaked through. Was 45 when we woke up, now down to 34 and headed lower. Still have standing water across the driveway.

[PA5COR]

+7 C here, one week back we had -12 C here, last snow thawing away fast, end of the week +12 to +18 C.....

[KG4CGC]

Shouldn't get past 46 here but the winds are kicking up and the ground is very well saturated.
Hopefully we won't see anything over 16 mph.

[ad4mg]

We're not going to get by so easily. Another huge ice storm will arrive beginning early Thursday morning, and we are expected to get > 1/2" of ice again, followed by frigid temperatures until late Friday. There are still almost 11,000 Dominion Power customers without power as I type this, down from over 200,000 at the height of the storm. It is expected to be worse this time.

I was off the grid for 37 hours during the last storm. Before I retired, I had a whole house Generac with an automatic transfer switch installed, along with whole house surge protection. It's expensive to run (propane engine), but it sure is nice having electricity during these horrible outages.

17475
Almost identical to the previous storm. I am approximately half way in-between Richmond & Petersburg.

[N8YX]

I'm going to utilize as much solar/wind/battery power as I can when I set my next homestead up but for the larger appliances like refrigerators, freezers, furnace and whatnot a generator will be going in as well. Going to do a wood burning fireplace in the main family room and a pot belly in the kitchen, so auxiliary heat shouldn't be an issue either.

[KG4CGC]

Last 10 days we've had average Springtime temps for the daylight hours ... if it was April.
Night time temps have only been slightly higher than average for March but tonight it is supposed to get down to 26.
The grass is growing and my mower is being beckoned early from its slumber.

SPC put up a Day 1 High Risk outlook for much of MS and AL (this includes Bob, 'BH). I'd pay close attention to the skies today - forecast is for a couple of violent long-track tubes. Initiation in MS will occur at peak heating, around 3PM.

[ad4mg]

Serious stuff. The "High Risk" outlook is rarely issued... none were issued in 2020. We have our opportunity for severe weather tomorrow, about the same time of day.

[N8YX]

High Risk outlook foi NE MS, NW AL and S TN (including Sig Tor values approaching 10) from 1200z onward. Pay close attention to the skies if you're in the area.

They're called Skyporn whackers for three reasons, their logo looks like tRump's orange butt, while chasing storms the alpha hotels jam up local repeaters, and interfere with emergency services. The funniest repeater mess I heard was every one of them saying "only light rain" or "no rain here". Then some strong signal came over them, a guy beating his chest sounding like he was in a TV news helicopter imitating Al Roker then weatherman on channel 4 New York. Then after a round of laughter from other amused listeners... silence. So, if you see a porcupine car with as many stickers as antennas on the road go quickly in the opposite direction, The Wizard of Oz was only a movie, stay safe.

[KG4CGC]

59º and moderate rain. Tornado warnings for several counties.

[KG4CGC]

WOW! I bet the NC mountains really got a huge amount just based on radar maps I've been following. It floods easily because the water has to go somewhere so it runs down hills and the creeks and rivers fill up quick.

Here locally we've been getting moderate to heavy at times rain. On and off so it's not too bad.
Had some pretty bad lightning too as well as tornado warnings throughout the afternoon and early evening.
Expecting more of this through the night until at least 8 or 9 AM.

Current temperature is 59ºF.

[PA5COR]

Sunny, 13 C bit windy later some rain.

[kb2vxa]

You reminded me the same conditions prevailed here around the asylum that so far the lunatics haven't taken over. Either a tree branch or broken spacers for years causing slack caused a 4800V secondary to arc blinking the lights and tripping an alarm. Thankfully my computer set to stay off didn't trip out, improper shutdowns cause data corruption that Windblows repairs from backup files at the next (slow) startup.

I wonder if Linux has similar rudimentary system file recovery.

[N8YX]

I wonder if Linux has similar rudimentary system file recovery.
Linux has a very robust file system recovery-repair utility set. Depending on the type of file system and storage infrastructure, it can be layered.

[kb2vxa]

I should have known Linus would come up with a Unix based system that's well protected by structure. As for the weather, March came in like a lamb and is going out like a lion with rain, wind, and temperatures like a roller-coaster as hot and muggy summer battles cold and damp Old Man Winter... Johnny and Edgar's daddy.

[PA5COR]

Today, sunshine, 21 C here in thee south new record 26.1 C and next monday 2 to 3 C snow and hail.
LOL.

[kb2vxa]

From summer back to winter, eventually summer will win... for a while. Ecuador being poverty stricken the only good thing is the climate, pick your season that lasts year round. At the coast it's tropical, then as you climb into the Andes it's temperate, at high altitude it's arctic. Quito is where the climate suits my clothes, it's known as the city of eternal spring.

Snow doesn't hurt unless it's thunder snow, hail sure does and it can be destructive, either way you know to seek shelter immediately. In a worst case scenario you're not safe in your car, and if it's C. B. Demille hail you're not safe anywhere when Moses orders it up. (;->) That BTW was an interesting SFX in the 1956 film The Ten Commandments, naphthalene mothballs were set alight and dropped for flaming hail. There's an interesting story behind that set: https://outwardon.com/article/californias-buried-city-may-never-be-uncovered/

Hey Warren,
AVG coughed up a fur ball with the link. Something something script something.

[KG4CGC]

Mid 50 days and mid 20 nights for the last few days. Sunday we're looking at 70's and mid 30's Monday morning. The rest of the week will warm up accordingly ... whatever that means. Gradually?

[WZ7U]

That's a steep thermometer Charles. I don't like big swings like that.

Lately mid/upper 50's high and low 40's low, there was a 70° day with some 60's thrown in. Spring is starting in the PNW. The rain seems less than usual total-wise, but haven't found statistics to back that up or not. Yet.

Notice the first highlight on this page - https://w2.weather.gov/climate/local_data.php?wfo=pqr

[KG4CGC]

Hmmm, hamis weather.

Of note; a couple of weeks ago it stayed 59º for 24 hours straight.
Very unusual.

[kb2vxa]

"AVG coughed up a fur ball with the link. Something something script something."
The something something is a false flag. AVG was one of many AVs I dumped for one reason or another while Malwarebytes Corporate has served well for years. I nearly ripped the guts out of Minya, son of Godzilla (my computers followed the kaiju story lines well) installing and removing AV software to run in tandem and none worked satisfactorily. Then my well connected guru sent the unmonitored version of Symantec Endpoint Protection. It's enterprise grade AV/firewall package, so a bit tricky to install and set up unlike consumer grade plug n' play stuff, well worth its salt and then some. There is a monitored version for large corporations like GE and Transamerica, but I'm not an IT Department in charge of hundreds, or thousands of computers networked in a vast cube farm manned by gamers and porn addicts thinking a boss key hides them from The Eye of Sauron. Not everyone can withstand its terrible gaze... From the central region of the spiral galaxy NGC 4151, the Eye of Sauron watches all of you!

[KB2SFH]

Don't forget the one on that repeater that said "he saw a couple of flashes of lightning and that was about it" And there was a time that they should have activated the net with tornado warnings for the area flying across the tv from NWS and they didn't while I was watching greenish tint clouds with a sight rotation in the sky going by at my house.

[kb2vxa]

Alas poor W2LID repeater, I knew it well. Around that time I was looking out my window in Lizardbreath at 3 waterspouts headed across Raritan Bay. Soon one made it to Staten Island aka the NYC borough of Richmond and tore up a few houses, rare but not unheard of. A couple of years later listening to my scammer in West Creek I heard about one coming across Barnegat Bay headed east to Long Beach Island. I hopped in the VXAmobile with the Yeasu tuned to the same frequency and headed out there as it made landfall. I headed south on the island and soon came upon the two wrecked houses and a motel missing a roof, nobody was hurt and the twister petered out when it got to the main road that runs the length of the island. People were standing around commenting on how lucky homeowners on the seaward side were. You see, Matt Ryan isn't the only Tornado I know, the UK also has one, an A1 Pacific steam locomotive a few years ago built from blueprints making the A1 to A4 collection complete.

OK Cor, here's your spring.

[kb2vxa]

Pollen capitol of the world Charles? I've never seen anything like spring in West Creek, NJ where every morning the red VXAmobile was green until I was a block from the house, then it was red again. Sitting on the porch relaxing and passing the time suddenly my vision was obscured by thick clouds, surrounded by the edge of the Pine Barrens I thought we were in for a bush fire. I got up and looked around, no flames, and the next cloud that triggered sneezing and coughing didn't smell like smoke. Take one guess what those dense clouds were/are, it's not rocket science, but Elon Musk caused at least one traffic crash.

It's trying to rain right now, sprinkles and no sprinkles. That's a Southern saying, Trying To Rain.
Starting Monday it's supposed to cool down but still not down to January standards, and that's fine with me. Thing is, I get acclimated to the warm quicker than I get acclimated to the cold and this just throws everything off.

[edit]: Sources confirm. Expecting an early Spring this year in the SE. Mid to late February will see a warm up that will continue to trend upwards through March.

Still slightly below freezing here on the river delta. No cloud cover until tomorrow when it is claimed a buttload of rain is on tap for the week.
