You’ll have to excuse my analogy. I’m only half way through my laxative coffee. Enjoy the sun and warmth, as always …. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman19 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Finally found someone worse than Joe Bastardi. This guy is hyping the last week of the month as a snow and cold pattern for Baltimore and DC. Don’t know what alternative universe he’s living in but the pattern looks awful for snow even in New England at the end of the month.

jm1220 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Pretty intense tornado outbreak yesterday in the Austin TX area. Not quite around where I used to live on the SW side of town, but some heavily populated areas north of town (Round Rock which wasn’t tornado warned apparently as it went across I-35) and east (Elgin). Downtown dodged a bullet thankfully, it looked hairy for a while. The Jarrell 1997 outbreak was the last really destructive one around Austin. Several other intense tornadoes hit the area besides the huge Jarrell one, which would’ve been catastrophic had it hit 30 miles south of Jarrell. That’s the first outlying town in the northern suburban Austin county (Williamson County). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 The historic warmth in Antarctica was probably the most extreme global weather event this month. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Insane Antarctic warmth and nobody will notice because 0-10F is still perceived to be cold. Only when we get ridiculous heat in the states does anyone care. And for people to really notice we'd need a Pac NW style heat dome over the northeast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only when we get ridiculous heat in the states does anyone care. And for people to really notice we'd need a Pac NW style heat dome over the northeast. We seem to be entering a long term summer trend here in the Northeast that favors higher humidity over higher heat, at least extreme heat. The ridge over the summer is becoming steeper and centered further north over the last few summers, which results in the strongest heat overshooting this area to hit southern Canada and Maine. We have more of a southerly onshore flow that brings humidity in, not the westerly flow that drives temps up. Bluewave will have better stats but there has been a marked increase in 75 or higher dewpoint days over the last 5 summers or so. We’re becoming much more Florida like here. The downside to that has been the warming oceans that make us more susceptible to tropical systems and the tendency to have them steered toward us on the southerly flow rather than out to sea like usual.

I really want to monitor Antarctic temps at Vostok, Dome C and the South Pole like I used to but the two programs I used no longer work. One used weatherunderground data but since TWC took them over and instituted their greedy crapitalistic model they charge so much for getting the data that none of my programs use them anymore-- the only one which does charges 30 dollars a month (!) and the other one, YoWindow, no longer works because it required Flash and Adobe made that obsolete. Is there any way to monitor those locations in a desktop program anymore and store the data in a spreadsheet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibertyBell Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 By the way for anyone who doesn't know-- Concordia Station is actually Dome C. It is a most amazing place with skies as clear and stars as brilliant as what the Hubble Telescope experiences (or closest to it.) Vostok station has the coldest temps but Dome C is not far behind. Even colder than either is Dome A (which stands for Argus) which is at the top of the Antarctic Plateau, although it might be rivalled by Dome F (which stands for Fuji) and Ridge A.
