Every year I put a dish of pumpkin soup in the oven, not fully believing that itโ€™s actually going to come out as a pie.

Bumping this as we watch our next potential snow storm fizzle in the model guidance.

A Climate โ€˜Shockโ€™ Is Eroding Some Home Values. New Data Shows How Much. (Gift Article) Changes in the insurance market have started to affect home prices in the most disaster-prone areas, new research finds, pushing some homeownersโ€™ finances to the breaking point.

โ€œglobal reinsurance companies have had what the researchers call a โ€˜climate epiphanyโ€™ and have roughly doubled the rates.โ€ www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The way model guidance is trending for tonight-tomorrow, I'm convinced it's not going to snow again until 2026

I donโ€™t even remember a December 10 snowfall in 2021. Thought the first was NYE

This whole summer-in-November thing on the Front Range this week is just wild, kind of pleasant, and moderately concerning.

Another night in the 60s during a month that is typically the 2nd or 3rd snowiest out of the year.

I have several credit cards, and just set up a new one with Bank of America. Easily the worst platform Iโ€™ve ever used. Just spent 25 minutes on the phone with a specialist and even they donโ€™t know how to set up autopay, which Iโ€™d consider pretty much the main feature of a credit card platform.

64 degrees at 11pm at my place in Arvada Colorado.

On November 10th.

Totally fine.

So many offices are just using NBM already though I think?

Yoshinobu Yamamoto is the 2025 World Series MVP ๐Ÿ†

He joins Hideki Matsui (2009) as the only Japanese-born winners of the award.

Obviously was rooting for Jays and gutted for Toronto and Canada to lose the way they did. But - what Yamamoto did in games 6 and 7 was unfreaking believable. Has any pitcher ever won games 6 and 7 of the World Series? If he isn't the MVP I don't get it.

I was also worried weโ€™d see a bases loaded walk to win it too. Thatโ€™d be the lamest way I think.

Hello welcome to bluesky. We have every kind of anti-government radical left of center, and also, baseball

While Melissa definitely made a difference, itโ€™s interesting to see that the entire Caribbean fell pretty markedly in that animation.

Melissa is wasting no time getting reorganized back over the ocean north of Jamaica

I recommend anybody interested in donating uses the official website launched earlier today instead of the links I posted supportjamaica.gov.jm/donateq

The circulation of Melissa rotating classically anticyclonically around the high terrain.

I was worried for my crew mates when I saw them circling in the eye for over 20 mins. Looks like the very rough ride was confirmed. Plane had to leave early. They reported svr turb and a "sawtooth" eye. Looks like they moved 600-700ft up & down during this stretch in ~1 min.
