It can be like 50 out with full sun and the interior will bake. I've wondered if it's b/c there is no tint on the windows. I know leather seats can do this but I don't have leather. Broken crank handles on the windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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.

dendrite Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Some of the models probably get some flakes down to the sfc here too. The GFS sits the deformation band over me. We'd probably flirt with a 34F snow/catpaws with -2C 850s and that lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That setting runs (slightly) the AC compressor in most cars, should be sufficient for the current wx. We rarely use the car's AC except on the hottest days or for a couple minutes to cool a hot interior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha Quite an interesting observation and also an intriguing question. Perhaps there is some sort of decadal variability going on, but why are things happening the way they are...in that it almost seems to happen at about the same time of year and where is the "seed to the beginning"? Perhaps the culprit is within the transition zone between the stratosphere and troposphere. Downward propagating eddy's within the lower stratosphere are perhaps becoming more chaotic...and when the atmosphere should be "relaxing" and this is resulting in a "bubble" up of anomalies at the higher latitudes. I think I may have briefly touched upon this in a "thinking out loud" post yesterday but maybe there is some sort of disruption going on within the Hadley cell circulation and momentum transport/flux is being disrupted between the Poles and equator?

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 - 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.
