HimoorWx Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Anyone else have insane amounts of wild grapes around this fall? Tons of them near the Route 128 train station in Westwood/Canton. Never noticed them before this year, but I've been tempted to pick some if I could fight thru the poison ivy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropopause_Fold Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 somewhat random banter: been reading a lot about this new IPCC report. does anyone actually care? does it change how anyone lives? i know it's meant for policymakers but still...aside from the crazy MET who cried and is now getting a vasectomy because of the IPCC report ( )....does anyone see a report on the news about IPCC projections and change their behavior / lifestyle?

powderfreak Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I want that image Here's one from up high on the mountain... looking due east with town down in the fog (I live down there somewhere) and then the 3,500ft ridgeline of the Worcester Range on the east side of Stowe. The fog is like a topo map... here it's filling in all elevations of 1,000ft or lower. Every piece of land you see is above 1,000ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Back to having big differences in the GEFS vs EC ensembles again. Look at the differences in AK. Quick glance at the MJO and you can see why the GEFS is doing what it's doing. Definitely some colder analogs now on the GEFS....2002 on their multiple times and even 2006. I'd still hedge strongly against a 2002 October though (and 2006). Maybe we get there late in the month, but I doubt 10/10-10/15 like they show. Maybe the GEFS will be right...we can recall back in February when they insisted on the more favorable pattern through late Feb and early March when the Euro ensembles wanted more of a torch. Turned out the GEFS had a rare victory. But I wouldn't bet them this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall them having suppport from the GGEM ensembles and they do actually side closer to the GEFS this time around, but I'm hesitant to hop on that train right now. The UKMO also tries to move along the MJO so I suppose it's not out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsnow Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the euro ensembles want to build back the heat after July? While the gefs did not show that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I know some people are pretty scared of the future but seems to me the majority view global warming in tempered terms. Education and awareness is important and all of us doing small parts to reduce pollution of air and water is vital but the vitriol in that report is not taken as seriously by most. Older people I think have trouble believing alarmists simply because of what we were told as youth what the Earth would be like in 2013. Out of oil, seas way inland, massive Cat 5 hurricanes regularly, Gulf Stream stopping, ice caps melted, massive heat related deaths and on and on. Now they moved the goalposts because somehow the oceans absorbed all the heat. Climate changes we know that. With the approaching solar minimum perhaps in a way few expect.

No they were actually pretty cool IIRC...they did briefly try and spike the heat way out in lala land on some runs in late July, but for the most part they showed us staying out of the heat. Many of us did bite on the long range warmth coming back around Aug 10th...but once we got to within 10-11 days, they backed off on that idea. They showed cool for the 2nd half of August.

This is total BS and shame on the leaders/Webmasters for playing politics with Websites. As an IT person, I know there is no technological reason why Websites can't stay up. You should put a notice saying that the content is not being updated, but the fact that you're able to display a "Website not available" page means that the server is indeed up and that a calculated decision has been made to block users from accessing it. They've done this to other .gov sites and it's just a means to play politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
