Damage In Tolland

Hey guys, gals

Would anybody be interested in a home?

Soon my house will be on the market. I have to sell because of a medical condition and an Insurance Co. hellbent on denying any claim.

that sucks Don, sorry to hear that.

Thanks Steve,

I'm tired of fighting a broken system and a Union that has no more leverage. I called the Union 2 1/2 months ago asking that they look into getting by claim approved. Numerous calls resulting in no response. In the 11th hour I took a chance and emailed the President. He suggested and turns out started lecturing me of the finer points of AA and a good solid program. I had my answer on why they did not responed

 

So I have two doctors overriding the Insurance Co's. reason for denial. An MRI post-surgery which is inconclusive but does show 1 herniated and two compressed disc's. and here the kicker an EMG which the Ins. Co. doesn't even mention stating. The herniated disc is impinging on the nerve root, severe nerve damage on the rightside.

 

So here I sit in agony, not paid in over 3 months, railroaded and forced into early retirement, sell the house, get a lawyer and start over once I can (if) I can find relief.

  

DEWP are starting to drop, can't wait for those reading in Quebec

Working on the lawyer but have to get clear of the company get the monies rolling again then go after. I'm probably posting to much info. Electronic trails in any form might be used against. Anyways it's a weather forum and this has nothing to do with weather. A sincere thanks Steve for your response.

no problem Don, I wish you the best of luck in your fight.

Don , that's bull****. I seriously hope you fight those bastards. Yay capitalism.

I will Scott, thank-you. The denial is missing pertinent documents, predated BS. Going against Co's that are that big might take years in litigation, so be it. If eveything falls right (which it won't) I might be looking at a good chunk of coinage.

 

Sorry to waste the bandwidth. I consider many here friends and just venting.

So yeah, worldwide, May was warm. No surprise there anymore.

From NOAA:

"The combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for May 2014 was record highest for this month, at 0.74°C (1.33°F) above the 20th century average of 14.8°C (58.6°F). "

What is interesting though is that the Antarctic sea ice extent was the largest on record for May, while the arctic sea ice in the north was the third lowest on record.

Mmm... A theme (perhaps) carried over from the winter; January topped out in 4th place, overall, as the warmest January since records/re-analysis came to be. Despite much of the U.S. suffering in some epic cold waves, too.  Here we are with a tempered May (locally) and we're still left out of the GW party it would seem.  We've been in a kind of residual/vestigial +PNAP regime since the

-EPO winter ended.  That flow, regardless of the PNA (difference there between the two) has meant a kind of base-line pattern for a bulge in the Rockies and depression in the means over the OV/NE.  We take note that the NAO flipped predominantly negative when winter ended, too -- no accident there.   

 

It's coming though... We'll get ours and oh how suddenly this renewed meme will emerge that we're all doomed.  It will probably occur in July, and these extended Euro/GFS idea of placing a unilateral + 588dm height wall N of a ORD-BOS latitude will go ahead and trigger Washington to launch more aggressive legislation for environmental this, and taxing carbon that ... yadda yadda yadda. Too late.  Should have started that jazz back in the 1950s.   I suppose if there is any truth to that Anthropomorphic global dooming, any measure would help... But these things don't stop on a dime once the momentum starts rolling, either.  But I digress...

 

I read a paper ...last year or some years back, that the interior of Antarctic may in fact experience a cooling trend due to global warming. The reasoning is/was (paraphrasing...) that the region is a local cryosphere that is a heat sink.  The region around the Antarctic heats up faster than the interior, such that the ring of balanced geostrophic wind that circumnavigates the south pole (same as the mean PV over the N. pole) steepens. This speeds up the wind, causing a bit a centrifugal acceleration toward the N, that expands the diameter of the vortex. This cause more DVM and cold production in the interior, despite the warming rest of the globe.  

 

It was a fascinating read ... just not sure what happens next.  They also spoke of faster glacial motion being compensated by higher snow fall rates...  These seem on paper to be ways in which the system tries to maintain its self against the forces of change.  Eventually over time, some forces succeed in usurping that change, sometimes they don't.  It would be interesting to go into the future and see what the status of the globe's cryospheric regions are.   I once read a hypothesis that all of Greenland's ice cap could fail catastrophically...like, all at once.  Basal flow rates have been lubing the interface between the mile of ice and the bed rock at increasing rates since the 1970s.  Stations situated out amid the frozen expanse above, have registered quakes akin to 4.5 on the ..whatever scale they use these days.  Only to come to find that what they really experienced was "slide events".  They up and drifted some 20 feet all at once as the whole of the column underfoot ... moved!  

 

Imagine that?  setting of a global tsunamis that DOESN'T wash back to sea... Now that would be a headliner.

Spyder. What goofy things. Just get a Harley.

i thought about getting one before i moved to the city. test drove 2 different models, they ride very nice.

but i can see how others may not like them, you either love them or hate them. personally i can't stand Harleys, but think the spyder is pretty neat.

still thinking about getting a sport touring bike, but the funds are not exactly plentiful these days.

lol @ all the seasonal snow totals in signatures. like an addict counting his pills

 

 

Everyone's got their thing...some are addicted to posting snow totals, others are addicted to posting random dead ladies as their avatar.

 

Yet we all post on a weather forum.

The hits just keep on coming. My wx station (sensors) kicked the bucket. I've tried changing outlet, COM port, reboot. Toast baby! I suspect failure, crazy fluctuations for the past couple of months with frequency and duration increasing with each episode. Oh well....least of my problems, time for a Davis, there cheap and somewhat accurate after I get settled in somewhere.
