powderfreak Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 This graphic out of CBS in Denver is like some Game of Thrones world. Way up NW will be freezing cold, then we will have land of fire, then winter snow, then more fire... 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting picture. This one was taken from a jet. At first it seemed odd the pyrocumulous didn't match up to the fire but this shows the same thing. Probably the same anvil and fire. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Hey heads up to Connecticut peeps my vet said that Fairfield County has reported the presence of Gulf Coast Ticks for the first time. They can carry spotted fever and some nasty canine diseases. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't seen much tick activity so far. Dry summers will help with that I guess. There should be an uptick (no pun intended) as we get into cooler and damper months. I hate ticks. I don't remember them being as big an issue when I was a kid, although Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever existed and a family member got Lyme in the early 1980s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an extremely dangerous surfing spot. I watched a show and they featured that location. What makes it so special is the underwater canyon that extends like 30-40mi offshore and the water is allowed to funnel into that spot creating these monstrous waves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard sell Any modeling is based on a decent amount of assumptions of behavior, from climate to health to economic models, so definitely use caution in any of those. It’s just another preliminary study that will evolve over time as it gets reviewed. The problem is it’s just such a sensitive topic right now that it’s almost impossible for anyone to read it in a truly objectively, IMO. At least it’s weather relevant factoring in temperature and precip to estimate indoor vs outdoor traffic .

It’s like modeling how much money in American health care costs are a result of the fast food industry...maybe this number? Maybe that number? Who knows? But the headline will be good: “Study finds the Fast Food Industry responsible for $100 billion in health care costs and accelerated the deaths of X number of Americans annually.” Modeling costs of negative externalities Is tough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close proximity, indoors, no masks, I mean we saw what that one wedding in Maine did recently. The party at Killington recently. If it happens, it happens indoors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
