They said that maybe putting a fine on drunk cooking will make people be more careful. Yea - I'm sure that will happen.

Hydro Street Brewery ran into a small road block with paper work. Seems in order to sell your own beer you MUST sell someone else's beer also! My suggestion was Ale asylums Hopelicious (sp?). NOW they must resubmit the state brewery license. Their HOPE was to be open on this date but there is a small set back.

MR. WIZARD SPEAKS
Cold front moving through this morning - NOT LIKE. November is suppose to be warmer then average but winter as a whole - colder and wetter because of La Nina - HOWEVER they can not take the Arctic Oscillation which is more short term.
A negative Arctic Oscillation is what happened a few years ago when it got so FREAKING cold. Since the early 1970s there has been a positive Arctic Oscillation
With positive Oscillation the higher pressure at midlatitudes drives ocean storms farther north, and changes in the circulation pattern bringing wetter weather to Alaska, Scotland and Scandinavia, as well as drier conditions to the western United States and the Mediterranean. In the positive phase, frigid winter air does not extend as far into the middle of North America as it would during the negative phase of the oscillation. This keeps much of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains warmer than normal, but leaves Greenland and Newfoundland colder than usual. Weather patterns in the negative phase are in general "opposite" to those of the positive phase, as illustrated below.

I'm confused with what you are saying, Mr. Wizard. Are you foreseeing a negative or positive Arctic Oscillation for this winter? If negative, will that make it even colder and wetter? If positive, will that perhaps alleviate the La Nina effects?
ReplyDeleteThe lobby pic is beautiful, but somewhat unsettling. Kind of like a landscape that appears in a dream... but you don't know if it's going to be a good part of the dream or a weird part.
The shot is sort of "Inseption-ist" I suppose.
ReplyDeleteAs for Arctic Oscillation. In the PAST we have had positive meaning warmer then normal. But this is something no one has models for so it's an unknown.
BTW - speaking of models - all summer the talking heads on TV would say "the models have todays high at 58, HOWEVER, the models have been cool all summer so we could be warmer". . . . .COME ON - pick a side are you going with your BRAIN or the models!!
