In addition to several record highs that now appear within my reach, we might be as warm as Tampa and Orlando later on this week!

Banned for in addition to several record highs that now appear within our reach, it is going to be as warm up here at the end of this week into the weekend as it is down in Tampa and Orlando!

There are a lot of people I used to talk to that won't talk to me unless I say something to them first.Banned for same here. It's no wonder people won't ask me to hang out with them outside of school. They wait for me to ask them, and I have a hard time doing that. Life's a bitch sometimes.

« on: March 28, 2010, 10:46:08 AM »With how it consistently keeps getting warmer... I would not be surprised to see 80's sometime towards the middle of April. I'm just awfully concerned about how dry it has been lately.I guess I'm part of the "younger crowd"...Put it in the upper 80s and I will.
Anyone smell an early hint of summer?

We are now slated to end the month with 0.44" of precipitation... and while the average of 2.33" doesn't make for a dramatic departure from normal, it is a sign. Here's a map of Southwestern Lower Michigan and another of Michigan... with the month-to-date percent of normal precipitation on an overlay. Basically, an area from just southwest of Lansing up through the Lake Huron shore of the thumb is in a serious setup for a drought. Also notice how serious northern Lower Michigan and the UP are.

Yeah, I noticed that the map in a lot of the videos Tavores has uploaded recently had the edges of all the roads (in the view) labeled yellow. I didn't realize this was an actual error.

I actually don't mind the CFL lights, and I've somehow gotten my entire house to use them. The appearance is always hidden by some sort of lampshade, and they don't take any more time to turn on than an incandescent bulb.
But anyways, I'm what you would call a 'lazy environmentalist', as it has been dubbed on Forecast Earth. I'm not going to go way out of my way to go green (go off the grid, buy organic products, drive a smart car, etc). But I take dozens of little steps a day to lessen my carbon footprint. As mentioned, I am adamate (however you spell that) about turning things off when I leave the room. I have to keep turning off my sister's overhead light as she leaves her room... and it makes me mad when she goes back to the room just to turn it on and leaves. I will even turn the TV and lights off when I'm only out of the room for 10 seconds. I take 10 minute showers... period.
Speaking of little steps, there's a Rite Aid right by Sparrow, across the street from me, and I go there every couple of daze when I want some sort of a snack. I just bought a reusable cloth-type bag to use every time I go there from now on.
Honestly, if we all could do even little steps like the ones I've mentioned... it would have an enormous impact. You don't have to go way out of your way... just be environmentally minded when you are using something that impacts the environment.
I am a little bothered that most areas are powered by coal... and the power plant where my power comes from is a coal plant. That's part of why I do a lot of the green things I do. I'm totally for nuclear, solar, and hydro-electric power. I don't buy this 'clean coal' concept at all. You know, on the game that I used to play, SimCity 4, there are several types of power plants you can put in your city. I noticed one called Hydrogen (not hydroelectric), that I'm guessing works the same way hydrogen fuel cell cars do. I saw somewhere that one of these plants was being built somewhere in California, but I haven't seen one before. Perhaps this is the power of the future?

« on: March 27, 2010, 05:37:04 PM »I would assume that's because the traffic maps have been disabled for the time being.It's kinda odd to see the 7 day jump to the Traffic Flow map w/o the other two traffic maps coming before that like I just saw a couple of minutes ago.I haven't been seeing my traffic map all morning here either.
This brings me to another question, When did they bring back the regional maps at :08/:38?

I would have to disagree with alot of the sentiment you've mentioned about the hot weather, Tavores. A couple of factors are combining here. Let's not forget the summer of 2007, which was rather warm. I know I hit 96 during July that summer. So there's not only that correlation, but we have much more sunspot activity than we did in 2007. Plus, remember, there was some widespread hot weather last summer.
As for the hurricane season, we are coming out of an El Nino and transitioning into a La Nina pattern, so I would say that activity will increase over last year (granted, not dramatically, but case and point). The tracks and non-conducive conditions are nearly unpredictable, imo.

As far as I'm concerned, I've been participating ever since I began turning off the water while I brush my teeth, and turning off lights and the TV when I leave the room.
