PSA:
The NWS always appreciates observations, especially detailed observations that everyone on here is capable of giving. That can be done thru Twitter, as they often set up a feed for that, or the mPing app. That can include final snowfall amounts, when the snow starts/stops, precip type, dew point, etc
This helps them with short term forecasts as well as future forecasts as they can learn from them. A few years ago they had a freezing rain advisory for Leavenworth, but I notified
Indeed. They have actually found events so extreme that they are captured in tree ring data. Those would probably fry everything and put us back to the stone age.
Another thing to remember is past history tells us it's highly unlikely the sunspot will be as strong when it reemerges. The extreme solar storms are usually a one and done until many years later.
It will happen eventually. A Carrington event barely scratches the surface of what the sun is capable of.
