Subj : moving or not 2/2 To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Thu Jan 30 2020 15:38:00 Hi again, Daryl! DS> (Continued from previous message) Hmm: so still need to figure if promise or threat! BM>And that black ice is not fun! This morning 29ø and they were talking BM>fog in the area but looking out could see the streetlight clearly; I'm BM>up on a hill so maybe a light fog along the River. Early did see a BM>couple of cars with their wipers going but also some not - either on BM>intermittant or the drivers didn't need. The walks aren't slippery here BM>-- took some electronics recycling out a while ago; didn't put it out BM>last night when took the rest of the trash out as didn't want the BM>cardboard boxes to get soggy if warmed up overnight. DS> And, it's so deceiving...by the time you realize what it is, DS> it's too late. The temperature could have warmed up overnight, or possibly fog, either of which could have damaged the integrity of the box, leaving a mess. I don't want to be the one to pick it up and not sure if it's the city's responsibility. BTW a year ago would not have been a problem with possible thawing: was -33ø here on January 31, 2019, ...Plus of that number today! BM>I've just begun to notice the model names -- usually ECMWF, GFS and NAM BM>as three separate charts but sometimes the TV meteorologist will chart BM>them together and a mess fo various coloured lines on the chart. US BM>viewers have about one or two seconds at most to try to figure out the BM>thing before the next graphic is put up. Looks impressive! And if I BM>was really-really into weather analysis I'd be looking up the websites BM>myself. DS> There's the NBM (National Blend Of Models)...although with the DS> crap they put out, it's more like "Numerous Bowel Movement". Any DS> wonder how I am feeling right now (never mind the fact my eyes DS> are brown)?? If it's a blend the bad guesses are going to wash out the good guesses. OTOH could sort of see blending: something's bound to be halfway right! BM> DS> Meteorology is such an inexact science...but so many feel that BM> DS> the weather folks are the only ones who can be wrong, and still BM> DS> keep their jobs. BM>That and financial advising! BM>... Financial planning is knowing where the next ATM machine is. DS> I've heard of kids wanting them installed in their home, where DS> they don't have to constantly break their piggy banks. :P Just get dad a new wallet for birthday and Christmas! ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
