Note that the solar activity (solar wind, CMEs, etc.) is rather high right now, and in spite of what the Enviroweenies say, it gives us pretty wild swings of weather.
California is getting hammered with the Pineapple express, rain on top of all that snow now. They're screwed. Time for the Eastern folks now to Embrace The Suck!
Wrong never heard the word Extreme, bomb cyclone or history, but I heard the word weather, which was used for the 239 years. And, no red or white map instead of green or blue.
At least your forecast is somewhat consistent. Mine is bat shit crazy. They don't know what the hell I'm getting. Could be 2-4"........ might be 8-14". Welcome to the Northeast.
Yeah, I would say you have a point, Igor. Truthfully, the weather changes quite a lot around here. Most of the time, the "forecasters" have a rather poor prediction average.
My wife's work canceled for today, at this point I don't know if mine is canceled or not. All for 1 1/2" of snow. What a joke.
I've been saying it for years. When there is a "possibility' of adverse weather, local weather stations over dramatize whatever the situation (ice, snow, and especially tornadoes) for the sole purpose of ratings. Station managers play on the emotions, loyalty to the "trustworthy weather person", etc., of their viewers during these times inserting clips of past "WARNINGS" and damage caused by previous storms. One would think the world was surely ending. Some of these stations have earned their place in the "scare and watch hall of fame" right alongside of the "little boy who cried wolf" for me anyway.
Yep, that's why I can't stand to watch weather "news" any more. The most accurate way to determine your local weather is look out the window and see what's going on. The constant over dramatizing leads stupid people to not take precautions like staying off the roads when local highway and law enforcement departments are telling them to.
Been a weird winter here. I'm in Maine, well up into the 2-4" band. All the weather went under us this year. Most of the bullshit, too, now I think about it...
Ah ha! Finally one of the globull warming people's "prediction" is coming sort of true. I think it was 30 years ago when they firmly stated that the ice was going to slide off Greenland in 6 years. Well it's apparently going to slide off (finally), slide over Newfoundland and Quebec and stop over New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. And here we all thought they were full of shit.
Yeah, Old Man Winter just doesn't want to leave.

ReplyDeleteWeather is a construct of the white male patriarchy.

Did you mean to say, "Welcome to Spring in the Northeast!"??

...and let's NOT mention that they use the same forecasting models to tell us what the "weather" is going to be a hundred years from now.

Squaw Valley California (now called Palisades Tahoe) has received 648" (54 feet) of snow so far this year.
ReplyDeletewell it's 3AM and so far, just rain rain and more rain...the weather radar looks like the heaviest of it heading out to sea over gloucester...
ReplyDeletei think it's a hoot now that they name the winter storms. bunch of fukking drama queens, the weather people are the originators of fake news.

ReplyDeleteBingo, it's called weather but that is the way things are these days. Everything is extreme. Waiting for the boodshed to be extreme myself.
