Highly Unusual Bomb Cyclone to Hit Entire Atlantic Coast of U.S.

Cold!

So much for "the end of snow" and all that other nonsense.

This is Cape Cod Bay:

If they have artificial gravity so that they can walk around their space ships, why can't they strap an artificial gravity widget onto their bombs, too?

Even dumber, I heard there is a silent sequence in the movie. Movie operators had to tell the audience that there is no sound in space, so they wouldn't riot when the "sound went out".

Firefly was always running into chance encounters with other space ships. Absolutely *no* idea how vast and empty space really is.

That sequence is all of fifteen seconds long. Must have been a pretty rowdy crowd already to riot over it

Ther are also sound errors in non-space movies.

For instance when shooting with artillery at some remote target such as a ship at a few kilometers distance, the sound of the hit is heard simultaneously when the flash from the explosion is seen. In reality, there should be several seconds from the flash is seen before the sound is heard. The same applies to sounds from lightnings at a distance.

That is a real risk with a diesel car below -25 C, in which the fuel filter can be clogged after a few minutes. Using arctic diesel fuel intended for very low temperatures, solves the clogging problem..

However, getting the diesel engine started in the first place can be problematic, if the car has been out during the night and you do not have a block heater.

John Larkin gets all his climate change information from denialist web-sites.

The Younger Dryas were an incident during the earth's switch from the end of the most recent ice age to the current interglacial.

When the Laurentian ice sheet slid off into the North Atlantic and melted, it seems to have turned off the Gulf Stream for 1300+/-10 years.

" The change was relatively sudden, taking place in decades, and it resulted in a decline of 2 to 6 degrees Celsius and advances of glaciers and drier conditions, over much of the temperate northern hemisphere."

The rest of the planet kept on warming up - one suggestion is that the equatorial heat that had been warming the north Atlantic warmed up a chunk of the southern ocean instead, and boiled off a lot of dissolved CO2.

There's no contradiction between local cooling and global warming, except in John Larkin's feeble mind.

Only if you're sailing downwind, and not necessarily even then. A fast sailboat on a beam reach can go faster than the wind, and ice yachts certainly can. Combining the two velocities can make the apparent wind much stronger on board.

It's supposed to go below zero F here tonight, which is the coldest I've ever seen in the 30 years I've lived here.

The winter of '87-'88 was bad too--it started with a big ice storm on October 6th that broke all the deciduous trees, and we got down to almost 20 below. However, the latter was up in the tundra-covered mountains of Putnam County, which is always colder than anywhere nearby.

Everything plowed out and clear by 6 AM around here. Next

If it's any consolation, Buffalo is on the same lattitude as the south shore of France.

Here's a great lecture.

Green Tyranny Rupert Darwall examined the origins of the climate change movement.

Southern France has a *lot* more to look at.

Last winter there was about 80 feet of snowfall on the sierra crest. Many trees were broken

and many were bent

I've noticed that roughly half the trees up there, even big old ones, exit the ground with some sort of curve, before straightening up. Looks like a lot of trees were Benders in their youth.

October 4th, IIRC (son's first birthday). I was living in Duchess county at the time. We had 10" of wet, sloppy, snow. With the deciduous trees in full leaf, they didn't fare well. It sounded like a war zone, outside, with all the trees snapping. The Tachonic Parkway was a total disaster.

Lol, in upside-down world where geriatric old millionaires and billionaires who own just about everything on the planet are subject to "tyranny." What a bunch of habitual, pathological dissemblers. "The Heritage Foundation" turns more tricks for quarters than a Chinatown streetwalker.

You can't help but feel a little sorry for Bannon. Poor guy must have thought these people were his friends. Oh well. Can't help but kick back and laugh as these snakes eat their own tails

Looks like they only cleared a single lane- that will work well.
