But I think this was referring to the post I made to my friend Mark the other day that you weenied in which I wasn’t trying to tell him where to post, but rather where the rest of us were posting our obs so he wouldn’t have to feel like he was posting obs alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year as you probably know we had no peaches and very few plums or cherries on trees around here. The apple crop was also negatively impacted. My friend owns Headwater Cider and he could barely press last year. Maple syrup season is also going to suck if the temperatures are not getting below freezing at night. No apples at all last Fall where I live. The May 17th frost/freeze did severe damage. Some parts of Connecticut dipped into the 20's for several hours.

The amount of circle-jerking over the death of biodiversity and dumping of harmful chemicals straight into ground water and waterways is disgusting. Especially considering this a group of people who are supposedly more nature-aware than the general public. 1 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One picture or painting of George Washington's home back in the day showing a lush green lawn around a beautiful estate and America was off and running with it's obsession of a lawn signaling wealth and opulence. It said, "I am wealthy enough I do not need to grow my own food. Someone else can do it for me while we enjoy this manicured lawn." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened to see a little Canadian flag underneath the convection allowing models section of Pivotal. I don't think that was there before? *edit* - Maybe Pivotal found out about my fondness for garbage models and added that one to my account just for me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Yeah ...the telecon spread's are not exactly warm with no variation in sight. primer: warm patterns in early spring tend to synoptically self-destruct. They get kicked out of the continent and end up pooling in the NW-N Atlantic. That forces the -NAO. Heh, if you are a responsible-minded warm enthusiast with a modicum of longer vision, you don't want for these early "winter heat waves" Anyway, seeing the teleconnectors in fact dropping the NAO negative post the 9th has that historical element to back it. But it is not just the -NAO. I mean, the -NAO can be biased over the eastern limb for example. When that happens it's more of a factor for W/NW Europe. Very recently, the ensemble means have retrograding positive anomalies (500 mb hgts) from Greenland through the D. Straight - it's a long way out but that is very tentatively in support of a more westward blocking. Meanwhile, the PNA flat lines - the trend of which extrapolates to it becoming positive. At that point ...warmth's rug is likely pulled. So we'll see. This could all wholesale change. March is one of the more unstable months of the year due to seasonal change. The t-spreads discussed above actually had backed off yesterday, but have come back since. So those broadly canvased indicators are showing some instability. oy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
