We Could Talk About The Weather

Well, SF is more in the middle than the other end but, regardless, should you by chance decide to take in the TJ donkey show or something and end up down here in the southwestern corner, let me know. I'm good on the Zed (heh heh heh).

Ahem. There's no comment I can make about that that won't get me into some kind of trouble...

Thank you. For some reason, I used to hang out with the West Coasters in College. And as far as the picture, Popsicles do that to me too...;)

Beautiful day today in the Ozarks. Temp in the FM band, gentle breezes.
Lots of clovers for some reason--big ones. Found 2 four-leafers so far. :)

Our kitties are almost 5 weeks old. The nursing must be 'getting old' for Mama,
yesterday she placed a headless rat in their basket. Today, 2 have climbed out,
but still hesitant to exit the toolshed. One or two have sampled the Kitty Chow.

Temps in the upper 30s in the mountains here this morning. It hits the 60s every day, but feels like 45-55 with the gusty winds. I hope it gets hot soon and stays there.

Taking the Wayback machine to early March...

That might be a factor here too Cor. NOAA is already warning of an El Niňo summer possibly even winter. We tend to get very hot and stormy in the Eastern US when that happens.

NOAA is predicting a 50% chance of El Niño conditions developing next autumn.

A majority of weather forecasting models indicate that an El Nino may develop around the middle of the year, but it was too early to assess its likely strength, the U.N. World Meteorological Organization said on April 15.

Dr Wenju Cai, a climate expert at Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, said rises in Pacific Ocean temperature above those seen in previous El Nino years and the quick movement of warm water eastwards had raised fears of a significant event.

"I think this event has lots of characteristics with a strong El Nino," said Cai.

"A strong El Nino appears early and we have seen this event over the last couple of months, which is unusual; the wind that has caused the warming is quite large and there is what we call the pre-conditioned effects, where you must have a lot of heat already in the system to have a big El Nino event."

If not, the Aussies think it is close to happening. El Niño? Not so much a matter of if, but how big. Bigger is better. Especially if you're a Californian.

FWIW, NOAA has upped the chances of an El Niño condition developing to 60%. We've got a new roof going on in two weeks.

FWIW, NOAA has upped the chances of an El Niño condition developing to 60%, so up yours..

There, fixed it for you.

Heck, I know what you mean. The thing is that we all know that NOAA has been walking on eggshells so as not to disturb people who don't believe in climate change. Soooo... they tend to be behind the curve in ways that the Aussies, the Kiwis and others aren't.

Well you're welcome to it. As far as I'm concerned its hot enough for me now. Let me get way up North first and then you can have all the blazing heat you want. As long as I don;t have to be in the thick of it I'm okay. For me anything between 45 - 65 deg F is warm. Anything above 65 is HOT!!!

Why yes, yes it is. They tend to bear everything.
