It's your punishment for being a Blue Jackets fan. As if that personal choice hasn't punished you enough.The weather has been really weird so far this year in Ohio. It's been really cool so far, but now it's been like mid 70-80F all week, now we're entering another cooler period with some snow tomorrow.

Quite the stretch in this "Crazy weather thread." Maybe we should merge with the "Lost human cilvilizations?" thread. Speaking of which, am I the only one who wonders what a "cilvilization" is?

Kinda, not really.Quite the stretch in this "Crazy weather thread."
If there were no dams, a big wet winter could result in a spring flood that would re-adjust the sand bars.

Tulare Lake Grows

The San Joaquin Valley sits like a bowl at the base of the southern Sierra. Close to the middle of that bowl is the historic lakebed of Tulare Lake, which was once the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River. Since the 1920s, the rivers that fed the lake have been dammed and diverted for agriculture and other uses. The lakebed has since been covered with farms that produce a variety of crops and livestock.
But after two major storms hit southern California in March 2023, water once again returned to Tulare. The image above (bottom), acquired by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8, shows flooded farm fields in the lakebed on April 30, 2023. The image on the (top}—acquired by the OLI-2 on Landsat 9—shows the same area on February 1, before significant flooding started. These images are false color, which makes the water (dark blue) stand out from its surroundings. Vegetation is green and bare ground is brown.
The images below show the progression of flooding in the Tulare Lake basin. They were acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite between March 2 and April 28, 2023.
March 2 - April 28, 2023
Flooding in the lakebed is likely to continue into 2024, which will affect residents and farmers in the area, as well as some of the most productive cropland in the Central Valley. The lakebed contains farms that produced cotton, tomatoes, dairy, safflower, pistachios, wheat, and almonds. ...

Creepy Dolls that are caked in barnacles and washed up on Texas beaches were auctioned off
The Mission-Aransas Reserve at the University of Texas Marine Institute has sold their best beach finds to help rehabilitate sea turtles and birds.
Ocean currents cause one 40 mile stretch of Texas beach to get lots of trash from ocean including barnacle encrusted dolls. Researchers sell them off to raise funds for clean up and rehabilitation.
Sounds like lots of crazy weather coming up all over north america this week

Hottest day ever part two
Tuesday set an unofficial record for the hottest day on Earth. Wednesday may break it.
The planet’s temperature spiked on Tuesday to its hottest day in at least 44 years and likely much longer.
I believe yesterday marked part 3.
For me, the freakiest shit is still the forest fires in Canada causing the air quality to be terrible. My father and I have lived in Western NY for our entire lives. We can't recall it ever being this bad. We got hit with some really bad air quality a month ago. To a degree I've never witnessed before. You couldn't even go outside it was so bad. I was able to gut through it last year, which seemed like the worst we've ever had. Then, we got hit with terrible air quality again a week ago. I avoided the outside for the most part, but played golf when it was a still a bit elevated and felt fine.
My dad and I aren't tree hugging hippies, either. My dad especially isn't. He's a blue collard conservative who was in the army. He hasn't paid any mind to the loaded topic of climate change, but even he's starting to feel iffy about the future due to the air quality being so shit the past few years, especially this year. I admittedly lean left, so I've always believed in climate change.
I'm not an expert in the field, but I think we have some tough days ahead. Hopefully all the experts are wrong, but they know way the f*** more than we do about this shit.

Concept of a Plan
If the Canadians would rake their forests every once in awhile they wouldn't be having a fire "issue"
My SIL stayed indoors a few weeks ago due to the smokey air in Syracuse. That was when they had the bad air in NYC. I thought that your bad air was from Quebec.
My bad air is from western Canada.

A solar storm forecast for Thursday is expected to give skygazers in some states along the U.S.-Canada border a faint glimpse of the northern lights which — at their peak — produce a colorful sky show when solar wind hits the atmosphere. Three months ago, the light displays were visible in...
