Weather nerds.....we broke a record yesterday

[Bulldog Bruce]

To bring it back on topic. My peach tree and my neighbors blueberry bushes are both sans fruit because of that late freeze we had in North MS that came during the flowering. My peach tree was so loaded last year it broke a branch.

This is a great thread idea and thank you. Question for OP or anyone else- I have wondered often about the coolest high or the warmest low. Where does the chart in the original post come from? Or any other tips on websites that share this kind of data by zip code or certain general areas of MS?

Climate data at the National Weather service. Your local office website should have a link somewhere.

It's funny how he is still hitting everything right on target. Makes you feel like he made that stand-up last week.

I’ll try to piss off everyone

1. There is climate change, some of it is a progressive warming from the last ice age, some of it is caused by man. Theres also no “normal” climate. The planet has been a slow steady flux since the beginning

2. Technology will be the key to slowing our effects on the environment but it needs to be done in a way that is beneficial and not constricting. Most current anti global warming policies are simply a tax cash grab that does very little to solve anything. Governments use fear to scare people but that line of thinking is not getting traction anymore.

3. This piggybacks off of No. 2 but we can’t just “stop” GW or climate change or whatever buzz word you want to use. The climate mitigations we use now just don’t do enough to make a difference. You want to make a difference get everyone to kill themselves and the planet will revert back in about a thousand years. Otherwise just learn to adapt to it.

My view almost to a T.

Not in Florida ….for now. Even in states that do it’s less than $1/day.

It's coming. EVs put more wear and tear on roads because they are heavier. Almost every state pays for roads and bridges with taxes on fuel. EV users have been getting away with not paying for the roads they drive on. That will not continue.

It seems you may be looking at actual science and observable data. Since I’m politically homeless, please accept this as a verbal accusation of your stupidity for some yet unknown reasons that my currently unformed political party does not support. As soon as my new party forms and generates my talking points I’ll relay them. I hope the wait isn’t too taxing on you.

Seems like he is using common sense to me.

Florida actually taxes on weight of the vehicle for the annual registration. So they are at least getting something.

But in actuality, regular commuter cars and trucks don't really hurt the road much at all compared to trucks and weather, so the fuel tax is negligible.

Except for the fact that it pays for roads and bridges.

Could definitely have more money, I agree. But they aren’t doing much damage.
