LowerGarfield Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Nothing much here. We had a cell roll through around 1245pm with some hail and wild wins for about ten mins. No thunder or lightning. It has been sunny but fun cumulus clouds have been moving west over the Blue Mtns which are to my south. Pretty boring day but enough to knock me offline partly through my shift so can't work right now. Was hoping to at least get some fun weather esp this time of year when fire isn't as much of a risk.

Yeah I'm a little surpised that Larry is so gun ho on an El nino later this summer I get that analogs may support it but the fact that the system is not very supportive makes it I think a hard call on exackly what enso does right now.

I work east coast hours and it’s a lot easier to face the day in the summer when it’s light at 5 am than in the winter when it’s light at 8. So I’m not a fan of that particular aspect of permanent dst. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
