Weather WTF

[mongers]

Wow


I think I would literally die there.

MiM what's the smoke from?

[Caliga]

There are active wildfires all over the place in California right now, so I presume from those.

That or the Jewish population in the southwest just tooka big hit .

Looks like your average Doomidity haze to me.

[Jacob]

Looks like Beijing.

Yes this particular round of smoke is from a fire burning in the north rim of Yosemite. We've had smoke for most of the last two weeks as well from the American Fire, which seems to be burning forever. It wasn't nearly this bad until the Yosemite fire though.

[HVC]

The heat and humidity, it's back

[Ed Anger]

Yep, Doomtitty returned to Ohio. 

[PDH]

We has smoke like that in the Laramie Valley last year with the Colorado wildfires.  One day this huge orange/brown cloud of smoke just blew in and it was hell for many days after that.

Yay, my Jeep curse can't last forever!

The Farmers Almanac is calling for cold and snow to dominate the eastern two-thirds of the country this winter, ending what has been a stretch of relative snow drought.

In the mid-Atlantic, however, the forecast left it up in the air whether precipitation will fall largely in the form of rain or snow. The forecast says to expect "copious" amounts of either.

The biggest concern for snow in these parts lies in the first 10 days of February, the forecast suggests -- including the Feb. 2 Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey's Meadowlands.

"But even if we are off by a day or two with the timing of copious wind, rain, and snow, we wish to stress that this particular part of the winter season will be particularly volatile and especially turbulent," the almanac adds as a caveat.

Baltimore has yet to see even average snowfall levels since the record-setting 77 inches that fell in winter 2009-2010. Last winter, 8 inches fell, four times as much as the 1.8 inches of the previous winter but well below the norm of about 18-20 inches.

[Ed Anger]

Argh.

[CountDeMoney]

Eat me.  Global warming's gotta kick in the snow sometime, dammit. 

[merithyn]

You know, it's not the heat that really bothers me. It's the back-and-forth between 100F/35C temps outside and the 65F/17C temps inside that kill me. My sinuses are a mess, and now I'm crabby.

[Grey Fox]

Good, we need more snow this winter. The rivers needs replenishing.
