ORH_wxman Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Mish Michaels went to my alma mater for meteorology. Maybe 11-12 years before me. I met her at in 2002 at the storms conference. Very kind woman. She was always doing outreach programs around Boston helping kids get into science and weather. Tragic loss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both times it happened to me here was in early May. They just mangled them and bent the metal posts they were on as if they were a paper clip. The power it must have taken was impressive.

April is my earliest so I usually don't start bringing them in until 4/1. Hopefully I can bend it back into place temporarily until I can make up a new pole. Bastard.

I highly doubt the House passes this nonsense The other side of that is the rare snowless early December in Fort Kent on a drizzly afternoon.

Typhoon Tip Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I knew her personally ...though we hadn't spoken in years - life distancing... But I interned with Harvey Leonard back in the autumn of 1996 into the winter of 1997, a time when she was still on the noon desk working as a colleague to him, and Todd Gross ..et al. We shared many chats. The night crew typically showed between 4 and 4:30.... I was there by 3:30, hanging charts and queueing digitals such as MOS and NWS texts/alerts as part of the gig. But she often hung around for awhile and we talked about aspects that ranged, some personal ... and of course, much about the weather. She was just like us in so many ways, for the passion of weather phenomenon. Her big core was convection, which mine was at the time - we regaled stories of our youth. I witness an F3 tornado carve a canyon straight though the business district of Kalamazoo Michigan, when I was boy .. 1980, May 13th. She, the same...as a similar destructive vortex stung through her neighborhood. She was somewhat younger then I, when witnessing her encounter. We were in our 20s back in those WHDH days. But we felt there was similarities in our backgrounds like that... The reason I'm revealing this is to let you all know, that I can assure you, she was not a climate denier. What she was concerned over, back then, was the absolute attribution of human activities as being the only cause. She also was miss-construed and framed improperly for her views on Vaccines. But vaccines have now taken on the same knee jerk trial and conviction --> career assassination shit as WOKE and 'Me Too' - where people are so willing, almost recreationally, to ruin lives based upon precise accuracy of the "public impression of what facts are". I had not spoken with her beyond an email exchanges since ... 2007 I want to say - I had not realized it was that long ago, until this horrible news struck like a sniper bullet. I have been forced to ponder matters. It's very very sad to me, because we were on the friend side of acquainted, sharing space and colloquy on so many occasions. I can assure you, knowing who she was, as I did back then, she was fully capable and willing, if confronted with science and empirically based causality, of amending her perspectives on matters. Those climate views being bandied about, were from 25 years ago people. Her most recent gig was in fact going to be a climate specialist/journalist - it would not shock me, knowing who she was, that it would be where she would atone if need be. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 On 3/16/2022 at 2:22 PM, Typhoon Tip said: Yeah... this is my only peeve about it. I don't really give a ratz azz what happens otherwise with daylight in the winter, because it's not like I'm outside for any reason other than dashing between doors. There are supposed insurmountable issues to society but I find those arguments to be more if not evasive, really just being cow-tied to convention and/or personal wants, masquerading as hardships. If this were 1970s ... perhaps, but techno-cultural relativity gives something back to the other side of the debate. In this modernity there are ways and means to make it feasible. Not my only pet peeve. Even down at 30N daylight savings time in late October means kids walking to the bus stop at night, I know a kid about 15 years ago hit by the bus. End it altogether, don't make it permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
