    dunno, is this an actual image of Jupiter?  

    wary of artist interprettion/representation images

    New image from NASA’s Jupiter mission @NASAJuno This image captures the swirling cloud formations in #Jupiter’s terminator – the region where day meets night.

    #JunoCam

    Looks like one of my eyeballs after an all-nighter.  Back when I was capable of doing all-nighters. indecision

    But you're probably right, it's probably a false color image highlighting certain gases in the atmosphere. enlightened

    Here we go again...another nor'Easter has is sights on us for tomorrow, starting around 4:00 pm in our area.  And once again, our area will start with rain, then change over to snow.  And of course, in between probably freezing rain...or it may just make slush...which will also probably freeze.  What fun.   indecision​

    Complaint: I've finally succumbed to illness. Everyone in my house has been sick for the past 3 weeks and now it's finally got me. A bad cough for the past few days and now the sneezing and runny nose. This sucks.

    No fever yet?    Just wait. surprise  And remember: "Time heals all wells." frown  (Or at least I think that was the expression.  Or was it "Time yields all wounds"? indecision)

    complaint    I have waited patiently, watching the snow melt ( slightly more enthralling than watching paint dry, but not much)  and now it is down to the stage that I feel I should be able to clear the last 6 inches or so away from my doorway, so have placed a grocery order to be delivered tomorrow.

    So what does the met office do.  It issues another warning for snow overnight and into the morning tomorrow

    Chief Forecaster's assessment
    An area of rain will arrive into southwestern parts of England and Wales later on Wednesday evening. This will move northeastwards and turn increasingly to snow over the high ground of Wales, parts of the Midlands and into southern parts of northern England overnight and through Thursday morning, with some snow to lower levels later. Much of the lower ground will see little if any snow accumulating, but 1-3 cm is likely in some places, with 5 cm above 200 metres and possibly 10 cm on roads above 300 metres.

    I live at 365 metres

    You do realize that if you hadn't snt out for groceris, it would be sunny and warm? :-/

  • NVIATWASNVIATWAS Posts: 1,242

    49f right now and very sunny 0 window closed, curtains open a bit.  Cooking up susage and beans for breakfast as I start in on my third cuppa, this one decaf. Love coffee flavor but don't always want a raging caffiene buzz.. :-O

    Debating sending out for pizza.  It's only going to hit 65f so I'm not enthused about a long, windy wlk to the store.  It should be around 74f on Friday, making for a more enjoyable walk.

    It's time to put the Alesis Vortex MIDI controller up for sale and that means some clean-up to take pics, I want to post late Friday night to catch musicians over the weekend.  This will clear the way to sell the guitar, the amp, and finally th rolling studio chair.

    390m here.  We're in the extreme western foothills of the Appalachian Mountains that go up through the middle of NY State. My little town lies along the Conewango Creek in the last couple of ridges before the mid-west flatlands that begin in the state of Ohio.  Mountains to our east and south.  The Eastern Continental Divide runs through this county.  Our little creek drains south into the Allegheny River, then to the Mississippi River and eventually into the Gulf of Mexico.  But water east and north of us drains either north or east eventually into the Atlantic Ocean.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chautauqua_County,_New_York

    Interesting to note that the Allegheny River runs north/south about 20 miles east of here and at that point is in the Seneca Indian reservation.  A sign on the bridge crossing the river says that the name in Seneca for the river is "Oh-Hi-Yo".  Lots of Indian names for things around here.

    I did an image once, using the Seneca indians, the Allegheney river and the Kinzua Dam.  Based on a song by Johhny cash called "As long as the grass shall grow"

    This is the song, if you are interested

    Yep, very familiar with the song.  Nice collection of Indian portraits in the image! 

    I remember my parents taking us on the old roads back in the '50s that went through the deep narrow valleys of the southern areas of the reservation down in Pennsylvania that are now underwater.  I remember the controversy and the building of Kinzua dam.  Up at the northern end of the lake where Interstate 86 crosses the Allegheny River (that I mentioned in my last post) the river valley is at the top end of the dam's lake, and is very broad and does turn into swamp in summer.  The city of Salamanca is within the borders of the Seneca reservation and the 100 year lease from the Seneca expired a few decades ago so the city is now theirs too.  Cigarettes and gasoline are not taxed on the reservation, and gambling is legal so they have a huge casino at Salamanca.  Interstate 86 is essentially the only major road running through the mountains anywhere near Salamanca and is maintained by NY State.  The State and the Seneca have had several disagreements about how the costs of maintaining the part of the Interstate that goes through the reservation are handled.  For a period of a few years the Seneca refused to give their share of road maintenance so the State stopped repairing the Interstate through the reservation.  It didn't take long for the road to become a moonscape.  People stopped going to Salamanca for cigarettes, gas or the casino.  Truckers would take long detours around the reservation to get to the cities of Jamestown and Erie and Cleveland on the west, or Olean* and Binghamton and NYC on the east.  The battle of wills went on for several years but has recently (about a year) apparently finally been settled and the Interstate is again passable.

    *Note:  "Olean" is pronounced "Oh-Lee-Ann".yes  NOT "Oh-Leen" no

    Morning. Been stuck in freeway traffic for more than an hour with a flakey internet connection complaint. Complaint more; can’t get out of the cab and walk somewhere else. Non complaint: finished all the paperwork I’m carrying. Double complaint: boredom is starting to set in :)
