Phil Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Fair points. But it's also fair to point out that most of the ancient origin stories have about as much factual basis as the current popular scientific theories of origin. Where we, and everything else, originally came from is still a huge question mark that science is not able to answer. And many would argue it's the greatest question of all.Hmmm...that depends what you’re talking about. If you’re looking for the origin of all existence and reality (IE the universe et al), well, you have to stop thinking of “time” as some linear, forward-flowing medium within which we exist...in which case yes, the question is unanswerable/infinite. But as for why we/life exists on Earth..well that can be explained via the laws of chemistry and physics alone.

Phil Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 But I like rain... Then again, the lowland western PNW gets little in the way of interesting weather. Rain (particularly ARs) is about the closest we can get that happens on a consistent basis. That might explain why I like it so much. Even that has been lacking since May 2017, of course.In that case, wouldn’t you be rooting for something that *doesn’t* happen every other day? If it’s so common how is it “interesting”?

Phil Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 A lot of talk from some on here about the "raging +PDO" this year, but according to NCDC's data (which is the only updated monthly data I can find), September was exactly neutral PDO, August was actually slightly negative, and overall 2019 has been very close to normal (the -.50 in February has been the biggest deviation from normal): https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/teleconnections/pdo/ Per that data, the last time the PDO was raging positive was 2016...most of the 2014-16 period was quite positive.NCDC’s PDO climatology is pretty sh*tty since they went over to ERSSTv4. The JMA’s climatology and EOF for the PDO displays much more consistency of late.
