ORH_wxman Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I heard that GHG emissions actually make the earth colder and more wintery, except in summer. Epic cold in winter and scorching heat in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Just like thermodynamics in Tolland, it ceases to exist there. I did read a study that showed how AGW in elevated portions of northeast CT causes thermometers to read colder than the ambient temperature in the boreal winter and warmer than the ambient temp in boreal summer. The sample size was only about 10 years (since 2005), so caution was emphasized in waiting for more data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbutts Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Honest and knowledgeable people understand there is a huge amount of uncertainty when predicting climate. Politicians, media and the general public can't handle it. They want to know exactly what is going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did come across that, but saw it was highly scrutinized under peer review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 What about dews?more frictional coeff where real people work and live away from tarmacs...allows for more convergence and dewpoint pooling. Especially when paired with freshly watered, LESCO'd lawns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Well I will say a taste of far interior snowpack was pretty cool. It is nice to have it look like winter for so long, and not just with a skim covering either. This time of year is depressing. I know I probably sound disturbing with what I'm about to say, but I don't enjoy summer at all, unless it's a 80F day with 50s at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitinsvilleWX Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 ......I don't enjoy summer at all, unless it's a 80F day with 50s at night. Thats something I'll never understand about some New Englanders. Just like I'll never understand the love of endless snow and cold. I stay depressed Jan-april with a perk up in May. To me, last summer blew chunks for the most part, just as I expect this one will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitinsvilleWX Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I know a lot of transplanted southerners up here. It's intersting. We can deal with the snow and the cold and all that goes with it more than New Englanders can deal with the climate in south Texas. After a month of 100/70, you guys would cry for your mama. To us, 100/70 is a good day to do outside work or play golf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to adapt like any other climate. You go out with sun block on and lots of gatorade in your golf cart. Up here in the winter, we go outside with layers of long sleeve shirts, heavy winter coats, gloves, hats...stuff that is somewhat foreign to southerners.

Call me crazy. 96/70 is definitely nasty...I totally prefer 78/50...but if you live in it or spend a lot of time in it, then you eventually get used to it. I'd probably go insane though after a while if we had 96/70 all the time. At least in TX, the heat was dry sometimes which wasn't bad. You'd get a few days of 95/50 which was actually pretty pleasant given that on the east coast, 87/70 can feel a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my dad and I went down to Pinehurst for his 60th in June of 2010, we basically got off the plane and went to play No.4. It was roughly 105/70. Kind of like a blast furnace at first, but after a few cold, watered down towels and some water you're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing more uncomfortable, than that sticky nasty feeling. Of course you know who would counter with the argument of that needed for tstms. To which I then say.

I went to tennis camp when I was younger for several summers in a row down in Texas. Playing tennis in 100F heat is something that will get you acclimated to it pretty fast. Either that or darwinism takes over when everyone starts collapsing of heat stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 85/62 is my sweet spot Perfect late spring thru summer day is starting off in the mid-upper 60's with dews and ending up near 90 and the dews creep up to the low 70's during the mid-late morning..and then we bang some storms out in the early evening. then do it all over again day after day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
