[CoastalWx]

Just had a quick pop-up light shower from these summertime CU clouds. Nothing abnormal there lol.

[WinterWolf]

78 degrees here. Gorgeous out.

And this is how CC is able to mask itself in the populated sectors. 

Most people just see these days as unusual warm but pleasant whereas they'd be alarming in June-August

can it just be warm without climate change?

Really? Lol. So on Nov 2, 1950, when Concord NH hit 80, was that CC too... 72 years ago? Give it a break. Who cares what it is… it’s beautiful out.

Not really a debate for here, but it's more so the fact that we've challenged or broken all time November highs in 2020 and then again in 2022. The changing frequency of anomalous heat is more noteworthy than the heat itself (at least around these parts).

Great point!

Even a great day on the Isles of Shoals. 70 out there.

When you break records, some of them all-time highs every year or two then it's not just a random warm period. 

It's getting to the point where every year all-time monthly or daily highs will get broken from just the year before. Also when's the last time you had two below normal months in a row or honestly even one. 

On the plus side the Euro is looking nice by next weekend 

[WinterWolf]

So what is it when we broke a record in 94 for snowfall in a season, and then did it again in 96..that’s CC too?  Then there was 2015.  Oh and in the 70’s it was a said a new ice age may be starting…??  
 

The record keeping(dataset) is too short imo..150 years or so worth of valid records vs 10’s of thousands of years of climate…ya call me a lil skeptical.   50 yrs from now it’ll be some other new theory.

Personally I like the extremes like this. It’ll all balance out in the end anyway. 

[Torch Tiger]

77.1 for the high, currently 76.8

[Hoth]

Absolutely awesome day. We install, we fill the pool, we go braless.

Maybe tickled 80?

Lol…you ain’t kidding,  just took the humidity out of my place by switching on the central air for a brief period. It was sticky and clammy in the house.

Warm records though vastly outnumber cold records.  I think the issue is it’s a) become political and b) people are tired of hearing it because it triggers a secondary “why” or “what does it mean” aspect.  People also bring it up in a manner that annoys folks.

We are undoubtably getting warmer, we don’t have to argue about the why or what it means… but it is what it is.

We can still set cold records, but it gets warm a lot easier and it continues to be so. It is what it is, doesn’t have to make anyone mad, upset, sad, happy… it can just be.

Point a for the win...it's political...you can agreed that there is undisputable evidence that over the period of records we have access to (150 years??), the temp graph is up and to the right and also agree that not every so called "extreme" weather event is CC rearing it's ugly face.  

 

More importantly, GEFS says snow guns on for the season starting next weekend...Game on.

[STILL N OF PIKE]

I just threw a plastic can in the regular garbage thinking I can do my part to bring me another stretch of 70’s next November 1’st

There are two answers that apply to this.   

1    Yes  ...how?  it's mathematically proven that warm air holds more water vapor.   As the planetary atmosphere has warmed over the last 30 years, vapor content has been measured to be more.  That's proving the math prediction.  But that is interesting in the vicinity of mechanisms that cause precipitation.  Snow and rain results get heavier.  And that is true in winter too - one has to understand, that winter storm snowfall is happening because there is an injection from a warm/humid source.  If that source has more water, it will snow more. Viola! bigger winters/ storms.  

2    climate change is not happening along a linear trajectory.  What that means is... it's been accelerating. Crude model: if you have 2 heat waves during year one, you'll get 4 during year five ... 8 during year 10.   That's just an example, mind you, of the acceleration.   In real life, it is what ever it is, but it is not linear.  That acceleration, makes it bad for a lot of obvious reasons.  1970s do not apply, because it's apples and oranges due to the being prior to a lot of the curved upward trajectory. 

When I hear deniers... try to supply that narrative, it irks me that it doesn't come off as skepticism. It sounds tactically divisive because the word choice and turn of phrase is clearly avoidance. That masquerades as skepticism.

The current paradigm of humanity is doomed.  What ever emerges on the other side will be enlightened and better off, or stopped existing.

Yup it’s the phrasing of it.

If someone is like “hey, all these warm records seem to be a good indication that we are in a warming period of our natural environmental system” people do not respond the same as if it’s said otherwise.

That evokes a different reaction than the phrase “climate change.”  Which has this insinuation that we need to take action.

Even in your post it brought about the word “ugly”… it’s such a loaded phrase .  Nothing ugly about today.

Call it a global warm period, lol.

I’m putting a cinder block in the gas pedal as I leave my car in park with the hopes of 70s again next weekend.

Some forum members will tell you to instead leave it on in your garage and they’ll come over to inhale if it’s in the 70s again next weekend .

[dendrite]

New record high for CON today. They hit 78/79. Old record was 75 in 1994.

[rimetree]

Looks like we'll max at 77.7...definitely gonna win the powerball. DP hit 64 as well...nice summer day.

[powderfreak]

From BTV.

&& .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... As of 315 PM EDT Saturday...It`s been a record warm day across the North Country and Vermont with several climate stations breaking high max AND high min temperatures for the calendar day. We`ll have a breakdown of that later in a record report once the day ends.

The yellowjackets at the brewery are telling me this is strange for November. 
 

If CC leads to more of those mfuckers…

I’m not masquerading anything Tip. And I couldn’t care less if you believe one way or another. You have the right to believe as you wish. And so do I.
 

This could just very well be a warm period that happens every 3 or 4 hundred years, or every 3 or 4 thousand years. See, we just don’t know if that is what it is, because we only have a measly 150 years or so worth of records.  and that’s my whole point. May not be anything more than a periodic spike that happens in the vast long scheme of things…nobody really knows if this is the case, cuz we’ve only been keeping track for such a short blip of time. 
 

Again, I really don’t care. It’s does not worry me one bit. I’m not masquerading anything. I’m not denying anything…I just don’t think we have enough info during our short time of record keeping to be sure of anything.  That’s my take on this. And I will not discuss it any further, because it just doesn’t matter much to me what it is. 
 

It’s gorgeous out. It’s gonna get much cooler soon, and it’s going to snow this winter, oh and it’s going to get cold too. All is right with the world. That’s good enough for me.
 

Now Let’s carry on with the more important things.

Tip, you should do a fiction book on climate change with the end being humans being wiped and out and whatever comes out the other end, your imagination is better than mine.
