    why is there a Thor's hammer symbol on that weather forecast?

    When the Portland Timbers play a home game.

    I have been out of the States for so long.

    Sportsball is now a weather condition.

    I didn't know what it meant either, honestly.

    edit: I mean, I knew it was the timbers but not why it was there.

    I still don't know what the other logo even is/means.

    and I live right nearby.

    The other logo is Portland Thorns (lady soccer).

  • RanlinRanlin Oh gosh Registered User regular
    Oooh, I like it.

    Dang I haven't been to any kind of game in Portland in probably 15 years. I think it was a Beavers game? I only ever went with my dad before he died, and we mainly liked going to Winterhawks games on New Years Eve.

    Two EF0 rated tornadoes touched down in SoCal this morning, just outside of LA.

    What is EF0?

    https://www.weather.gov/tae/ef_scale

    The Enhanced Fujita scale, the higher the number, the more powerful the tornado, so 0 is the weakest type.

    It's used to estimate wind forces based on the damage left behind, and is the replacement for the older F system which I'm guessing was the non-enhanced Fujita scale.

    Too bad it’s not a Fajita scale

    Thank you!

    Did anyone in northwestern Oregon get caught in that rainstorm today?
    I was driving home and thought I was caught in flood, like the freeway was going to wash away. I went from 60+ mph down to something around 40 and was keeping up with traffic just fine. I could see the lane markers about 15 feet in front of my car.

    It was coming down pretty hard.

    Why has the sky been white for the past few weeks? Are there wildfires out west or something?\\

    (Looks it up)

    Oh. Alberta is burning. Yay.

    Alberta is burning and there's a heat dome hitting the PNW that is causing a lot of the ash to get sent east.

    Probably gotta update the average of zero (ZERO) places are predicted to fall below it

    I assume the average is based on every recorded year so it is updating, but it's got the weight of many more years of pre-warming extremity shifts weighting it towards the old average, so far.

    That was my point…just stated as an opaque, non-humorous joke

    Except when it's 100 degrees out, then it's too hot.

    Summer means temps over 65 daily, so I already don't like it. Daily 80+ is some bullshit.

  • LucedesLucedes Registered User regular
    it took a short break but now it's gone back to raining every single week here in the desert

    totally normal times

    OTOH it's not too hot yet, so that's a big plus

  • Sweeney TomSweeney Tom try The Substance it changed my lifeRegistered User regular
    In the middle of week 2 in a row of both "every day the high is at least 70" and "no rain at all", with the 10-day forecast saying there'll be at least week 3 of it too. The grass here was already turning brown from the lack of weather helping it between one day of rain in the last full month prior and 2 inches of snowfall total all "winter". All of this ultra-rare for a state in the Northeast pre-this year, obviously

    Also the week started with me killing my third wasp and sixth spider of the year

    I have very much had enough of summer already. Would prefer it going away forever
