Warm Weather

NoBozo · 11-08-2009, 06:58 PM

I enjoyed the temporary Global Warming today. We went out for the last boat ride.... Narragansett Bay. Temp hit 67. Didn't have the Luxury of Winni.

I too experienced a REGIONAL warming today. Temperatures in CT hit 70 degrees. As far as someone's temporary Global Warming today, that is an assumption that the whole globe was warm today. Reykjavik Weather says 45 degrees F and raining.

HA HA. Just Joking? Ok, I'll call off the NSA Agents that are surrounding your house right now. Just try to not make any sudden movements near the window you are standing near right now................... Ok, that shot was a warning. Don't move again.... Ok, I know you have to turn the stove off so your oatmeal doesn't burn............... just move slowly towards the kitchen.............

I have often thought the same thing....

especially because he had the nerve to title it "Global Warming" before connections in high places got it changed.

Do you believe in Title Changing?

Lakegeezer · 02-18-2010, 12:06 PM

Back when most people believed that the sun revolved around the earth, the conversation from the deniers must have been similar. It doesn't really matter what you believe. The climate is changing. The north pole has less ice than we've seen before, our springs in the lakes region are earlier, our falls later and we are seeing the northern boundary of some insects and plants creep north.

Change cannot be legitimately denied. The extent, impact and our ability to stop the change is where the discussion should be. When we have US senators pointing at a record DC snowstorm and saying there is no change happening, it shows that we are not dealing with reasonable parties who can rationally discuss the topic. The conservative point of view should not be held by buffoons. They must go.

The elephant in the room is carbon taxing. Those against it want to deny there is a problem, when instead, they should be asking the tough questions. Will reducing carbon emissions have any effect? How accurate are the predictive models? How can we cleanse the data we have so new models can be built? The answers to those questions are squishy.

Carbon taxing probably won't work, but that is no reason to walk away from the science. It makes more sense to help Texas and Virginia buy some snowplows. Dealing with the impact of change as it comes, whatever it might be, is the most reasonable approach, especially when we don't really know what will happen in 10 or 50 years. Predicting disaster and investing for the worst case is not reasonable.

Just kidding NB.

Got to the Meredith courts today about 4 o'clock to hit some tennis and who's there; three ladies playing canadian doubles, wearing shorts and tee shirts, like it was the middle of the summer.

Howzabouthat? Must-a-been in the 70's....shorts and tee's on November 9!

NoBozo · 11-09-2009, 07:00 PM

Locally, the Waterville Valley ski area is scheduled to open Nov 20, as always. They try to open the very short High Country trail, up on top, and almost always are successfull. It probably requires just two nights of below freezing temps at 3500' altitude to get it covered, about a 500' long slope.

...only time will tell?

Thanks for changing the subject FLL...Everyone before your post totally had me lost.

Shedwannabe · 11-11-2009, 01:08 PM

Not that I'm complaining...

...but how did the title of this thread get changed from the provocative trollish "Global Warming" to the more appropriate "Warm Weather"?

Now if only the comments in this thread were changed from the trollish "Diss Global Warming...smirk, smirk" to an appreciation of there (finally) being some nice fall weather... even if it is the result of human activity

fatlazyless · 11-20-2009, 09:57 AM

So, how is the skiing? Waterville Valley was scheduled to open on Nov 20, which is today. Taking a look back over the last 25 years, the ground in the valley should be white with natural snow cover from Nov 8 to Apr 5.

Not this year; the ground is not even frozen yet, there has been no natural snowfall, no artificial snow-making, and today it is raining heavy with temp 53 degrees.

Will the ski areas be open for Thanksgiving, Nov 26?

Hey, it's been a terrific November for

utd

r tennis!

Meredith and Ashland have terrific outdoor hard surface courts to use for free. Waterville Valley (red clay), Center Harbor and Holderness School courts are closed. Does Laconia have any courts?
......

Just checked www.waterville.com and opening day is now scheduled for Friday December 4. No Thanksgiving skiing at WV! Has that ever happened before? And, the prices for the already incredibly expensive Threedom Pass is scheduled to go up on December 1. Rots-o-ruck selling higher-priced ski passes while the area is closed!

On the brite side: Waterville Valley has a new & great look'n new entrance sign proclaming it to be the HOME of FREE STYLE SKIING with a full color sign graphic of Wayne Wong doing an inverted aerial manuever...... a very good sign that adds some personality to the drive.

FLL,Waterville has had about 8 -10 inches of snow this year.No,it will not be opening for T-day this year.The new proposed opening day is Dec 4.

Don't believe it unless you are counting 'phantom snow' as reported by people promoting a snow related business. For one day in early November, WV had less than one inch on the ground. Not enough to need a snow scraper......the windshield wipers got it clear.

I saw it for myself.In October people were hiking up and skiing in 5 inches.

fatlazyless · 11-24-2009, 08:41 AM

...ok....so it snowed in October....today is November 23, the day JFK was shot, and there is no natural snow and no artificial ski snow anywhere in the Valley; no snow on the summits, no white reflections from the various water streams and no snow, no where.

There is a small pile of white chopped ice left by the Zamboni, dumped out last night, out behind the ice arena. So, if anyone wants that, it is available for the taking, probably.

Almost always, over the past 20 years, the Valley floor is white with natural snow from November 8 to April 5.

This November has been excellent for golf and outdoor tennis.........thankyou very much.

fatlazyless · 12-04-2009, 09:07 AM

Despite yesterday's huge rain washout, WV High Country will be open today, 236-4144. Two "trails" up there are look'n washed-out white and open for 29 dollars. Skiing for the hard-core faithfull believers, definately!

Yesterday's Dec 3 LaDaSun has a short, last page AP story: "Dartmouth study says ski areas exaggerate snowfall"

"...two Dartmouth College professors say ski areas across the country exaggerate snowfall totals."

"...the greatest discrepancies occur on the weekend."
