Hi Callan, here's a link that may be useful... I've not seen the book, but this review-ish article suggests relevance. santacruzmuseum.org/unearthing-l...

Seems as though the Maduro defense team might have some material to work with here

I truly love this illustration. I truly dislike that some actual illustrators are being displaced by this technology. I truly see the value of putting such visualization tech into the hands of many who have need but no means of ever paying for such illustrators anyway. Kudos on making good use here.

Lol, I saw that but only thought it was a pixelation artifact, because how/why could anybody have used generative AI to produce this important piece of work :-). That aside, kudos for a good one here.

That was a thing.

What? The Newt is still alive?? Argghh. And he thought that was a helpful message to put out there? He's as far gone as the Orange One.

Similar in size to the 1958 Lituya Bay megatsunami, caused by a rockfall triggered by an earthquake. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1958_Li...

Well, most of them are. First time for "Richardsonism" though, I suspect.

We are surrounded by them all summer long here in SE Michigan; my favorite is when two or three fly low overhead on our little farm, pterodactyl-like, with only the noise from their slow flapping wings. Magic. Thanks.

Clap! We have no pond. But we got all our garlic in the ground and mulched before 5” snow fell this weekend.

Thanks @climatecasino.net and @marcdissents.bsky.social.

oh wait, it might not even be quite the minimum for the year, I just took a closer look... it's close though.

Question! I can't tell from the graph, but you who have the data at hand... it looks like this is also the latest ever for a year to reach its minimum extent. Every other year reaches its minimum earlier in the autumn. Is this setting a new record late-in-the-year minimum?

Good job.

Thanks for the clarity, makes more sense re: overwintering. Michigan farmer here. We have had no fungus issues with young (new from cuttings) rosemary plants inside overwintering, sorry for your losses. Our rosemary came to us a decade ago as a cutting from a hedge-sized plant in Texas.

Wait, rosemary what? Our garlic is in too, but our rosemary had to come in a while ago, and does every year. We regrow new from cuttings every year inside. You overwinter some outside?? Does the Minas Basin moderate your cold that much?
