weather
Weather is the state of the atmosphere, to the degree that it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy. Most weather phenomena occur in the troposphere, just below the stratosphere. Weather refers to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity, whereas climate is the term for the statistics of atmospheric conditions over longer periods of time. When used without qualification, "weather" is generally understood to mean the weather of Earth.
Weather is driven by air pressure, temperature and moisture differences between one place and another. These differences can occur due to the sun's angle at any particular spot, which varies by latitude from the tropics. The strong temperature contrast between polar and tropical air gives rise to the jet stream. Weather systems in the mid-latitudes, such as extratropical cyclones, are caused by instabilities of the jet stream flow. Because the Earth's axis is tilted relative to its orbital plane, sunlight is incident at different angles at different times of the year. On Earth's surface, temperatures usually range ±40 °C (−40 °F to 100 °F) annually. Over thousands of years, changes in Earth's orbit can affect the amount and distribution of solar energy received by the Earth, thus influencing long-term climate and global climate change.
Surface temperature differences in turn cause pressure differences. Higher altitudes are cooler than lower altitudes due to differences in compressional heating. Weather forecasting is the application of science and technology to predict the state of the atmosphere for a future time and a given location. The system is a chaotic system; so small changes to one part of the system can grow to have large effects on the system as a whole. Human attempts to control the weather have occurred throughout human history, and there is evidence that human activities such as agriculture and industry have modified weather patterns.
Studying how the weather works on other planets has been helpful in understanding how weather works on Earth. A famous landmark in the Solar System, Jupiter's Great Red Spot, is an anticyclonic storm known to have existed for at least 300 years. However, weather is not limited to planetary bodies. A star's corona is constantly being lost to space, creating what is essentially a very thin atmosphere throughout the Solar System. The movement of mass ejected from the Sun is known as the solar wind.

There has been no temperature warming for at least 17 years across the United States, according to results from a rarely referenced dataset that was designed to remove all urban heat distortions.
The dataset, compiled by the Natural Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the U.S...
As the weather changes from hot to cold do you change/alter your EDC or do you carry the same equipment year round? Different training practices, dryfire/livefire routines, clothing adjustments, firearm swaps, changing carry position, ect.? You are your first responder. Stay frosty friends.

I have a complete set of WeatherTech floor mats for a 2005 F-150 crew cab. They were used for about 10 years but still have plenty of service left in them. All that I have done is take them off the shelf and hose them down not sure if the stubborn dirt would come off with soap and elbow grease...

I got this a year after the worst rain I ever had during deer season. But I haven't used it other than at the range in the 3 years I've had it. Great rifle just not my go to deer rifle. It has a Leupold vx2 3-9 that will go with it. No case. Not sure of round count but maybe 25 with me. Asking $550
Given factory match grade 308 ammo with 168 or 150 grain bullets, and a 4 x 16 or 6 x 20 scope, what would one think the effective long distance shooting range would be with this combination? Would taking to gun smith dramatically improve accuracy if additional bedding be preformed? Thanks.
I don't really get it. I don't hunt much big game, I do spend some time in the woods but have never had to dispatch anything from being threatened. Well, that's not true. When I was 18 I had to take care of a couple of wild dogs that had been reported in my area as dangerous. Also took a coyote...

Well worth the effort of watching. It's times like this that it strikes you that Ireland really IS another country, and that the 'gentle brogue' so beloved of the movie script writers, particularly where New York cops are concerned...
a great day was had by all:):):)
using an antique single shot bolt rifle on his first outdoor range visit, within a few minutes he was hitting almost 10/10 steel plates @ 50'; a little more practice on closer smaller steel targets & his enthusiasm was very sparkling to watch.
