BIG ISLAND VIDEO NEWS

http://www.bigislandvideonews.com/2015/ ... day-jan-8/

Has a 4 minute presentation by one of the archeologists about how the lava is moving with some fantastic pictures of the flow.

It's worth the listen.

There are equally spectacular pictures in the January 7th update but not on video and not explained.

However, there's no one to talk about it and explain it. So open two windows and look at the pictures of the previous day during the discussion I've linked to.

Dear River DEAR

How about some of your praises for your deities of Winter

for your buddies in the EA:hearthrobLand ?

How cold is it now?

How cold is it now?

Black ice and snow on the ground

It is La La Land weather in La La Land.



I bought some raspberry and blackberry root stocks from Home Depot and some Yukon Yellow seed potatoes, sweet onion, brown onion and two kinds of Asparagus stock. Amazingly, their garlic that put them on gardeners' maps is no longer available. I mean it grew potent, eye watering garlic. Suck is life in La La Land. :-\

Like if there is no really bad weather, would you know good weather?

Its hot today, 81 deg with a slight breeze unlike other parts of the country that is freezing. We could use some rain however, its not rained in a few weeks and next week looks the same. This is not good when you depend on the rain for you drinking water however for a price the water truck will come full your tank back to the top. Its really not that expensive but a good rain would do a lot to help all the plants that are dying.

Our drought is nothing like the one in California which is called the worst ever. I wonder how much its costing Moi to water his garden??? Or when he will need to let the crops die for watering the trees?

Use As Much Infrastructure As You Can Afford

Conservation if a fool's bet. Growth remains unchecked with conservation little better than the fifties standards.

Desert sprawl with no solar roofs? New neighborhoods with no gray water collection and recycling.

Conservation has just allowed the Rich to get Grosser.

Then with my medical need discount on gas and electricity, What A Wonderful World indeed.

I will use all the water I desire for my garden's well being.

Send the water police.

BTW soon the Water Truck may not be able to make it up the road.

The Lava, Ms Pele, she moves again per NBC News.

RiverLava, don't you miss your deities of Winter at all?

I use to visit Milwaukee for years after I left. In the winter for a week or two of White Winter, then back to the Golden State.

HEY, Wintervolks. aren't you having some weatherful times.

Cars and Trucks skating on the highways.

How are those heating bills? Fuel oil down or up? I bet Yours was refined before the cost of oil crashed.

La La Land remains, La La Land with a cozy, comfy, soft winter.

A lovely rain today. Probably just a quarter to half an inch.

It occurred during the afternoon and came from the South.

Not usual. Still nice.

How's Y'r Weather ?

MSNBC is running a 24-hour live marathon news extravaganza and wholesale festival of coverage of the snow.

You can satisfy your interest in schadenfreude by tuning in.

I will say this - they have a reporter in Times Square and although the cars are gone there are people at the bars and walking the empty streets just to see the snow. Also dog walkers taking their dogs out in sweaters to poo. You have to understand Manhattan and Times Square to even begin to understand why any of this is normal for Manhattanites.

There was a time when a man in a white tutu, tights and ballet shoes would appear on 42 Street at Times Square, cross the street "en-pointe" and go back to wherever he came from every night. Nobody ever thought that was strange, so what's a foot of snow?

Funny you should say that, my roommate said the same thing, "they only thing there talking about today is SNOW, what gives?" so I broke it to him, The president is out of the country and its otherwise a slow news day, the other side has not said or done anything stupid today so its SNOW.

The only news I watch now days is whats happening with the Volcano, other then that if its not weather related I could care less and then only if its local.

Since this is a thread about weather - I have a need to dump on weathermen.

The reason that the storm did not dump more snow on Manhattan was approximately 20 miles. The center of the storm moved east into the atlantic ocean about 20 miles more than the models predicted and the bands of snow did not center over Manhattan. It is the center of the storm that counts.

The weather predicting models, as good as they are, can't get that detail over the ocean.

I watch 'bands" of mostly rain but in the winter it is snow coming off Lake Erie into Ohio and Pennsylvania all the time. "Bands" of snow from the Atlantic are almost the same. These bands can be ten miles wide and can hold still to create the heavy rainfall (or snowfall) in one neighborhood while another gets half or even a third of the amount. When the weathermen talk about "sheets" of rain - that is the same effect.

What sends me into screaming rages is some idiot weather official who pontificates about the wonderful silence and pleasure of a four or six inch snow.

What an asshole -- thousands or people are going to suffer through that snow and he/she/it thinks it is somehow wonderful?

That person needs to be kicked around the neighborhood twenty or thirty times or beaten into senility with a plastic snow shovel. Evil things like that.

Don't get me started, when TV stations every one in town is showing the same weather event on there A and B channels just to make sure nobody misses anything, and you see a guy so excited he is about to pee in his pants because there is a Tornado in the area and has touched down briefly and because of this, BECAUSE EVERYBODY WANTS TO KNOW, and nobody of course is interested in the Stanley Cup Playoff final game 7 which is taken off the air because of the weather men need to masturbate on 20 different channels at once. They of course have the ability to run a banner across the bottom of the screen but this is BIG NEWS more important than anything else in the world.

Yea that happened.

We now live in the moment, the 24/7/365 news cycle moment where sound bites are more important then life. Except of course out here in Hawai'i where most people don't even watch the news or TV for that matter, we have come to the realization that there is more to life then the Weather Channel what ever news cycle they are calling it.

This year we have had a Hurricane, we have a lava flow taking out our town, and other then me telling you what is going on has any of it ever been on National news? other then a sound bite. I came to realize that the only news of importance is that is happening on the EAST coast, it is because it is the center of the universe or so they believe.

I am so glad to be as far away from that as I can get and still be in the USA, like I said, I live 5 miles beyond the end of the road and loving it.

Aloha

Paolo,

MAXIMUM of 9" of snow NORTH of I-70. Starts Saturday evening. Still time to buy a ticket and fly to see Jesus! (or River)
