Fescue certainly seems to be hardy in "the cool" although there is a local saying that a cow could starve to death eating fescue. So let us not forget the prairie grasses (blue stem etc). While they are warm season grasses, they "is" tough. Over the last 10 years I've watched the natives recolonize a 30-acre field that was replanted to fescue after its last cropping in the 60s. They are truely amazing grasses. I am assuming this has occurred from a dorment seed. Could be wrong. I'd like to see that happen on my land. I originaly talked withn the university extension people. They told me I needed to chemically burn off the existing fescue two times, and then plant the natives. I just waited, and it slowly emerged, first slowly, and then faster. They don't seem to care that there is an understory of fescue. Every year now (after 10 years) the indian grass, and little blue, with a scattering of big blue come back in a headhigh standing wave. Don't know if the seed stock was latent in the ground over so many years, or whether it drifted in. My dad plant the smaller back pasture of natives many years back, but it doesn't have the concentration of blues. It could have come from there, but it is separated from the big field by a long, 1880s railroad cut that was dammed on either end is has long been a pond, heavilly timbered along its edges. The mix of grasses looks different though. Life will find a way ... very slowly. I could add buffalo, but the fence would have to be humongous ... and then they would trample me into dust. They are very friendly.  |

I've spent winters praying to see charts like this.

Watching the little pressure anomaly balls go round and round. What exactly is it you've been waiting for in comparison to? Wish there were a long time series of these that could be visually and numerically compared across other time periods. There probably is, but I can't access them. This assumes that pressure is a descriptive variable (as above, so below). I have only a small number (4) of surface stations I monitor to tease out long-term pressure changes that "we" believe are indicative of changes in the strength of the Hadley cells in the sub-tropical Atlantic. And, in an age of monstrous digital data bases, the fact that I have to manually extract these selected tidbits is a major travesty. Ya hear that oh high muckity mucks ... a major travesty.   www.meteociel.fr/modeles/gfse_cartes.php?ech=12&code=code&mode=12&mode3h=0&runpara=0&carte=1 |

It's now meteorological summer.
This post blew my mind! Nothing to do with CO², Just the atmosphere doing what it does but in ways I never fathomed it does it!
Imagine if this was winter.....

It's June 2 and I can easily see my breath outside this evening...
And more of the same weather forecast 10 days out.

Strange weather. Houston has only recorded one 90 degree day this summer. The high today in Bismarck, ND as we type this is 100F. We have also received rain on 19 of the last 23 days.
And to think a few years ago drought was the new norm for Texas in a warming world...
