As long as I can see the number going down I'm happy.

We noticed. The Atlantic current used to break upon us constantly, leaving never-ending rain. Now it tends to keep going North, pushing the cold air towards the Americas.

Why does it feel like this might be one and done for the winter in the northeast?

We're going to have some "old fashioned" cold weather. In the Boston area, likelihood of dangerous wind chills from Friday morning through Saturday afternoon. If you're going to be outside or traveling, check your local NWS forecast (weather.gov) and be prepared.

Sure they just had humans doing it, which seems equivalent.

There are lots of government employees in Florida that have TT, as well as many agencies. Not sure what the parameters are, but this graphic could be very misleading.

From the way you talk I'd assume you know but keep in mind that bodyfat measurements are almost all relatively inaccurate and imprecise. I suppose the precision doesn't matter much if you do it over longer times to see the trend.

> I think it's interesting that the calculated caloric deficit matches my actual weight loss so accurately
Why? Isn't that exactly what you should expect?

At approximately 1.5 km up in the atmosphere, the coldest temperatures in the world are over Hudson Bay and headed for the US. Looking at the lower atmosphere rather than the surface temperature (mostly) removes the influence of elevation. The temperatures are shown in degrees Celsius on the 850 hPa pressure level, which is approximately 1.5 km above the surface.

It's actually pretty cool, there's a vast inland delta where the average annual evaporation is ~equal to the average annual inflow. The water pools in a vast area of brackish swamp and lagoons which swell in the wet season and reduce in the dry.

Read what you just wrote again.
The rest of the world pronounces it out fully as in ‘dou-bel-you’. As you say, it’s literally a double U not dub-uh-you lol.
Some countries also say dou-bel-vee.

i had no idea how little overlap there was between production times of the different models after the 80s.
