Heavy Snow, Strong Winds To Hammer South Dakota, Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin, Michigan
Am thinking this might give the depressed energy sector a shot in the arm. ... Or perhaps they'll just rely on their solar powered plow trucks & snowblowers up in Minneapolis.
@ted: We're near Clearwater Beach at present. 60s today. Supposed to warm to mid 70s soon. Back to Michigan next week where the snowblower waits.
Just keep the markets moving higher will ya? We can deal with the rest. BTW - That's a nice looking forecast you linked. I'd definitely suggest you spend Thursday night at the beach.
One day, a great national project. Move water from anywhere in the country (or maybe the continent) from places that have too much to places that have too little.
Nantucket Sound. http://www.capewind.org/index.php "National Grid is having to double electricity generation prices for Massachusetts customers and a big increase is in store for NSTAR customers too. The reason is the stress placed on fixed natural gas pipeline capacity coming into New England, which has to import its fossil fuels. Natural gas demand in winter has grown much more quickly than supply. Tapping more local, clean, and inexhaustable energy sources, like Cape Wind, will help reduce the stress on this system, thereby reducing prices and increasing electric reliability." Should I be glad that my provider is Western Mass. Electric Company, instead?
As long as it's warm enough to keep melting the snow that does fall, I won't mind so much. We've been warned about the polar vortex and extreme crap here, too. But I see nothing bone-chilling nor surprising in the offing. Snow, snow, go away. Just stay the hell outa the picture. Please. http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/Springfield+MA+01108
Tomorrow's forecast for my location; 31 degrees Celsius. Clear with UV Index reading of 11. Light winds from the northeast. Visibility should be very good. Calm sea.
@John Chisum: Its all about location ? location ?--what's the mystery, where the hell is "31 degrees Celsius. Clear with UV Index reading of 11. Light winds from the northeast. Visibility should be very good. Calm sea. " Regards, Ted
Anyway, it's November and it does snow and get cold in some areas. The media is trying to rile up the masses with this "polar vortex" thing like it never happened before. Good luck to everyone in the affected areas and keep warm.
@Old_Skeet, that's pretty close. Starting at the marker follow the road to the coastal highway then turn left. I'm at the head of that large promontory that sticks out into the ocean. It's elevated about 60-70 feet or more above sea level.
Hello! Thanks for asking. I must confess ignorance. NIMBY? Also, your link opens to a map of wind-generation locations. Is that what you meant to send?

UNG is up almost 13% in the last week.
This is a trader's play, short term; most likely.
Stay warmer down there
But, you'll have to throw your own snow.

Lots of badass trucks in your part of Florida
Here's our forecast for the week...
Although honestly, we need the rain.

It is apparent, that Ted hasn't been paying much attention to your comments.
Edit, just tried it and no such luck. Map will do it though.
I tried the coordinates after you posted them and found the general area on a map.

Any NIMBY's out there?

Well, your comment above certainly meets the "no more than 80 words" criteria. Now, if we could only get you-know-who to be that succinct...
