July 2017 Observations and Discussion

Recommended Posts

Haha, I told you a while back that my passion for fireworks rivals my love of snowstorms lol. Yes, permit is required although I doubt many obtain one. That was my main order, then I usually make a couple extra pickups whenever I make trips up there. I prepare months in advance and do it all by remote control now - makes for a much more enjoyable experience. The last few years have been picture perfect weather-wise. When was the last time you were up north?

That sounds like a phenomenal time and prob tops anyone I know who lights off fireworks. This is something up my alley and on my bucket list!

 

It's been years since I have been up north where you go. I normally head towards Castle Rock Lake area. I'd love to go on a fishing trip when the bite picks up later in the year towards early Autumn.

After yesterdays thunderstorms, the humidity has lowered and skies have become sunny with delightful temperatures. :D

@Jaster, this video coincides with your comment about your in-laws in Russia experiencing "the summer that never came"...

Nice find Tom! Love how it's mentioned that these rare summer snows are headlines over there, but our fake news media continue to hit the ignore button! I followed a couple more of his vid's and dude thumps on the ICC's (aka Gore & Co.) 2014 prediction of "the end of snow" (LOL) for ski resorts while the mountain west is reeling under their own endless winter this June that I don't see/hear about in my news outlets either. No agenda?? Yeah, right

@ Jaster

 

Did you get any thunderstorms late last night?

 

Oops! Meant to post this yesterday Niko. Yeah, we caught the edge of the bad stuff that rolled onshore near Muskegon and tracked SE towards Jackson. Avoided the damage and power-out conditions though, which I'm thankful for. Don't need that part tbh

DUDE!!  I thought I was bad back in the day! Are those legal where you set them off? Did you say in N Wisco? You order online direct from a wholesale outlet or something? What class is that anyhow?

 

Michigan only recently joined our neighboring states (OH & IN) in allowing Class C to be bought/sold and fired-off (on certain days around holidays). For most of my lifetime, you were illegal and risked some cranky person calling the cops on your fun. I remember buying when traveling to other states on vacation. It was like smuggled gold back then (well before the internet). Now it's everywhere, lol

So it's a bit of a gray area when it comes to legality. Fireworks are sold across nearly the entire state of Wisconsin, but permits are required to set them off. However, the state leaves it up to local municipalities as to whether or not they want to enforce it. I've been going up to Eagle River, WI for 30 years and everyone has their fun on the 4th - some (myself) more than others. In order to put on a show of that magnitude, I have to buy wholesale direct. Now that I do, I can never go back to retail. And I totally get what you mean about the smuggling part. I remember long ago crossing over the Indiana border and going to Sheltons and coming back with a trunk load. It was always such a relief once you made it back home, lol.

Sheltons!  Love that place...my brother and I used to always go there a few months before the holiday when prices were cheaper and take the trip into N IN.  BTW, Eagle River is such a beautiful place to experience the outdoors.  I'm itching to go back sometime soon.  My friend said he would want to go Muskey fishing later in the season.  One thing I would like to do is take a snowmobile trip up there during the winter.  Trails galore.

I like this met's temp forecast map for the month of July.  He's basing it off of the current atmospheric ENSO conditions.  It jives with the current status of the drought going on in the Plains and the pattern going forward.

I've been waiting for CPC to release it's July SST CA seasonal outlook but it hasn't came out this month yet.  Wonder why?  I'll keep you guys posted when it does.

 

Meanwhile, while we are all enjoying the summer season, I'll take a minute and provide a sneak peak into next Autumn/Winter.  The latest NMME suite suggesting a very similar pattern to what happened last year.  Keep in mind, this model has a warm bias.

By trunk full of smuggled gold, I meant this was truly rare stuff for a Michigander back in the day. Not sure when Sheltons started up but I don't remember seeing anything along the x-ways back in '90 when I drove via 94 out to Wyoming and found them for sale. Pretty certain I would not have bothered if they were available right across the state line in Indiana. And when I moved to S. Bend 20 yrs ago I'm not sure they were readily available then? Going back (pre-1990) you had to go to like TN to find them, at least for year-round outlets. I think March of '78 was the first time I bought in TN coming home from FL with my folks. Back then, even Class C was really potent stuff. A single firecracker could shred a hand. They passed that "max load" import law and fewer maimed people resulted. Prolly a good thing, LOL

He may be talking about the Arctic regions. Not sure. High latitude blocking during low solar suggests warmer winters in the arctic.

If you take a look at the SST's in the NE PAC, it looks very similar to what happened last winter. That's going to be a critical player and something to pay attn to over the next few months as to how it evolves.

Several seasonal forecast updates coming this week:  CPC/JAMSTEC/JMA...should be interesting to see if the JAMSTEC maintains its     run-run colder winter outlook.  Curious to see what the latest EURO ENSO update will look like as well.  Alright, that's enough posting for now.  Enjoy the spectacular weather folks!

We had trees knocked down here in SEMI and some power outages. Small hail was also reported along with 2 funnel clouds. It finally got active yesterday in terms of thunderstorm activity. :D

That would be very disappointing. :wacko: :blink: Tbh, I have a feeling this upcoming winter will be a good one. Two years in a row of boring winters is enough. Could there be a 3rd winter to follow in terms of being snowless and mild?! Hope not. :unsure:

He did also say look for early snowstorms in late Sept and Oct. Presumably in places where that happens like the mountain west. Not in the S GL's

Gorgeous evening on tap here in SEMI. Wow, for this time of the year, its a given. Currently clear skies, RH @ 35%, DP @ 51F and air Temp @ 72F and dropping into the 50s overnight. A night to let mother nature bring in some fresh air. :D

I'm off to do my Sun morning 4mi hike. Current temp 92F with a 62F DP! Thankfully, it's a bit overcast. Highest DP's of the season out here so far. Many storms formed over the northern and southern valley. Hope I can score some today!

I just got home from Yosemite. What a expirence hiking in 15ft of snow and getting attacked by bees. 0702171423a.jpg 0702171247.jpg 0702170928e.jpg

Stunning photos! That sounds like an epic hike. Wish I could have been there doing the same! How does the saying go, "A picture is worth a thousand words?" That is an experience of a lifetime. Much better than my hike this morning of a new PR 5.5 miles with a temp 98F and 62F DP!

It was truly amazing, navigating was a bit rough though. We ended up off trail for a day or so.

 

98F hike? Now that's not too pleasant.

Getting off trail could be a bit scary, esp in the mountainous terrain, unless it was planned of course. B)

 

Monsoon season over here can get pretty humid.  The high temps lower into the low/mid 100's but you get the humidity.  I actually don't mind the more humid airmass.  It's a change in the weather that excites me over here, esp when its been bone dry and hot for the entire month of June.

Yeah, some of the members of my group were freaking out a bit. I knew where we had to go, but it wasn't following the trail. I wouldn't say we were lost, just misguided. As long as one has a map, compass, and coordinates one can get out of most things. I was more worried about falling into a buried stream.

 

You know how people say dry heat is better? I've always thought the opposite.

Dry heat is indeed better for those who suffer from arthritis or bone/joint problems.  Many who come here experience a better way of life due to the dry heat.  However, don't let it fool you, it still is D**n hot!
