Devastating Winter Storm Xynthia ripped a swath of destruction through Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, and Germany over the weekend, killing at least 62 people. It was Europe's 5th deadliest winter storm of the past 60 years. Hardest hit was France, where at least 51 died. The storm also caused six deaths in Germany, including a 2-year-old boy blown into a river and drowned. Three people were dead in Spain, and Belgium, Portugal, and England had one fatality each. At least ten people are still missing. Most of the deaths in France occurred when a powerful storm surge topped by battering waves up to 25 feet high, hitting at high tide, smashed though the sea wall off the coastal town of L'Aiguillon-sur-Mer. A mobile home park built close to the sea wall was particularly hard-hit. The sea wall was several hundred years old, built in the time of Napoleon, and locating a mobile home park so close to it showed poor coastal development practices, critics said. The storm cut power to more than 1 million homes in France, and up to 1 million customers in Portugal also lost power. A few wind peak wind gusts measured during the storm:
Pampilhosa da Serra 147 km/h (91 mph)
Penhas Douradas 126.1 km/h (78 mph)
Porto (Airport LPPR) 113km/h (70 mph)
Lardeira: 196.1 km/h (122 mph)
Serra do Eixe: 157 km/h (98 mph)
Campus de Vigo: 146.9 km/h (92 mph)
Gandara: 145.8 km/h (91 mph)
Eiffel Tower, Paris: 175 km/h (106 mph)
Saint-Clement of the Whales: 159km/h (99 mph)
Charente-Maritime: 161km/h (100 mph)
A Personal Weather Station in Les Portes-en-Re recorded sustained winds of 143 km/h (89 mph) gusting to 180 km/h (112 mph) before losing power at the height of the storm. According to Meteo France, the maximum recorded gust from Xynthia for elevations lower than 1200m was 160 km/h along the coast and 120 km/h inland. In 1999, Winter Storm Lothar brought gusts of almost 200 km/h to coastal areas and up to 160 km/h in the interior at these lower elevations.

Destructive European storms of the past 60 years:
2010: Winter Storm Xynthia of February 27, 2010 killed 51 people in France, Spain, and neighboring countries, and did $2 - $4 billion in damage. Lowest pressure: 967 mb.
Winter Storm Klaus hit northern Spain and southwest France January 23 - 25, 2009, and was Earth's most costly natural disaster of 2009, causing $5.1 billion in damage and killing 26. Minimum pressure: 967 mb.
Kyrill (January 18, 2007) killed at least 45, with Germany suffering the most fatalities (13). Minimum pressure: 964 mb.
Back-to-back winter storms Lothar and Martin December 26-28, 1999) killed 140 people, 88 of the victims in France. Minimum pressure: 961 mb (Lothar), 965 mb (Martin).
The Burns' Day Storm of 1990 killed 97, mostly in England. Minimum pressure: 949 mb.
The Great Storm of 1987 was Europe's "storm of the century". It killed 22 people in England and France. Minimum pressure: 953 mb.
The North Sea Flood of 1962 killed 318 people--315 of them in Hamburg, Germany.
The North Sea Flood of 1953 killed 2,000 people in the Netherlands and England.
Xynthia's warm air surge sets records
One reason Xynthia became so powerful is that it formed very far south, where it was able to tap into an airmass that was unusually warm and moist. Satellite measurements (Figure 2) showed a plume of high total precipitable water (the amount of precipitation one can produce by condensing all the water vapor from the surface to the top of the atmosphere), about 300% above average, flowing from southwest to northeast along Xynthia's cold front. Enhancing the amount of moisture was the presence of very warm sea surface temperatures 1°C above average along this plume. As this extra moisture flowed into the storm, the moisture condensed into rain, releasing the "latent heat" stored up in the water vapor (the extra energy that was originally used to evaporate the water into water vapor). This latent heat further intensified Xynthia. The storm's central pressure fell to 966 mb at the storm's peak intensity, reached at 18 GMT Saturday after it passed over Spain's northwest corner.
As warm, tropical air surged northeastwards in advance of Xynthia's cold front, it set several all-time high temperature records for the month of February. Melilla, Spain hit 34°C (93°F) at 3pm local time on the 27th, beating previous highest February temperature of 30.6°C, set in 1979. The temperature surged upwards a remarkable 9.1°C (16°F) in one hour as Xynthia's warm front passed through. Record February warmth was also observed in the Canary Islands as Xynthia's warm front passed though.
Figure 2. Satellite measurements show a region of high total precipitable water (the amount of precipitation one can produce by condensing all the water vapor from the surface to the top of the atmosphere) up to 300% above average, flowing from southwest to northeast along Xynthia's cold front. Enhancing the amount of moisture was the presence of very warm sea surface temperatures along this plume, about 1°C above average. If this pool of very warm water is still around in July, it could lead to an earlier than average start to the Atlantic hurricane season.

Next storm
For the the U.S., the next winter storm of note is a moderately strong low pressure system currently over Texas that is expected to move quickly eastwards today and Tuesday. The storm should bring an inch or so of snow to Atlanta and northeast Alabama, and 2 - 4" to the nearby mountains of South and North Carolina, including Charlotte. After that, the models show a long break from winter storm activity for the Eastern U.S. Beginning Sunday, it looks like it will be the Midwest's turn, when a powerful winter storm will drop out of the Rockies, then move across the northern tier of Midwestern states early next week.
Next post
I'll have a new post Tuesday or Wednesday.

I'm done for a while.......MY show 24 just came on ....BBL! |
Quoting doabarrelroll: LOOK at your Electric and Water bill. You will see it there and more to come if Obama gets his Energy Bill he wants passed through the Senate. Part of it in cap and trade also. |
Quoting Levi32: IPCC says (your quote) "1F warming by 2011" Now as i posted the latest sat image We have now 1.03F just to compare LAST YEAR!!!! ... pretty accurate if you ask me. And as you can see it undermines the prediction already in the start of 2010. Pretty scary development. http://climateprogress.org/2010/03/01/accuweather%e2%80%99s-joe-bastardi-admits-earth-continues-war mest-winter-since-satellite-measurements-started-and-feb-should-be-warmest-on-record/ |
Don't get me wrong. I am all good and want very much to have a Clean Earth with Clean air and water and land. And Yes, we should all do what we can to have clean energy but, lets not fabricate the real truth to serve for a purpose just to tax the public into thinking we are the culprits of GW. It just is not the truth and what is behind the Politics behind it. "IT'S THE SUN STUPID!" |
Didn't Emanuel & some think PDO maybe more aerosol driven? But many AGW nonchemistry believers don't want to peer into the window of chemical & atmospheric coupling on many & all levels deep ocean to space, solid to gas. We've got too much to learn to wait for all the answers... |
Quoting drg0dOwnCountry: Oh yeah skip over my previous comment when I actually had a link to the IPCC's outrageous warming predictions for 2010-2011 and 2038? Shocked you huh? Oh yeah let's just ignore that and move on to Levi's next comment because he's losing the PDO argument.... Oh brother....classic cherry-picking. I'm done for now we'll come back to it again sometime I'm sure. Laterz all. Drg0d go ahead and post all the links and articles and whatever you want when I leave. |
Quoting TampaSpin: I give up eventually when this guy starts spewing out propaganda for too many hours in a row, but I will never give in to this political nonsense they want us to believe. |
Quoting atmoaggie: This may help a bit. I was reading from this site the other day :) Found this interesting ! http://www.spacetoday.org/SolSys/Sun/Sunspots.html "Magnetic flip. An additional indication that Cycle 23 peaked in the year 2000 came in a NASA report in February 2001 that the Sun's magnetic field had flipped. That means that Sun's north pole, which had been in the northern hemisphere of the Sun before the flip, now is in the southern hemisphere.The flip really wasn't a surprise since it seems to happen at the peak of each solar cycle. " http://www.spacetoday.org/SolSys/Sun/SolarIndicesFAQ.html |
Quoting Levi32: Yes i think it is the best to look at the data and the people who do this for a leaving. You prefer what? Your opinion? Levi i see no reason why you should not look at the data of the observed PDO and all the other data which is there. Each single system we observe points to warming. So lets start reducing the greenhouse gas emissions and do our best to counter dangerous climate change. |
Quoting Levi32: Levi give up Brother! Those that believe will put something together and change there story as to what is happening until an Ice Age begins and even then they will have us in Global Warming! |
I won't argue anymore about the PDO. It's pointless. Every real Meteorologist knows what it is and what its impacts are. I'm not going to waste my time trying to refute the nonsense being fed to us by people that have been exposed for falsifying temperature data. Come on that's the best you people can do? |
Quoting Levi32: While PDO does have some degree of correlation with short term variations in global temperature, the striking feature of Figure 3 is the contrast in trends between PDO and global temperature. Obviously the PDO as an oscillation between positive and negative values shows no long term trend. In contrast, temperature displays a long term warming trend. When the PDO last switched to a cool phase, global temperatures were about 0.4C cooler than currently. http://www.skepticalscience.com/Pacific-Decadal-Oscillation.htm Levi look at the data. |
oh, oh, scripted answer found! In the presence of a correlation to the number of flights taking off within a 1/10th of a mile, the PDO fits the temperature rise perfectly. I would love to see a plot of that. Number of flights taking off plus the PDO plotted with the surface temps. |
Quoting Skepticall: I have no idea. Not my strong suit, admittedly. |
Quoting drg0dOwnCountry: It's 2038 not 2032. Yes I have a link.... "ICPP Predictions: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climatic Change (IPCC) has projected that in the next century, global warming will continue to rise to catastrophically higher and higher levels (Figure 4). The basis for this prediction is that the IPCC believes that rising atmospheric CO2 is the cause of global warming and that CO2 levels will continue to rise in the future, so global temperatures will also continue to rise. Computer models, programmed to calculate rise in global temperatures as a function of CO2, predict that by 2100, atmospheric CO2 will to rise to 540-970 ppm and global temperature will increase 0.6 �C (1.1� F) by 2010, 1.2� C (2.1� F) by 2038, and up to 10.7�C (19� F) by 2100."

The PDO is a climate phenomena found primarily in the North Pacific (as opposed to El Niño which affects mostly the tropical Pacific). It has two phases that it typically alternates between; usually staying in one phase for a significant period of time (as little as 10 and as much as 40 years). However, it's not uncommon for these long periods to be broken by intervals when it switches phases for anything between 1 and 5 years. The phases of the PDO have been called warm phases (positive values) or cool phases (negative values). Figure 1: Monthly values for PDO index: 1900 to May 2006. Figure source: Climate Impacts Group So the first lesson of PDOs is that while we talk about a 20 to 30 year period, it is not very clear cut at all. In fact, an analysis of the frequency of the events does not produce much in the way of a firm period. Incidentally back in 1999 it was predicted that we were entering a cool phase. The second lesson of PDOs is that while we talk about warm phases and cool phases these are more names than physical descriptions. As seen in Figure 2, a cool phase PDO is associated with cool sea surface temperatures along the Pacific coast of North America, but the center of the North Pacific ocean is still quite warm. Consequently it would appear that there is nothing fundamental about a PDO that would cause significant changes to global temperatures. Figure 2: PDO warm phase (left) and cool phase (right). Image courtesy of JISAO. Nevertheless, climate is always full of surprises and to be complete we should look at how the PDO's change of phase coincide with a change in climate trends? In 1905, PDO switched to a warm phase as global warming began. In 1946, PDO switched to a cool phase as temperatures cool mid-century. In 1977, PDO switched to a warm phase around the same time as the modern global warming period. Is PDO the smoking gun? Figure 3: Monthly PDO index (blue) versus monthly global land ocean temperature anomanly (red). Smoothed data and trend lines are added. While PDO does have some degree of correlation with short term variations in global temperature, the striking feature of Figure 3 is the contrast in trends between PDO and global temperature. Obviously the PDO as an oscillation between positive and negative values shows no long term trend. In contrast, temperature displays a long term warming trend. When the PDO last switched to a cool phase, global temperatures were about 0.4C cooler than currently. The long term warming trend indicates the total energy in the Earth's climate system is increasing. This is due to an energy imbalance - more energy is coming in than is going out (Hansen 2005). Various factors affect the Earth's energy balance. A brightening sun increases inbound energy. Atmospheric aerosols reflect sunlight, decreasing inbound energy. Greenhouse gases absorb outgoing longwave radiation, reducing the amount of outgoing energy. The total energy imbalance is expressed as net forcing, the sum of all the various forcings (eg - solar, aerosols, greenhouse gases, etc). Figure 4 compares net forcing to global temperature over the 20th century: Figure 4: Net forcing (Blue - NASA GISS) versus global land ocean temperature anomaly (Red - GISS Temp). When all forcings are included, net forcing shows good correlation with global temperatures. There is no single smoking gun. As our climate continues to absorb more energy than it emits, we can expect the long term warming trend to continue with short term fluctuations superimposed. This is the point of Keenlyside 2008 and is echoed by the Hadley Centre who predicted internal variability will partially offset the anthropogenic global warming signal for the next few years (Smith 2007). Both predictions come from the next generation of climate models incorporating ocean dynamics (I'm surprised noone has coined the term GCM 2.0 yet). These new models predict that while warming will slow over the next few years due to internal variability, the warming trend will resume in the long term. http://www.skepticalscience.com/Pacific-Decadal-Oscillation.htm |
Quoting Skyepony: Ever seen this? http://www.atlantisquest.com/Bahama.html Possible people have been leaving for higher ground, in stages, for a long, long time. Where are people currently fleeing for high ground besides areas of subsidence and atolls? (other reasons to consider for the latter) |
Climate Science PDO as an oscillation between positive and negative values shows no long term trend, while temperature shows a long term warming trend. When the PDO last switched to a cool phase, global temperatures were about 0.4C cooler than currently. The long term warming trend indicates the total energy in the Earth's climate system is increasing due to an energy imbalance. http://www.skepticalscience.com/Pacific-Decadal-Oscillation.htm I'm ashamed of our so-called "science" system now. Look at them running and scrambling for anything to support what they say so they can keep making money. They wrote papers claiming that GW would produce NO SNOW, then this winter happens, and they deny ever saying such a thing. Reliable temperature records are only available back to 1979 which is when the last cold PDO ended, we have not observed a cold PDO yet, and we are about to, and that will prove who's right and who's wrong in the next 20-30 years, maybe even sooner. Anything before 1979 is either incomplete, error-ridden, or manipulated by people trying to make money off of scamming people (hint: IPCC). Keep to the hard data, none of this fancy stuff about millions of years ago and trying to tell all of us very smart people that these things are proven facts. It's nonsense. The only real data is from 1979, that's what to watch, not these manipulated tools twisted to suit a political agenda. Every Meteorologist in the world knows what the PDO is. So-called climate scientists have apparently stooped to changing the definition to suit their own needs. |
Quoting Levi32: Levi i like what you wrote about clean energy, thanks for sharing this insight. But you now put all your argument on the PDO and say it is natural. What if you are wrong with your opinion and the science is right? And tell me where did you read that it will be warmer in 2032? with 2f??? AS i understand the models more data points to sudden increase, something we observe in 2010 now! |
Quoting Levi32: Déjà vu. Certain parts of this conversation seem to be on a tape loop. Especially sentence one concerning a certain commenter. About that...when one posts a real idea that doesn't fit the scripted response, well, you'll get none. At least not one that addresses what was said. (This is when the abrasiveness really comes out.) Good luck, Levi... |
Quoting Levi32: Skeptic The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) is a temperature pattern in the Pacific Ocean that spends roughly 20-30 years in the cool phase or the warm phase. In 1905, PDO switched to a warm phase. In 1946, PDO switched to a cool phase. In 1977, PDO switched to a warm phase. In 1998, PDO showed a few cool years. Note that the cool phases seem to coincide with the periods of cooling (1946-1977) and the warm phases seem to coincide with periods of warming (1905-1946, 1977-1998). Climate Science PDO as an oscillation between positive and negative values shows no long term trend, while temperature shows a long term warming trend. When the PDO last switched to a cool phase, global temperatures were about 0.4C cooler than currently. The long term warming trend indicates the total energy in the Earth's climate system is increasing due to an energy imbalance. http://www.skepticalscience.com/Pacific-Decadal-Oscillation.htm |
Quoting TampaSpin: So you expect us to bust into flames? NOAA figures we'll kill our ocean as a food source by 2050 from us not mean but polluting people making the oceans too acidic.. sea level rise is already forcing people from their homes..lowest sea rise projections put 10% of the world population out of a home in less than 90 years... There are so many reasons we need to stop burning & polluting to get by even if you remove AGW from the situation. |
Quoting Levi32: Hate to say it but, this years Hurricane season might just cool the Atlantic a good bit.......But, boy i hope not! |
Quoting drg0dOwnCountry: Man if you ever read anything I said you'd know that I said the oceans have been warm for the last 30 years due to natural cycles and so DUH it's warm. I never deny that fact. It's also a fact that the oceans are about to cool as we enter a cold PDO and eventually cold AMO as well. My children won't be growing up with a lot of "warm energy in the pipeline". By 2030 it will be quite cold ocean-wise, and I betcha the IPCC's insane predictions of 1F warming by 2011 and 2F warming by 2038 will crash and burn. There is no evidence to support the oceans staying in warm cycles for the next 30 years outside of the norm. We're coming off a strong El Nino now....January and February global temps are going to be really really warm...that's OBVIOUS, it's not unexpected warming. After this El Nino a La Nina will likely follow (supported by the models) and temps will cool slightly. As long as another strong El Nino doesn't develop next winter, which I think very unlikely, then next February will definitely not be warmer. |
Quoting VAbeachhurricanes: Nobody says it wasn't way warmer back in earth history. Humans evolved much later with a total diffrent climate. And we speaking here of about 90 million years back in earth history. Humans and relatives evolved much later, with an colder climate. And if you look at todays climate you see that we already have a lot of problems with only slight warming. Another big diffrence to past climate shifts is, that today it happen much faster. We have a lot of species going extinct and with further warming humans could face this too. It will only become worse as there is a lot of warm energy in the pipeline (ocean). So a great place for your children to grow up? Or do you think that in 10 years suddently it will get colder? (Like Levi told us earlyer next year he guaratees it will be colder) Explain ;) |
217. AstroHurricane001 3:52 PM AKST on March 01, 2010 Read above on Bastardi. I am a witness to everything he said and video-taped about this El Nino. He expected this temperature spike, and you should know that the ocean-atmospheric relationship lags both ways. The maximum increase in global heat isn't going to occur when the strongest warm SST anomalies occur....just like the warmest part of the day isn't when the sun's incoming radiation is the strongest. The average of everything since 1977 is going to be warmer than "normal" based on mid-20th century climatology, obviously because we've been in a warm PDO since then. If this spike is bigger than 1998, then so be it, it's not that big of a deal. The major energy centers of the earth (eastern USA, Europe, and the far east) were outrageously cold this winter, but the world as a whole is very warm. Why? Excessive blocking in the high latitudes, enhanced to some degree by polar volcanic activity last year, warmed the arctic and drove all the cold air into the mid-latitudes. This is also why your east-ocean boundary currents are having issues, because air pressure oscillations (AO, NAO, etc) have all been insanely negative all winter, slowing down the ocean gyres and therefore the boundary currents. The east-ocean boundary currents are the weakest and most susceptible to being overwhelmed by warmer water for a time. And there may be other ways to figure out what temperatures were before satellites, but they are not complete global records that cover all the grid points, and there is so much controversy about the accuracy of the data which is prone to error and manipulation. The best way to go is with the hard-core unbiased data that we know for a fact is true. All we have truly observed so far in history is one warm cycle of the PDO. We are about to enter our first cold cycle which will continue for the next 20-30 years. You say we don't have time to wait. I say no matter what people will keep looking for clean energy and ways to clean up our atmosphere, which is a noble cause with or without global warming to worry about, so I'm not at all concerned about us not making enough effort even if GW does exist. People will continue to advance those projects to improve our negative effects on the environment and I support those efforts. |
Quoting drg0dOwnCountry: I wonder when the point will be that us mean old humans combust into flames....is it coming soon? |
Quoting Skyepony: Well if the sun kicks in again, we could have 0.1-0.2C more to accelerate the great human induced warmth from fossil fuel combustion. |
Quoting drg0dOwnCountry: there you go you admitted it, its been way warmer before thats all i wanted to hear. |
Quoting Skepticall: I was discussing the '08-'09 sunspot minimum & how it wasn't normal (conflicting Levi:)..you beg to differ like how? You think it was normal? Yeah I think we all know it is over.. Told ya'll a year ago when it ended & we hit an El Nino peak we should cycle up to really warm..by sat measurements that is exactly what has happened. SST are really beginning to reflect it. The sun has much a longer cycle than the 11 year that plays way more with the temps of the earth. We've had blogs on this where Dr Masters explained how that is also in a negative phase when we would expect cooling, not this.. It's stupid to blame the sun, knowing what we do. |
Image infos: Global paleogeographic reconstruction of the Earth in the late Cretaceous period 90 million years ago. |
Quoting VAbeachhurricanes: It was much hotter back then. A climate we going for. Sea level been much higher too. Climate The Berriasian epoch showed a cooling trend that had been seen in the last epoch of the Jurassic. There is evidence that snowfalls were common in the higher latitudes and the tropics became wetter than during the Triassic and Jurassic.[7] Glaciation was however restricted to alpine glaciers on some high-latitude mountains, though seasonal snow may have existed farther south. After the end of the Berriasian, however, temperatures increased again, and these conditions were almost constant until the end of the period.[8] This trend was due to intense volcanic activity which produced large quantities of carbon dioxide. The development of a number of mantle plumes across the widening mid-ocean ridges further pushed sea levels up, so that large areas of the continental crust were covered with shallow seas. The Tethys Sea connecting the tropical oceans east to west also helped in warming the global climate. Warm-adapted plant fossils are known from localities as far north as Alaska and Greenland, while dinosaur fossils have been found within 15 degrees of the Cretaceous south pole.[9] A very gentle temperature gradient from the equator to the poles meant weaker global winds, contributing to less upwelling and more stagnant oceans than today. This is evidenced by widespread black shale deposition and frequent anoxic events.[10] Sediment cores show that tropical sea surface temperatures may have briefly been as warm as 42 °C (107 °F), 17 °C (31 °F) warmer than at present, and that they averaged around 37 °C (99 °F). Meanwhile deep ocean temperatures were as much as 15 to 20 °C (27 to 36 °F) higher than today's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous See this image and think of earthquakes and volcanoes. |
Quoting MsBlanch: You are more than welcome....StormW's expertise is needed here and anything more he can learn to protect us all is needed. He is the "The Man" we need in this community to help us all! |
Quoting Levi32: According to that graph, it looks like the departures from running averages for the 2006 El Nino and 2007-08 La Ninas, respectively, were +0.3C and -0.23C. No big +0.4C leaps, especially not in one month. It looks like the biggest one-month change was 0.25C, which is little compared to the recent increase. But remember that El Nino peaked on Boxing Day, and so December's El Nino was stronger than January's on average, yet global temepratures soared. It's possible that the El Nino's declining warmth simply flooded over the continents, but remember that the cold temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere were as strong as ever (which means that the southern hemisphere and ocean-based air temperatures would have to have been even warmer than otherwise). Since the main El Nino warm pool weakened, the heat must have spread out into the global oceans, clogging the thermohaline, especially in cold currents such as the Humboldt, Aghulas and Canary. I have observed this from SST maps collected from WeatherUnderground, but have yet to release any compilation, although Plymouth has some good archives for SSTs and anomalies, as does climate4you for daily SSTs. Also, remember the huge increase in February SSTs for the Atlantic this year compared to last year. February 2009 was actually quite warm (0.19C up from the running average), and we actually got 0.57C warmer this year than last year for February. No, I'm pretty sure we won't have a +1C temperature rise every year, or we'd all be dead. But exceeding the +1C mark since whenever in the 20th century temperature average is highly likely in a few years, if it hasn't occurred already. We're going into a La Nina in the summer this year, but that forecast is uncertain as some predictions show it returning to an El Nino or remaining neutral. If strong La Nina conditions do not develop in the winter, which I doubt they will due to the new suceptibility for the Humboldt to be disrupted by warm anomalies from its root at 40S, then we will likely not get back to the old flat baseline we've been enjoying for the past ten years. Around 2012-2013, solar activity is expected to peak, so we'll likely see rising average temperatures based on the sun alone until at least 2015. After that, positive feedbacks will take over, and economic recovery and recoveries will only add to that, because there was a mixed blessing during the economic crisis in that our CO2 emissions declined. Methane clathrate releases will likely increase, and they just started between 2004 and 2008 (during the flatline period), and that wasn't supposed to happen until the end of the century. Quoting tornadodude: I can tell you that here in S. Ontario we got TWO major snowstorms all year. My definition of a major snowstorm is more than 20 cm (8 in) of snow in under 48 hours. Our first storm was in early January, our second just last week by late February. Subtract those two storms from the total snowfall we've had all season, and that's about 45 cm (18 in) so far this season, and 100 cm (39 in) with the snowstorms. I agree with the forecasts that are predicting more snowfall coming large storms all at once, and the flooding in Madeira was a clear example of that (at one location, nearly twice the average monthly rainfall in five hours). At Toronto Pearson, the lowest winter snowfall on record was the winter of 52-53, with about 55 cm of snow. Usually we see closer to 135 cm each winter, and the winter of 2007-2008 was one of the snowiest on record, with about 210 cm of snow in Toronto. This variation from high and low records for winter precipitation has been astounding. Quoting whipster: If your method is to "follow the money", then most of the money that you seek comes from ExxonMobil to fund the climate deniers. The denial industry gets funded fourteen times more than the environmental groups, remember? Also, I'm going to address an earlier post that accused another blogger of being funded by Al Gore: although he does train "mini-Gores" to give presentations all over the world, I highly doubt that he personally pays any of them to do that because then he'd be out of money, and a blogger here being funded by the fossil fuel industry to spread denial is far more likely. Quoting VAbeachhurricanes: Global average temperatures do usually get highest around July, but this year I'm thinking that we'll get a big anomaly in global monthly temperatures around May as the warmth in the oceans is still present over the southern hemisphere and the Northern hemisphere recovers from the cold spell and warm oceanic air floods into continents. Quoting Seastep: What I did was addition based on three different graphs. The GISS up to 2009 at this point does not matter until 2010 is passed, as this year will likely persist to have above-normal temperatures even as a neutral 3.4 zone or a La Nina sets in. I concluded that based on the numbers given by climateprogress that February average temperatures this year were roughly 0.57C warmer than last year (+1.03F). I added that to February 2009's average temperatures given by the UAH graph (used by both sides in the debate; unless I chose the wrong dot for that), which was 0.38C above the 1979-1998 average. That makes for +0.96C from the average. I next added that number to what the average for that timeperiod looked like according to the graph I posted. I estimated that this was +0.18C above the average for that graph, which has a base average period of 1961 - 1990. Add this figure to the previous one, and you get +1.14C. Since 1900 was about 0.2C below the base average period for the third graph, that corresponds to a +1.34C rise since 1900. Let's be conservative here and assume I overestimated and go with +1.3C since 1900. Although I agree that this is not a purely scientific method, I do not have a single graph to go on that shows both the recent spike and the 1900 base value. This is why I'm asking for a better way to find the temperature increase. If I use your raw figures for GISS data, which was acutally not established until 1961, I get a value of 0.76C above 1900 levels, which is still above what was observed throughout the 20th century (0.74C). Or did you use data from 1961? Quoting Levi32: There are other ways of obtaining a temperature record than from satellites. Proxy data and temperature stations, for example. The AMO and PDO combined cold cycles will by my estimates lower global average temperatures by a net 0.15, and that's still not enough to undermine the underlying trend. Either way, we do not have thirty years of time to wait before we decide if we want to do something about global warming. The scientific evidence, other than a small proportion of scientists (but a very large proportion of the fossil fuel industry), is strong enough to justify immediate action. It's been strong enough for the last twenty years, in fact, and that's before the denial machine kicked in. By the way, let's not let this debate get out of hand...again. Quoting Levi32: The temperature spike may have been predicted, but did you read the climateprogress link about Bastardi's predictions? And actually, we don't know yet if this winter is a bigger anomaly than 1998 yet. The SST patterns suggest huge fluctuations recently within the thermohaline pattern, and the fact that the ENSO warm pool weakened, expanded, and had a large portion of its warm anomaly diverted to the south by cyclones (and later farther east), probably had a great deal to do with the warming temperatures, but even that could probably not fully explain the full spike, so if you ask me I'd say that global warming is accelerating and that the 10-year lull is over. |
Storm you share allot here, gives me peace of mind and is much appreciated. I agree with the others we want you to be present at the conference. TampaSpin - thank you for setting everything up! Quoting StormW: |
Quoting Patrap: Ya, you guys are getting that wind I mentioned: http://www.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KNEW.html No more than 15 mph, gusts to 25 up here...a function of both where the low is and our thickly forested landmass for most of the northshore. |

Quoting drg0dOwnCountry: ROFL I'm sorry but that is the stupidest thing I've heard yet. The last 40 years of natural drivers are what have WARMED US UP since 1977! What the heck are they talking about? Do they think warmer oceans are going to cool the earth? And don't you dare try to tell me they were talking about sunspots. And Joe Bastardi?? Hello he's not gonna falsify data, unlike some other people. He jumped right on reporting the 2nd warmest January on record the very morning when Dr. Spencer's temp graph was updated. He said a long time ago it would warm with this El Nino, which is natural, and will cool after the El Nino, which is also a natural result. And NOW they talk about since "satellite" estimates began? NOW they talk about it because it's to their advantage to not include anything from BEFORE 1979. That's utterly ludicrous. |
Quoting tornadodude: well according to patrap the date is off by 1 year, it's suppose to 2011. oh shoot i wasn't suppose to say anything! lol |

Roskill: Stability Returns To The Rhenium Market
Between 2009 and 2012 rhenium supply has probably been in rough balance with demand. With a better understanding of the market dynamics, producers should be more able to tailor future output to demand.
Gas-to-liquid catalysts an opportunity for rhenium
In addition to its invaluable contribution to the stability of superalloys and the safety of aero jet engines, rhenium is used in reforming catalysts in the production of high octane petroleum additives. It is also used as a promoter in catalysts in gas-to-liquid operations, which, although small currently, may assume much greater importance in the long term in the light of the rapid expansion of shale gas output in the USA and elsewhere.

On two car owners, Stewart and Ganassi, and the economy
Question : Do you think Tony Stewart will struggle? He hasn't failed at anything he has ever attempted and I think with all the help he is getting that he will be just fine.
Full Story
"Smoke Fan Forever!!!" Since: Sep 07 10,451 Look to the Western Sky!!!! |
Jul 16, 2008
This is a pretty good take on what will happen in the coming years with the series and Tony.
Jul 17, 2008
I would like to hear it from Tony - define struggle.
"Smoke Fan Forever!!!" Since: Sep 07 10,451 Look to the Western Sky!!!! |
Jul 17, 2008
I wonder what the threshold for success is for him. Is it just making every race next year. It's a good thing to define success so that he has something to strive for. |
Jul 17, 2008
It's going to be very interesting watching Tony next yr.I really hope he does well, but we may see another side of Tony we have never seen before. If he doesn't do well there is no telling what kind of hell will break thru. I just hope he can take it all in stride and remember that this is a "new" team and patience is the game. |
Jul 17, 2008
In an interview he said that he expects to win next year. He said he didn't know if it would be one or more, but that he expects to win. Personally, I don't think its out of the question. |
"Smoke Fan Forever!!!" Since: Sep 07 10,451 Look to the Western Sky!!!! |
Jul 17, 2008
I think he's capable of it, I'm just wondering if he's ok with not winning.
Since: Sep 07 11,524 Location hidden |
Jul 17, 2008
Name one driver that is OK with it. lol |
Jul 17, 2008
I think it will depend on how his car is running. If he's not even running with the leaders like so many of the small teams I think we'll see him explode at some point next year. But if he's running in the top 10 consistently I think he's more than willing to not win for a little while. I'm sure there will be some pointed comments if the team struggles, but that's what we've come to expect from him. He'll undoubtedly tell a few reporters that they're idiots because they ask the same question over and over. |
"Smoke Fan Forever!!!" Since: Sep 07 10,451 Look to the Western Sky!!!! |
Jul 17, 2008
Well think about it when you're starting a new team you kind of have settle for not winning don't you. |
Jul 18, 2008
He's not starting a new team, he's joining one that's been around for a few years. Its been struggling no doubt, but it isn't like he's building things from the ground up. He won't need to set up accounting, HR, payroll, etc. He won't need to find garage space or negotiate for equipment. The current drivers have been able to run in mid-pack (when they get in the race). Tony should be able to easily bump that up to running in the top 10 or 15. Once you're in the top 10 consistently you'll win eventually. |
"Smoke Fan Forever!!!" Since: Sep 07 10,451 Look to the Western Sky!!!! |
Jul 18, 2008
That's the advantage he has in that this is already established. I'm hoping that they're equipment is good and it's just been a driver issue. |
"TonyfanAnn" Since: Dec 06 735 Someplace in the United States |
Jul 21, 2008
I don't think Tony will be happy with anything except winning races and being in contention to win races next year.
Stewart did not do this to run in the back or middle pack next year. You can bet that Stewart's people will have him in good cars next year and he will be running up front. |

1. Legit 4G came from Verizon much earlier than AT&T to Wilmington 2. Verizon brought out their Share Anything plan only to have AT&T copycat the offering a few weeks later. 3. Verizon has much more coverage of legit 4G LTE compared to AT&T nationwide. AT&T's claim of more 4G coverage is a lie because it's actually HSPA+, not true 4G LTE speeds which are much much faster. 4.

The last few days of activating her palate expander it has been a struggle to do it. The last 3 days I have had to hold her down and force her mouth open. Today she decided to bite me. OMG 2.5 hours later it still hurts. She even drew blood. I washed it twice and put hand sanitizer on it. She has 6 more days of activation. She goes back to the orthodontist on the 15th, to see if we are done with the activations or if we need to do me. Let hope that we don't have do anymore. BTW she is 7.

Baz Lurhmann�s
The Great Gatsby
, based on the classic novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is a spectacular movie experience. Full of energy, color, and music, the film begins with the protagonist, Nick Carraway, narrating the events that led him to need professional help for alcoholism and depression. Much like the intro to Lurhmann�s award-winning Moulin Rouge, the despondent main character reflects back on how hopeful and full of wonder he was when he first arrived to an exciting new city to chase his dreams. And, like Christian in Moulin Rouge, Nick is quickly enchanted by the nightlife, glamorous parties, and beautiful people only to quickly find that the glitter is merely covering up a hidden darkness.
It�s the early 1920�s in New York City, and the only person Nick knows in the big city is his cousin Daisy. Her rich husband indulges in booze, cigars, and women while Daisy suffers with a sad smile and charming wit. Nick soon receives an invitation to a party at his new neighbor�s exquisite, castle-like mansion. Nick happens to live in the run down shack next to the mysterious J. Gatsby. The two quickly become friends, and Nick is allowed into Gatsby�s world. Gatsby confides in him and tells him the secrets of his past--secrets that involve Daisy.
While the film began with a roar, pacing became problematic towards the end. Scenes that should have the audience at the edge of their seats just dragged on. Perhaps it is the effect of such a flashy start, to be let down once things slow down. Perhaps that is just what Lurhmann wanted, so you could relate to Nick�s realization that this new magical world he discovered would ultimately lead to a disappointing and drab existence, where shallow people and loud parties were just distractions from the emptiness that this kind of lifestyle left behind.
Overall, I enjoyed the experience. The 3D effect gave the movie a pop-up story book feel to it, which lent itself well to the narrative of a too-good-to-be-true vision that Gatsby fully believed would come to be. The costumes, settings, and cinematography were gorgeous and well-stylized. The music, which is an ever-present part of Lurhmann�s films, gave the film a special kind of energy that draws the audience in to feel like they are part of the festivities. While all of the performances were great, Carey Mulligan really shined as Daisy. While her character's personality was at times over the top, her heartbreak was subtle and honest.
The Great Gatsby opens May 10th.

This PARC Forum invited expert talk is part of a special series with 10 speakers on 10 aspects of innovation... because we're celebrating the "Power of 10" years of practicing open innovation (since being incorporated as an independent subsidiary in 2002)! View other talks in this series here. If you're not already a member of the PARC Forum invited expert series mailing list, you can sign up for advance announcements via email or feeds here.
Don Norman is cofounder of the Nielsen Norman Group, an IDEO fellow, Trustee of IIT's Institute of Design (Chicago), and former Vice President of Apple. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and was awarded the Benjamin Franklin medal in Computer and Cognitive Science. Don is professor emeritus of computer science and design at Northwestern University and of both psychology and cognitive science at the University of California, San Diego; has been a Distinguished Visiting Professor of Industrial Design at Korea's Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST); and has honorary degrees from the University of Padua in Italy and the Delft University of Technology in Netherlands. Don has authored numerous books, including Design of Everyday Things, Emotional Design, and Living with Complexity. He likes the fact that in addition to being named as one of the world's most influential designers, Business Week also labeled him a curmudgeon. "Question everything," he argues, "for questioning and debate provides deep understanding."

Unless the Chargers believe in the Spikes curse, I think they should keep him. When he gets there, he makes the tackle. Now, $3.7MM is expensive for a guy that age, but sometimes it is okay.
The Raiders are screwed for the next few years as far as cap space goes. But if they play their cards right, in a couple years they could have massive amounts of money. Plus they will be in the top 5 for the next couple years too. Get a few high draft picks, lots of cash, if played correctly they could be relevant in about 2015.
The awful contracts should be gone by 2015 but things can still happen.The Raiders are screwed for the next few years as far as cap space goes.

Get a few high draft picks, lots of cash, if played correctly they could be relevant in about 2015.
I wouldn't think the Raiders (or any team for that matter) will be able to accumulate extra money from this point forward given the peer pressure caused by the league needing to average a 95% spend rate with no team falling below 89% in a given year. It just seems highly unlikely.
Sadly, a lot of Oakland spending won't be on players who are playing for them.
Magary deserves Pulitzer for that. I so hope they finish in 4th place this year.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Kyrie Irving had 17 points and 12 assists to spoil the homecoming for Evan Turner as Cleveland beat the Philadelphia 76ers 104-93 on Monday night in an exhibition game played at Value City Arena on the Ohio State campus.
Turner, who had 14 points, was the national player of the year for the Buckeyes as a junior in 2010 before deciding to enter the NBA Draft, where he was the second overall selection.
The Cavs (4-2) pulled away with the aid of a technical given to Philadelphia's Royce White after he picked up his fifth foul with 8:57 remaining. He was ejected and Matthew Dellavedova made three free throws for a 78-74 lead.
Tristan Thompson had 15 points and 16 rebounds for Cleveland.

Shawn Thornton's 15-game suspension is the longest for any player without a prior history of supplemental discipline by the NHL. The Bruins forward won't see game action again until Jan. 11 when the B's take on San Jose, and the length of the suspension came as a surprise to some hockey analysts.
NESN's Billy Jaffe broke down the NHL's reasoning, and Sportsnet hockey analyst John Shannon offered his two cents on the suspension on NESN Sports Today. Check it out in the above video.

Hi all, After getting tired of the requests why prtraceroute didn't do what people hoped it should do, I fixed some of the bugs... (and found some new ones). It's highly recommended to upgrade since this release also does a better job in skipping funny modern objects that caused the impression that the whole Internet was in AS1800... and yes the software runs with perl5 now. The code is available from: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pride/tools/prtraceroute-2.0beta4.tar.gz If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me again, Kind regards, David Kessens ---- New in 2.0 BETA 4 1. new quad2int routine due to perl5 problems with bit shifts and some other minor perl5 fixes This version is supposed to work with perl5 now Note that the other PRIDE tools don't!!!! 2. removed hardcoded SOCKSTREAM (for Solaris) and port value 3. The tool skips now route objects with origin=AS0 4. The tool skips now route objects with prefix 'x.x.x.x/0-5' 5. The inet-rtr lookup works again (did nobody notice that the RIPE whois server doesn't support use of two '-T' options...) 6. More robust code for interfacing with different versions of traceroute. Note that more robust doesn't mean good code, there is still some work left... 7. The AS macro expansion didn't work with AS lists that contained other AS macros 8. The policy evaluator had a bug which has been worked around. ------
