This sled is pricey but built very good and is extremely fast. I tried it on road to my cabin and I hit 22 mph on my phone and the typical cheap sled would probably do 10 mph. Next time I'm wearing helmet! Here is my childhood sled...I nearly died on it a few times during the 80’s. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A more substantial front and upper trough reaches the area around Sunday and a third system a few days after that. Each front and upper trough has colder air aloft. Looking at GEFS 850mb temps--forecast members are clustered mostly in a range of -4c to -7c, but those temps are merely flirting with wintry weather if there is onshore flow. The upper ridge around 145w next Thursday shifts to 160w into the last week of January and we see a series of colder upper troughs with a lot of over-water trajectory. That looks like a good recipe for a low snow level and great skiing but not a lot of anguish for the lowlands. 19 "not a lot of anguish for the lowlands." Geeze.

Most of the USHCN data records are poisoned beyond repair, and there seems to be little interest developing a surface station based data record away from urban/suburban locations.

Has anyone claimed the observer warming is solely an artifact of UHI? Because I certainly haven’t. And the “corrections” referenced in the article aren’t for UHI, specifically. In fact the homogenization procedures are quite perplexing at times, and the net effect of all “corrections” has been to quadruple the rate of warming in the raw data (and to *increase* it with respect to time). 1 1 Quote Personal Weather Station: NOAA: https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/timeseries.php?sid=F3819&num=168&banner=NONE Wunderground: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62/graph/2019-08-23/2019-08-23/daily Link to post Share on other sites

The whole man is causing it theme is highly flawed. Very high chance the planet would be warming right now even if man wasn't here.

Skagit Weather 656 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 I really appreciate the Pivotal Weather update and the fact we can now see snowfall out to 384 hours on the GFS. Tropical Tidbits has shown that for a while, but it doesn't zoom far enough and its resolution is terrible for the Sound. Maybe the update isn't good for the weenie inside me, but it's fun to be able to see the "fake" snow predictions change with each run.

Get those coal plants back online boys nothing we do matters it’s all about timescale!!! Exactly. This whole "we've been warming for 20,000 years" argument is ridiculous. No one with a brain denies our climate changes naturally - but it's at a MUCH slower scale we've seen in the last 100 years. You are completely ignoring the concept of 'rate of change' in your posts. If the only indicator of warming were temperature increases in cities around the world, you'd maybe have a valid argument over trying to dispute that comic. But as a whole, there's no question we are warming at an unnatural (and unprecedented) rate. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
