Future radar went from snow till around 7 to a big hole in 1 hour. What the hell is going on? . there is no such thing as "future" radar, it's just another highly imperfect computer simulation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternLI Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 That's a curious case, 1972-73. Strong el nino in the midst of a ocean of la ninas. 70-71, 71-72 73-74, 74-75, 75-76 All La Nina. A couple strong ones too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherpruf Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 5 hours ago, Volcanic Winter said: May be an unpopular sentiment in today's day and age, but give the kids a damn break. They study / work hard enough in school, let them have a couple days per winter where they get to stay home and go outside with their friends and family. Being able to have classes at home is a tremendous advancement, but it can be taken too far IMHO. It's not a break; the days all have to be made up. I taught in 94 and went right through to June 30 without a break because Gov Whitman in her infinite wisdom threatened to withhold funding if we didn't. By holding classes online for half day it counts and doesn't have to be made up. If days are built in and not used ( as often happened in the 90's ) then school let out a few days earlier or days were added to spring break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternLI Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 1 minute ago, LibertyBell said: Looks like la nina is the normal base state of the Pacific Ocean Well, from the research I've read. It cycles. On many different timescales too. So you can have a la nina cycle like that where it's more heavily biased la nina. But that alternates too. Some periods are an El nino cycle instead where it's biased in that direction. There's 10 year cycles, 100 year cycles, plus others have been discussed. You still get both types during either cycle. That one is a stark example though. I just wonder how these differences play into how the atmosphere responds. I'm sure it makes at least some difference somehow. I also wonder if you could get some absolute monster events when these cycles line up just right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t anyone here thinks that future radar is anything other than a computer simulation. I just can’t believe how bad it is. It’s not like it’s forecasting days away it’s literally simulating what will most likely happen maybe 5 hours in advance and it can’t even do that. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 1888 may have been one of these absurd monster events....from what I read about 1888 there were monster storms that entire season in different parts of the country.

JustinRP37 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Skiing at Thunder Ridge today was pretty good. Schools closed for some reason so I took the day to get him in skis. Loved it.
