They're not the only ones having weird warm weather. Last week or two we had three or four days of record breaking temps in RI/MA area. There was one day we hit 82. Broke the record from 1892.

Yesterday we had snow. Today we're supposed to have highs near 60. Never mind the winter that wasn't. We had MAYBE a total snowfall amount of 30 inches for the entire winter. There will likely be drought this summer because we didn't have a lot of precipitation, unless the rains start coming and soon.

But what will this do to the corn crop..

I know it's nice to be playing golf in Des Moines in March, but that's kinda a big deal.

I read that as "Lowans" and i figured Lindsay was already in trouble again.

I AM DISAPPOINTED.

Chemtrails, Subby. Not contrails.

Send that weather east when you're done with it. Still cold and snowing pretty regularly.

Macular Degenerate		2012-04-01 10:45:27 AM

A week ago it was 82°F in Southern Maine for a couple of days. Think about that. 82°F. Maine. In March.

Folks fear turning off the furnace

I once had the horrible experience of walking down to the basement and turning mine on again.

And you'd think Nova Scotia, right next door, would get at least a little of that. Newfoundland just had another freaking snowstorm.

It's as if someone is purposefully trying to keep all the unusually hot weather in the US.

FTFM. 20 degree windchill here today.

Yes, really outstanding spring weather, following a fairly mild winter.

A karmic payback for having to endure months of vomit-inducing robocalls from Mittens and the Rondroids?

Yes, kiddies, jet fuel is a chemical.
Sure is convienient that it is harmless since we vaporize and dump tons of it into the air we breath and heat our planet with every day.

/farking lying sociopaths, jet engines must be up to what?, 35-40% efficiency nowadazes.

Metalupis		2012-04-01 11:26:20 AM

while I will agree with the nice temps, it hasn't been dry recently, been a damp week up in the nw part of the state, which is good because we need the precipitation and the ground has thawed enough to actually hold it

Meanwhile the Gulf of Mexico is 2 degrees warmer than normal for this time of year, and with the jet stream so high up, no steering currents to keep hurricanes from entering the Gulf and intensifying rapidly.

/2 degrees is a HUGE deal
//Difference of +1 category wise
///Louisiana Farker 6 feet above sea level, no not in New Orleans.

I think you're conflating efficiency of an engine (it's thermal efficiency), and it's "efficiency" in the "miles per gallon" or "eco-friendly" sense of the world.

So if you're trolling, my only question is... an engineering troll? That's worse as bad math trolling.

Fark a sandbag, I'm outta here at the first sign of trouble. Got family in central Texas. Know the house will be OK, just put the important stuff up high.

What I am trolling is the inconvient truth that most of the crap you pour in a jet or turbine engine comes out the back unoxydized.
And it is ignored.

Don't you know? Once you change it to vapor form and release it, it ceases to exist. Just ask anyone about their car exhaust.

theorellior		2012-04-01 12:16:15 PM

Waitaminit, I have it on good authority that the declining birthrate amongst white pedigreed males is a result of the abortifacients in chemtrails. The tumors are caused by high-frequency radio waves bounced off the ionosphere, subby.

snocone: Sure is convienient that it is harmless since we vaporize and dump tons of it into the air we breath and heat our planet with every day.

I would hazard a guess that the accidental emission of hydrocarbons given off by motorists every damn day just fueling their automobiles dwarfs the stratospheric emission of unburned jet fuel by an order of magnitude at least.

However, continue shiatting your pants if you like. It's all the same to me.

Labrat407		2012-04-01 12:38:34 PM

Friend of mine is always posting tis chemtrail crap on his Facebook page. It drives me crazy. The belief that such a conspiracy can be kept intact with the number of people that would have to be involved right down to Joe Bob the mechanic working on the planes.

Grocery Store Sample Giver		2012-04-01 01:08:08 PM

87 here in beautiful, sunny Iowa today. 82 tomorrow. Turn off that furnace and turn on the AC for the next few days.

bsteiny		2012-04-01 01:30:28 PM

yup...beautiful day, put in a 26 mile bike ride and now taking the hound for a walk. It's great to enjoy now, but what will it be like here in the middle of July?

Really, you think that a the efficiency figure means that the fuel comes out unburnt?

You might want to read about what engine efficiency means. If this was actually happening the way you say then the airlines would be the first to do something about it because they are cost-control freaks.

What's really happening with 40% efficiency is that 40% of the available energy is converted to a useful form, wit 100% (ir near enough) combusted. If jet engines spewed out a kerosene aerosol then they'd explode in thunderstorms.

Fergit the word "efficient". If you are too stupid to understand, just leave it.

Unburned hydrocarbons and such at ground level is one thing.
Seeding your atmosphere to 60,000 feet all day, every day is a somewhat different issue.
Or so I would think.
