This was Thursday night at 11pm or so. Latham. Looking north towards the mohawk river.

Those colors are amazing!! I was super lucky to be able to get some red aurora on my mobile camera right in my area of upstate NY the other night.

Their last two albums are very easy on the ears. Every single person I've played Laminated Denim for has absolutely loved it.

Deep cuts and live music. Also, I will never get enough of the stones' song "can't you hear me knockin". A new-ish band that I'm really into right now is King Gizzard.

No one except the boomers like it when I play Phish, Billy Strings, Allman Bros and Grateful Dead. Oh well.

Temperatures are relative. There are many places on this planet where water in its molten state is very rare at times.

Yeah, even though for this cold snap it's quite positive, and our newest warm up next week coincides with the NAO going neutral.

Thought this was interesting

>The wintertime NAO also exhibits significant multi-decadal variability (Hurrell 1995, Chelliah and Bell 2005). For example, the negative phase of the NAO dominated the circulation from the mid-1950's through the 1978/79 winter. During this approximately 24-year interval, there were four prominent periods of at least three years each in which the negative phase was dominant and the positive phase was notably absent. In fact, during the entire period the positive phase was observed in the seasonal mean only three times, and it never appeared in two consecutive years.

>An abrupt transition to recurring positive phases of the NAO then occurred during the 1979/80 winter, with the atmosphere remaining locked into this mode through the 1994/95 winter season. During this 15-year interval, a substantial negative phase of the pattern appeared only twice, in the winters of 1984/85 and 1985/ 86. However, November 1995 - February 1996 (NDJF 95/96) was characterized by a return to the strong negative phase of the NAO. Halpert and Bell (1997; their section 3.3) recently documented the conditions accompanying this transition to the negative phase of the NAO.

I'm actually really looking forward to reading those links, I don't have the time to now. I do know that my area just set a record, this is the first January we've ever had with no daytime highs under 30°.

Edit:. Ugh warmer and more snow.

Definitely colder for you guys. We get a lot of warm air off the ocean and Lake Ontario.

When were you a little kid? I grew up in the '80s and '90s in upstate NY, and it was always interesting to see if we would actually get a white Christmas, or have enough ice to drive our trucks on the lakes. Then we had those crazy cold winters in the 2000s and 2010s (Even canandaigua Lake froze!), now it seems like we're back to the winter weather of the '90s and late '80s.

Why does it feel like this might be one and done for the winter in the northeast?

You don't want to talk about the very article you are commenting on, my dear deflector. Go ahead and speak about the world telling Russia and its' supporters to go to hell. Let's hear your thoughts on the topic at hand.

Ah yes, insults. The calling card of* the mentally inept.

*Edit. Bad grammar. Oh, the irony.

What does that have to do with Russia invading Ukraine?

Excellent what about pivot, comrade. You're doing God's work. God is a piece of shit, but you're doing his work.

they're already here

You really are a MAGA trash troll. Are you that Tate fuck, posting from prison?

This is good advice with a caveat. It doesn't apply if you put a lot of miles on your vehicle, or if you're sourcing your vehicle from rust belt areas. You mentioned Ford expedition, you will have ball joints coming up, upper and lower. Do not wait on those. Keep an eye on your sway bar mounts.
