LibertyBell Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 49 minutes ago, 40/70 Benchmark said: GW is definitely real and anthropogenic to some degree, but the thing is the majority of it manifests nocturnaly during the cold season. Yes, it is absolutely causing more frequent positive departures during the day, but it's often resulting in situations in which we register large mean monthly anomalies despite a relative to dearth of really warm daytime hours. January 2021 was another great example. Same thing in the summer, Ray. A lot of it has to do with more moisture in the air and more rainfall, which keeps overnight lows higher. The worst possible combo for me, in the summer I want dry and hot during the day and lower temps at night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'm wrong. SO2 balloons have already been launched, still in the testing phase, but expect this to be deployed every year starting around 2024. It's not a good thing but it is what it is. Sucks for us stargazers too, because it will make the skies more hazy and add to the light pollution issues (which also impact health and the environment) which we already have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, Sulfur Dioxide seems like the first go to, with multiple ways to deploy it. Maybe Tambora or Krakatoa will let off a big one to give us a little help. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then we have a real volcanic eruption …I don’t know … ME6 or 7, having successfully cooled the planet already by a degree and a half when it happens… - If they’re already launching balloons then we’re already doing panic solutions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst possible combo for me, in the summer I want dry and hot during the day and lower temps at night. Yeah, super first world problem I had was with humidity this past summer. No AC at my place, and the damp chaser system on my grand piano is busted. Not only did the piano end up going wildly out of tune, the key slip swelled up so bad that keys began jamming and it became unplayable. Didn't feel like doing anything about it over the summer but it has since gone back in tune (for the most part) and the keys aren't jamming against the slip anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 And by the way… Elevated storage of atmospheric water vapor is the first thing the most primitive climate models began predicting, and that prediction has only gotten more excessive over the sophistication of the science/decades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my rather childish ambitions (and there are many) is to plant some more, let's say, unusual specimens in the yard. I'd really like to see if a Tulip Tree could grow - I've never seen one in New England but I know they're around. I'd also like to see how well a Douglas Fir would do. My parents planted some kind of Magnolia in Pepperell, MA and it would blossom beautifully every spring, but I think the poor thing only managed to grow from about 3ft to 5ft in 15 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love pianos but never owned a grand piano, it sounds like a lot to maintain lol. I love their sound though. I have an electronic piano and I download different kinds of piano sampling sounds onto it and I always pick a sampling of grand pianos because their sounds have the deepest most genuine timbre.

AstronomyEnjoyer Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 00z GFS nightly clown map for the weenies (myself included). Nearly all accumulation south of the White Mountains is from a storm that impacts New England at around hour 280. If nothing else, hopefully this helps lend credence to the idea that we will be entering a favorable pattern mid-month. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnitedWx Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 9 hours ago, WinterWolf said: Western Maine, and northern Maine is a fabulous place to sled….if you’re big into sledding, it’s top notch. I guess I just can't even imagine needing a guide on such a simple trail system in an area like ME, NH or VT. Maps are great and it's impossible to get lost really. We'll never ride NH ever again because of bad experiences in the past. Really irritating to be stopped and checked every other town by law enforcement. Maybe it's changed, but not worth it for us to find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'm wrong. I mean aren’t we already doing that? Green hydrogen, carbon capture and underground storage, switching to renewables, etc. No none of them are at scale because no one wants to pay for them. Two problems exist: 1. Whole economies are dependent on fossil fuels. 2. The Paris Agreement was signed with the ambitious goal of 1.5C…. Well guess what… as Tip mentioned, the planet is basically telling us we’re already there. So while today’s solutions aren’t the extremes you are thinking of, large scale climate engineering is all happening, it’s just not happening fast enough. So I suppose in the end you Re correct, we’ll probably drop a nuke into Krakatoa. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
