i think it’s less that ppl are legit expecting a white christmas in boston every year and more that the probability for one used to be 20 to 30% and it’s now been almost 15 years without one and probability has dropped to 10% and will continue to drop. for someplace like worcester in massachusetts it’s even worse — probability was 67% ish for the boomers and now it’s a little over 30%. only 27 white christmases in boston since 1892 sounds small but when u consider most bostonians had 3 white christmases by their mid-teens on top of all the christmases where there was snow even if it wasn’t one inch and now there are teenagers who haven’t seen even one white christmas… it makes sense why ppl freak out every year it still hasn’t happened.

And that absolutely makes sense, yeah! I have immense climate anxiety too, like I said!

What I was responding to was more the people saying "it's 60 and raining in Boston and it feels like the apocalypse" or "this isn't how it's supposed to be ever; this never used to happen."

I don't know if you saw my longer post, but I went and looked at Boston weather records going back to 1893. Most Decembers from 1893-1903 had multiple days in the upper 50s, with many years getting into the 60s at least once. I didn't track every single year from 1893 to the present, but it seems reasonable to assume that that 10-year period wasn't just a weird fluke. December 1895 actually had more days in the 60s (5) than December 2022 (1).

That's not the full story, of course- December 1895 also had a couple of days in the 20s before that upswing, some with small amounts of snow. You also have things like overnight lows going haywire, and other reminders that climate change is real and it is happening now. I would never, ever attempt to deny that. It's the single biggest problem facing humanity at the moment.

However. There are multiple things to hold in our minds at the same time when thinking about its day-to-day effect on our lives, and one of them is "the effects are seldom as simple as It's Warmer Every Day Now Than It Ever Has Been, And That Will Continue Unilaterally For The Rest Of Our Lives." I'm not trying to deny or negate anything. I'm just trying to make people feel a little less despondent.

(I also just discovered that the metric for a white Christmas here in Boson states that it has to fall before 7 AM, which seems arbitrary and weird. We actually had a white Christmas here in 2017- we got 2.9" of snow -it just fell later in the day. So...it doesn't count for some reason? That's really strange to me. Anyway, the article where I learned this estimates our average yearly "one inch of snow on the ground at 7 AM on Christmas morning" chances nowadays at 19% as of three days ago.)

(I also think this demonstrates what I'm calling Reverse Environmental Amnesia- where, rather than thinking that the effects of climate change have always been normal, you tend to remember past weather in a way that fits the absolute direst interpretation of circumstances. Anyone who was in Boston on Christmas 2017 SHOULD remember the snowstorm...but I've seen multiple locals who don't travel for the holidays agreeing that we've had no Christmas snow at all since 2009.)

#ask #anon #climate change #boston #history #the 7 AM rule is super-weird. like. everyone is saying our last white Christmas was 2009 all over the Internet #but we literally got almost 3 inches six years ago #it somehow just doesn't count because of the timing? I'm calling BS #in that case the first white Christmas of my life- 2010 in Nashville -wasn't real #neither was the second- last year; same place -because it was less than an inch #like this is so arbitrary #to my mind a white Christmas is if you see snow on the ground at some point on December 25th. end of.

The new PJO adaptation is less than 3 weeks away...

...and I just imagined Walker, Leah, and Aryan doing the iconic wand intro that all the Disney Channel shows used to do. Like just picture each of them doing their own version of this:

"Hey, I'm Walker Scobell..."

"Hi, I'm Leah Jeffries...."

"Hey, I'm Aryan Simhadri..."

"...from Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and you're watching Disney Plus!"

*Cue iconic music and signature wand swish*

22 December 2010

The crosswalk made famous by the Abbey Road LP cover is given Grade II listed status by the UK government, which marks the first time such a feature has been granted such protection.

Incidentally, as an American, I used to think the term "zebra crossing" was a Douglas Adams joke.
