Is there a mercy rule in Ice Hockey?

Absolutely correct, Patrap. An accurate data set doesn't lie.
Something changed in 1998. Pretty flat before and pretty flat after. All years are at or below 1997 before and all are at or above after. A new "normal" happened in a single year.
Based on 1979-1997 sat temps, and I also took a peek at some of the GISS temp data for kicks and will be doing a full blog on that, I predict this new normal should be around until 2019, based on initial analysis back to 1957, and then a new "normal" materializes. Up or down.
More detailed blog entry to follow.
977MB BOMB JUST S OF LI, NY:
relative humidity values below 35 percent and strong 20 foot wind.
Dewpoints across ecentral Florida are expected to bottom out in the single digits tomorrow. With temps in the mid-upper 50's, relative humidities could also go to the aughts(though more likely around 10-15%).
However due to recent rains, I seriously doubt it'll be a problem.
The criteria should be as 25% or lower(not 35%-) for a watch or warning like pretty much every other state(I think Texas also has this dilemma).

Geoffrey Hill reciting "The Storm"
(Geoff, I was just fooling around with your name and you weather, and found this ... I don't think the poet is talking about weather, though, but a woman!?! Need to find a transcript...)
From poemhunter.com:
Regarding both his style and subject, Hill is often described as a "difficult" poet. He makes circumspect use of traditional rhetoric (as well as that of modernism), but he also transcribes the idioms of public life, such as those of television, political sloganeering, and punditry. Hill has been consistently drawn to morally problematic and violent episodes in British and European history, though it should be noted that his accounts of landscape (especially that of his native Worcestershire) are as intense as his encounters with history. (He has written perhaps the most important poetic responses to the Holocaust in English, 'Two Formal Elegies', 'September Song' and 'Ovid in the Third Reich'.) In an interview in The Paris Review (2000), which published Hill's early poem 'Genesis' when he was still at Oxford, Hill defended the right of poets to difficulty as a form of resistance to the demeaning simplifications imposed by 'maestros of the world'. Hill also argued that to be difficult is to be democratic, equating the demand for simplicity with the demands of tyrants.
Close Encounters of the Absurd Kind

"Current National Threat Level is elevated
The threat level in the airline sector is High or Orange..."
The temp. in Trinidad peaked at 96.8 F at the airport today.
I believe that there has never been a hotter day here.
Where is the thermometer and what has been built around it from the time it was installed?
And is the reading of temp automatic or from human whims?
Important questions don't you think given recent temp. reading simple mistakes.
Joining the discussion, re Theatre of the Climate of the Absurd, aka Defcon 5?
#317 kinda a rhetorical question.
Just Spathy being Spathy.
Did you see the pome I dedicated to you, #311?
Pleez 'splain it to me if you can make it out, lol!
If you do that same horizontal line TRICK for 2010 onward, then we are already at a spot that would be almost two jumps above the first one you made to represent the new "normal" from 1998 onward, in order to hide the increase.
It looks like this storm will give us about 25 cm of snow within 72 hours. However the last major storm we had was out in Nova Scotia when the snowsqualls hit and while it was only predicted to drop 10 cm, it dumped 25 cm overnight over my location. This storm looks like it will be closer to us at peak strength as well as head closer to us later, and it could be even stronger so could we perhaps more than a foot of snow?!
Now THIS looks like an amazing storm for March 10! GFS dumps over half an inch of rainwater equivalent over my location. GFS 18z @ 336h:
GFS only gives us 25 cm of snow (8 in) with that storm but 40 cm (16 in) with the current storm. WOW!
I dont mind you being annoying at all! heheheheh
Actually, the weather station has been in the same location for about 60 years, about 50 yds from the nearest highway, and mostly surrounded by grass.
Now!!! I was flying from Tobago at 5:00 pm and noted a lot of fires. So PERHAPS there was one just upwind from the station.
Type 'PIARCO' in the search box above to look at this stations history.
Also, the thermometer on my patio hit 97 today as well. But there were certainly fires around here today. Nearly drove my wife mad.
I am going to call the Met. Office in the morning to clear the thing up though!

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — A sudden, vertical blast of wind knocked the three-masted SV Concordia onto its side in 15 seconds, forcing the captain and four dozen students to abandon ship and ride out heavy seas for nearly two days before their rescue off Brazil's Atlantic coast, the survivors said Saturday.

Wind causes damage in Manatee County
Bradenton, Florida - Some residents in a Bradenton neighborhood are cleaning up after what local emergency officials are calling a small tornado.
The National Weather Service says it was actually a microburst that blew through the neighborhood with 50 mph winds.

Still raining here, with some serious downpours and even thunder / lightning again this evening (2nd time today). Our record high of 90 was set in 2008, but that 96 for Trinidad seems wild at any time of the year, much less late February. Pottery, what's the all-time record high temp for that area / station?
This weather is soooooo weird for this time of year. Our average is usually clear / sunny with temps around 80; this volume and intensity of moisture is really outside the norm. I think I will check in with our own met office tomorrow to find out if we've broken rainfall records..... I'm fairly sure we have....
Mostly cloud-free skies allowed the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite this largely unobstructed view of the western continental United States on February 23, 2010.
From northern New Mexico, the Rocky Mountains stretch northward through Colorado and Wyoming. Along the eastern face of this mountain range, rugged terrain gives way to prairie, including the flat topography of eastern Wyoming and Colorado. Mountains extend far westward, however, with snow cover accentuating mountain peaks all the way to Salt Lake City. The snow-free Grand Canyon snakes a serpentine path in the southwest, but the land surrounding that park is snow covered, as is much of northern Arizona and New Mexico.

I don't need media.
Wait on my blog. And I do have you on record saying 1C by 2013, iirc.
I'll be validating you too. ;)
How can Canada have won the Womens 2- Man Bobsled event??
It just does not seem right.
Surely, this is taking the lack of sexual discrimination too far, man!
I asked myself the same thing as I typed it... got a SNAG headache, so I left the thinking alone.
I'm not a quack. Just a guy looking at data. :)
Hummm ?
WMO: “. . . we cannot at this time conclusively identify anthropogenic signals in past tropical cyclone data.”
Why do you think this is happening? Perhaps the litigation from US states concerning the EPA's CO2 endangerment finding? They will have to prove that in a court of law now. No more hiding behind a curtain!

Good news is --opinion and analysis without political influence is upon us :)
did anyone see the Purdue Minnesota game???
Holy hell that was good!
Yes. I pray for his father and him (believe it or not I pray for Kieth a lot).
The ironic thing is, though, that in a govt run system they would not go to all those measures (not cost effective) and his father, most likely, would not have been around for him to experience that.
Please, by all means, show me a case where those extraordinary measures are taken in a govt run health system. I'll listen.
The interaction between GW and TCs is very complex. The pattern will be more clear in the coming decades, but we can't wait that long.
hopefully it'll get better. Supposedly 8-12 inches tomorrow morning. but last time they said a foot it ended up being an inch so , idk anymore. expecting about 2 inches and sunny when i get up at like 11am.
Well good on ya for understanding an annoying Spathy.
and checking out any anomaly's.
That particular station does not sound problematic.
Fire does!
Is everything safe where you are?
It's certainly disturbing; I feel so badly for everyone involved.
I'm thinking -- this is just off the top of my head -- that this isn't about gov't run vs. a privately run system -- but the need for a more holistic approach. I'm not talking about alternative medicine, although some of that may have been helpful.
I'm talking about someone taking charge and overseeing all the specialists, also a patient-advocate as 1st Lieutenant, first making sure they "do no harm," or at least as little harm as possible.
Easy for me to Monday-morning quarterback... it's just so sad. Small solace that it is, I'm glad the son can speak so eloquently for and about his father.
150 feet from a highway does not sound natural and could be tainted.
Trust me placement of my own weather station was nearly impossible.
Including 40 feet from a two lane road with almost no traffic.
That placement caused a 25 degree spike above any possible norm.
Add hundreds or tens of thousands of cars and a wind from a bias direction.
Wow.
Weather stations are by standard supposed to be in natural conditions completely away from any possible contamination.
Complex, yes. Just as complex as the interaction of the Sun with high and low cloud formation, and deep ocean currents and cycles with polar ice melt's are on our climate. Do we know the answers? Is it a crisis like none other we have ever seen, as the Swine flu was said to be? I don't know for sure, but I do know when lawyers get involved, we wait.......
Yes, a true son. Bless him.
"Do no harm" isn't going anywhere, under any system. Aside from abortion which is excepted from that for some strange reason, but I digress, and will not get into that topic here. I can't even imagine the fireworks.
Nothing wrong with counseling, but to be perfectly realistic, does anyone need that? Really? Certain things are just innate.
Great photo, pat, and I took a while to look it over closely to see if I could Identifiy some of the "landmarks".... great stuff.
I was also interested the other day to hear that Prez Obama et al are fighting for banking reforms for credit card holders, some of which have been in place in The Bahamas since I started banking in my late teens. I'm thinking things like CC companies not being able to hike rates in the middle of cycle.... basic stuff. I find it amazing that Americans seem to have more control over their banking than they do over their health.
