Weather Forecast

Unfortunately the Forecast on Accuweather is Smoky Through Friday.

AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson, who specializes in weather forecasts for Canada, said the additional plumes of smoke from wildfires in Quebec will blow over parts of the northeastern and midwestern United States through most of the week.

New York City and areas in New England could see some improvement in air quality Thursday and Friday, as a shift in the winds will direct the smoke toward southern Ontario, Ohio and Pennsylvania. However, while the air quality will improve near the Atlantic coast on Thursday, it is likely to worsen in and around Toronto, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Detroit.

The weekend could bring another downturn in the air quality across the mid-Atlantic and New England.

FAA and Secretary Peet Tweet Synopsis

  • Neither the FAA nor Secretary Pete posted the number of cancelled or delayed flights.
  • The FAA only did a few Tweets on this today, all ay least 7 hours old. One of them was a re-Tweet of a Secretary Pete Tweet.
  • Secretary Pete has only done two Tweets on the plane cancellations. One of them was a re-Tweet of an FAA Tweet.

Thanks for the information guys. 

Best wishes to all impacted.

What a joke. After the FAA forces aircraft owners to spend billions upgrading their avionics to ADS-B (which was advertised as a method to allow more aircraft operations), the FAA is unable to handle a slightly degraded weather pheromone. Cleary a massive failure of our wonderful government………………

Now we can all get a sense of what it will be like when we go back to burning wood to stay warm and cook our food in our 15-min cities.

Years ago I was in west africa and they use coal/wood to cook everything and it’s all outdoors. it was surreal driving through the roads and seeing iguanas being cooked over open flame with smoke everywhere. I’m not talking one or two people grilling, I am talking about thousands.

There are no iguanas in Africa so they can’t eat them. They are found only in the Americas. Which country was it? If it was a Muslim country and if it was on the first day of Aïd-el-Kébir instead of iguana you could have been seeing sheep heads being cooked over open fires.

It was Nigeria and it was a lizard of some sort because of the tail. Perhaps it was a small alligator? Or maybe one of these things:

I saw similar when I was in Peru to do a 10 day hiking trek to Machu Pichu.
Only there it was guinea pigs, which taste like chicken 🙂

Let it burn. It will clear space for deer, moose, beaver and other animals. In a mature conifer forest nothing grows there but trees and most of them are sick. Burning regenerates the forest and the ecosystem.

I wonder if you’d be so “eco-conscious” were the fires affecting your family that had pulmonary problems?

That’s a strange statement. If your family has pulmonary problems then you should move to a place more protected. It is not up to the forest not to burn for your family’s health problems. The forest can’t move and fires are a part of its natural ecology. You however are mobile or you can wear a mask or whatever.

What? No one blaming Biden or Powell or windmills for the wildfires?
Oh wait. One moron blamed Trudeau for the wildfires and Pete for a train wreck. My faith in stupidity is restored.
These extreme weather events are costing us more and more each year in both human and economic terms. Get used to it.
On the plus side, if the earth’s atmosphere was always this full of aerosols (particulates) it would block some of the sun’s radiation and cool the planet.
As always; nothing I can do about it. However, I take solace from the fact that my oil and gas stocks continue to gush cash at current prices, and keep increasing dividend payments and buybacks.

I’ve been selling calls on about 100k worth of DVN stock. Sell calls when oil rallies and buy back when oil drops. Meanwhile, earning 9% dividend on top of that. Next ex-dividend date is June 14. Just bought 300k worth of 30 day T-Bills at 5%

With the fires in Canada lumber prices will go up with all the trees going up in smoke. No wait, I heard that after a fire the logging companies move in and harvest the burned timber so lumber prices will go down. Or is it they go up first and then down? Maybe they get turned into bio-wood chips and not affect lumber at all? Looks too complicated. Maybe I should just buy Apple or Berkshire Hathaway or something.

“These extreme weather events are costing us more and more each year in both human and economic terms.”
There are 8 billion people on the planet now and the dollar for one, doesn’t buy anywhere near as much as it used to. So extreme weather events are going to cost more than they did decades ago.
As noted on the temperature anomaly map, coastal California is cooler than average. It has been that way all year. May Grey and June Gloom have been especially potent this year.

reason they cost more is because people are moving into disaster prone areas, building more which all cost more. If you adjust for population and inflation it has been worse in the past.
you can look it up. charts, graphs and pictures tell the tale

Before anyone claims this is because of climate change. It’s not. It’s because of a persistent omega block weather pattern. Not unusual.
In the DC area, it’s like everyone is having an outdoor barbeque at the same time. Now I know what it’s like to live in Bombay. It’s kind of neat for a few days, but long term, no thanks.

This is the worst air quality I’ve ever seen in DC. Nothing at all like this over the last 3 summers.

I guess we are incapable of managing the forests properly to prevent or limit wildfires. Somehow though, we could easily manage the climate.

Only a few tweets from Secretary Pete ? Just last week “Wired” magazine was drooling about how intelligent he was….forgetting to mention people in Ohio with polluted water from his train wreck. Must be driving his SUV to a photo op where he can stop before getting there to ride a bicycle to show how green he is.
Speaking of green, Canada and its loony black face wearing prime minister goofed listening to the green environment whackos in not doing controlled burns of underbrush so when things build up, we get situations like this.

Ah now more of the country can feel the pain of Californians. We must have traded climates with them for a year because we got a bunch of rain and now its in the low 70s for highs in June and mild weather for summer forecasted for the rest of June where I am where it typically already in the 90s.

Omega block. High pressure in the middle of North America is pushing warm air into the interior and pushing down cool air along the coasts.

We went through this in CA a couple of years back. It is surreal to walk around in an orange colored world. Surprised the news stories aren’t featuring this classic song:

If 100% of our electricity was produced by solar panels, I most of the cities in the Northeast would probably be totally dark at this point.

Not really. You can still feel the sun. Production might be down 10% or so.

More than 10%, probably about 50% based on what medium overcast does to mine.

Same for my solar pool surface skimmer. It will run 24/7 with full sun. Mild overcast and it will shutdown around midnight. Heavy overcast might get a few hours out of it.

If there is any dry deposition of fine particulate matter on the cells then it will reduce output more than a cloudy day would. A dirty panel is an inefficient one.

And who is going up there on the roof cleaning them? Someone 65 years old and older, obese are they going to do it? No. They will not clean them, just complain and vote for more green energy.
