CoastalWx Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Leaf out proceeded nicely even with the cool temps it seems. Oaks have small leaves, but certain species still running behind. Hardwood maples just buds..probably like the ones PF and Lava refer too. he Norway maples are totally leafed out. Have lots of those around here, so at least it looks like warm season.

Expand I don't have it cranked the entire time. I drive around for about 10 minutes without music to hear for anything...although I know next to nothing about cars but I keep up with maintenance and all. got my car at 38,00 miles and just about at 101,000 miles and the only "significant" issue I've had is when a tire pressure sensor went. And just recently my right speed senor just went as well. I've never had check engine light come on. Got new brakes and tires last summer too.

It seems intuitive there could be, with budgeting heat source and sink across the planet during transition seasons; if so... intuitively it could perhaps be chicken and egg thing when it comes to momentum - Expand There almost certainly has to be. In one of my classes (I'm pretty sure it was Oceanography) we briefly touched upon tropical activity and global warming. The last several years we have seen tropical cyclones seem to get to a specific area and completely explode and take off. The thinking is that we are seeing an excess of energy being built up at the tropics and this is enhancing such activity. Now...let's go further with this "excess energy" build up at the tropics... In order for the global energy budget to be maintained, there has to be some distribution of this energy to the pole and it would have to be some amount to provide balance. what if this energy shift is happening like a rubber band snapping...where the transfer of energy is not balanced and its being "slung" towards the poles. idk...really no one answer and just so many moving pieces and things to consider.
