stu Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I just swapped the snowtires off my two vehicles. This was the first year they proved completely useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are good for grip below 50. Summer tires that are cold when it’s cold out are like driving on ice. Going to take my winter tires off in the next week or so.

All I have to say about that pretty much. The solar cycle (even more extreme examples) contributes a small amount to the overall climate when CO2 forcing is becoming so large a contributor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfa Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I swear I’ve been hearing and reading about an impending solar minimum + mini ice age since the mid/late 2000’s when I first started getting into weather/climate. Meanwhile the planet has continued to warm right before everyone’s eyes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 For you bird folks out there, I have a Rose Breasted Grosbeak and a Baltimore Oriole at my feeder these days. Is this exciting or run of the mill birds around here? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle W Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 when we have low sun activity like the Dalton minimum for 25 years maybe then the earth will cool a bit...the year without a summer came during that period with help from volcanic activity...

It's also still actively debated whether it was even a global cooling event. Many climatologists argue that it was limited to Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orioles usually come for fruit, like orange quarters or even jelly, while Grosbeaks are seed eaters more likely to chow down on sunflower seeds or maybe peanuts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how flying insect and bird populations are decreasing elsewhere I'm seeing exactly the opposite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have planted flowers that attract birds and am really excited about how much they are around. and they sit in places really easy to photograph, good subjects for my new cameras Nikon P900 and Olympus OMD EM10 Mark 2 with the 75-300 lens.

bluewave Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 A great push of spring migrants finally arrived with the warm front late last week. It took a while to get a favorable SW flow for migration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
