Winter is coming!!!

Yeah but we are more east too and the Jetstream tends to influence our temperatures. In the winter it tends to wobble back and forth either side of us, sometimes to the west and we get warmer and sometimes to the east of us and then we get much colder. One day it can be mild and 40-45 degrees and the next day 15-20 then back up again a couple days later. Our snowstorms usually end up with at least some rain near the end. Never used to be like that when I was a kid but now that I am 60 it has become the new norm.
Yes the ocean has a affect on weather also. So many variables. As I get older I'm glad winters aren't as bad as the use to be.

Winter finally comes here too.
11 below 0, strong freezing wind and 5cm of snow. Not much, but nice white around.
Mike
Yeah that 11 below 0 is not fun for any living being, and hope not to see that this winter. It sure kills us folks on the heating bills. When I was a kid below 0 was a normal for this area so there is some benefit to Global Warming. I'm already burning 2 coal stoves to heat this Pig of a house and hoping not to have to start the furnace also.

Stay Warm
Mike
 
That stove looks like a Fisher PaPa or MaMa Bear or a copy. I use to be the Shop Foreman for Fisher Stove of Pennsylvania back in the 70s - 80s. I can't even imagine how many of those things we cranked out of that shop. Got my biggest Xmas bonus from them in 79 and they were the first company to pull the carpet out from under me when they closed the door and went back home. History !

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
