I'm pretty sure that everything North of Kansas is colder than us in the winter. Just look at the climate data for places like Nebraska and Iowa in the winter. Even northern Missouri gets colder than us which is crazy. The ocean moderates tf out of us here. I can definitely see why some people like New england better with the massive amounts of snow in the blizzards, but like I said I find those high wind blizzards in the Midwest to be fascinating. Like a white hurricane. 

Snow melts the next day most is wind blown into the woods or against buildings. Flat non descript land

A nice August morning out there as we extend the warm season. 

Rain can go away too much to do outside to prepare for a classic New England winter. Love the snow capped look up north already. Its coming

It's kind of unfortunate that I've always been so fixated on extreme weather considering the fact that I live in New England. Other than the west coast it's probably the worst area of the country for a severe weather enthusiast. Great Lakes and Plains regions get tornadoes and a lot more snow, southern states get hurricanes and tornadoes, Rocky mountains get a lot of snow.

New England much like the west coast has such a temperate climate that extremes are naturally rare. We all get excited over every mundane nor'easter and 40 mph wind gust because it's all we can get. Even the winters don't produce snow like they used to which was the one thing that we had going for us. Outside of a few random days in January or February, November through April is cloudy or raining, with maybe 20% of days having sun but nothing interesting. Summers are hot and humid but never produce big severe like other areas do. I can go on and on but yeah basically it sucks if you like extreme weather. If you love San Diego but like it colder with more rain come to New England.

Well I don't know if that's all true. We certainly have had our share of violent storms and severe winters. Recency bias.

Good morning. I have been lurking here since the amwx days. I am an educated (BA), elitest snob (prep school), blue collar (soccer coach), bass fishing goober who can only tell you that when they put weed-killer in the pond (Moosup pond, across from Ginxy), it destroys the fishing…anybody want to challenge that science?
Let it go fellas, it’s like arguing that our politics are normal right now. 
And Rev, you’re still the f’n best. Fo LFC

We still need to hook up. They put weed killer in? That sucks. Biggest bass of my life caught there 8 lbs.

Yesterday was a dark day for the forum. With violent outbursts and venom . A dark and doomsday scenario very similar to what the once great city of New York will soon experience. A real shame what went on.

Had .40 overnight . More than expected. Onto tracking the snowstorm next weekend. 
 

 

Only .21 here. Lol at all the out of towners chirping in. Built it they will come.

Snow down here before Tday melts the next day. Would love to see a wintry progression to the snow line with cold snow starting late November. Stormy days coming up with mountain snows. Pretty much average for now.

I didn't say anything untrue 

There's nothing elitist about subject matter that you either don't understand, or just don't believe in.  Either way... .  You've always been a truculent insufferable blue collar nimrod with clear resentment issues over your station, who's also routinely lied about your env sci creds over the years - made patently obvious whenever you type - and then hide over the internet when being disrespectful.  If someone has clad argument other than abstinence, I'm sure the consensus here will be glad to engage with them.  You you and him ...and people like you are on the wrong side of history and truth.   

How's that for elitist - eat shit. 

Lol  Tip I am a proud graduate 1993, The University of RI, Environmental Science degree College of Resource Development.

The blue collar tag just says it all. My work is done here.

The rich irony of calling someone a doomsdayer, and accusing someone of group think, when you've been the one (on several occasions) to encourage people to stock up on canned goods at the mere mention of civil or political tension. 

Wut

my perspective is somewhat different, it seems to me that "what went wrong in America" is too many Americans have rejected science and stopped believing scientists in the last 30 years, which is odd, since the scientists today know so much more than what was known 30 years ago

Because every scientist doesn't agree with all of the climate disaster group think? Many many very well educated scientists have don't agree with current media driven group think.

Maybe but all the condescending bullshit added. You have been  doomsdayer for the 20 years I have known you. You are an extremely likeable person in person but you don't post like you speak. By the way an amazing stat.The world has had an incredible reduction in climate caused deaths. The agricultural boom is allowing more people to thrive, more Co2 more agriculture. There are positives and we as humans adapt quickly. I have zero sympathy for people who bult on swamps barrier beaches.  The world isn't ending we are evolving with it.

we are polluting the atmosphere we all rely on for life, I imagine that makes all of us somewhat uncomfortable, to some degree 

Don't know your age but you ain't seen water and air pollution unless you lived in the 60s. Awful air and water

that's why we shouldn't call this a science forum, people "choose to believe" without the desire or intent to hold those beliefs up to the intense and focused light of the scientific method

 

This post is from a guy who ignores science occurring in real time. Good lord

What is your reticence in accepting this very simple, objectively real fact that anthropomorphic C02 forcing is causing an acceleration of warming?  

You either lack the mental capacity, or you are fucking with us...either way, this grows tiresome and in fact - it matters that it is growing tiresome, because people like you, not respecting the peril the world is facing, are ultimately a detriment to finding a salvation from and panacea for this crisis. 

I'll explain this once in simple words:  Yes, obvious records reveal that climate varies naturally over a wide range of time scales, but never as fast as since the Industrial Revolution. And as others have directly described in no uncertain terms, this has been verified by atmospheric chemistry to be 1:1 correlated to  C02 surplus that cannot be explained as originating from any other source. 

Moreover, "normal variability"  ( to which you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground frankly because you have no accredidation to demonstrate otherwise ) cannot explain the observed warming since the 1950s - until the C02 humanity is responsible for is factored.  Hook line and sinker.  Case close.  It is therefore among the most extremely likely scenarios known to statistical math, > 95%, that human C02 ( and actually there are also other industrial out-gassing that contribute, btw) the dominant cause of that warming.

There is no other cause.   Global Warming is happening because of anthropomorphic forcing.   

The beauty of all this is that it is true whether you believe it or not.  

Please this is exactly what I am talking about. What an asshole

What has triggered the sudden increase in CO2 from baseline over the last hundred or so years then? And there’s no sign of it leveling off. In theory a warmer atmosphere from more trapped heat can hold more water too…hence the higher dewpoint levels.

But you have been a fan of the sediment and ice core data in the past and they have ways to determine the annual CO2 from those layers. Like the graph I posted earlier shows, it’s pretty much ranged from 200-300ppm over the last 800k years. So 425ppm and steadily climbing isn’t normal variation…at least it isn’t to my eyes.

Nice on the coop door. I’ve been wanting one, but I’m always afraid something will fail and it will open up at night. My birds are molting hard right now. Big winter incoming? I got them all winterized yesterday.

Looks freaking good Brian .The hoop coop and mid construction.  Don't have the latest but we have the door up nesting boxes attached finishing up insulation and interior cedar planking

Data is not left or right, it's data. 

Its more the condescending elitist manner that defines some here. Fucking science constantly evolves what we think to be true scientifically sometimes isn't.  I know the earth is warming but there's always the yin and yang theorem. It would be nice to read more discussions rather than I know all because I am scientist. Its what went wrong in America.Ya know some of us deplorables can think rationaly

I don’t even want to debate warming or melting. Can we all just agree that the CO2 isn’t normal? Can we at least try to get that back down to the baseline? It shouldn’t be a partisan thing. We’re all science people here. 

So parts ppm got it. Hey maybe look elsewhere as well before putting all your chicken eggs in the basket. Why does it have to be one thing. Underwater volcanoes, the sun output, water vapor affects on night time lows etc. We can discuss rationaly. Not laugh or demean (Scooter)

By the way finishing construction of new coop and connected hoop coop. Getting there new solar auto door light sensitive or programmed.
