Beautiful 85 and sun yesterday. Still lacking rain here though. We have had an inch of rain the last 60 days. Its all or nothing around these parts.

Closest cocorahs has me at 0.85" since Saturday. Not bad.

It may be very difficult to define how much extra damage is caused by the sea level rise. What astonishes me, is that the 6 to 10 inches in sea level rise over the last 100 years is not uniform. I think most of us originally learned that sea level is uniform, and all bodies of water, including landlocked ones, seek to reach sea level. So a lot would depend on local topography and man made containment. I'm sure the west coast, with it's pronounced sea bottom drop off, has much different impacts on flooding than the shallow east coast sea bed. First we woud have to explore the generalalities of coastlines, then focus on specific local impacts the sea level rise would have on flooding and beach erosion.

I have been begging for permanent DST for years, I hope it actually happens

I don't agree with "as advertised". Yes, it was a Nor'Easter, with all the usual conditions as you stated. But it was not nearly as intense as advertised. We can nit pick every last stat. Again, that is not to downplay the results, but it could have been much worse. The duration was the main player, which increased flooding and beach erosion...

Thanks I’m right on the 5.13 .

Storm total rainfall at my casa was 1.01".

According to NWS, Moses had a wind gust of 60 early Monday morning and Eaton’s Neck had a 57mph gust around the same time but most of the strongest gusts were in the 40-50mph range, even the beaches. JFK’s was 44mph https://partnerservices.nws.noaa.gov/products/cache/286-2025/PNSOKX/74b10c34b8e31e4cc95546e8eacf7578 still gusting in the 25-30mph range by me, but they are getting fewer and further between as the morning progresses.

Nasty sheet rain/DZ here. Davis is contaminated with leaves and affected by trees when it's windy and plain rain gauge not up due to new fence so have to go by other gauges around here. Looks like N of 5.5". I want to get a new Davis gauge, but with trees nearby, it still has an effect on windy days. Need to figure out where to put a stratus.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. And I'm done with seeing double barrel lows the last few years lol

Finished with 1.03 inches at my station

Ill check the others but for these, this is what i see EWR: 38 MPH NYC: 37 MOH

5.80" but looks like we won't hit 6". There's gotta be some 7"+ totals somewhere along route 3 or even Bourne,Mashpee, or southern parts of Sandwich.

Im assuming there is work to be done for the systems that are automatically set to DST . Maybe not. Either way, its unlikely.

and maximum wind gusts at these locations Tony?

Rainfall 3 days totals NYC: 1.74 JFK: 1.73 LGA: 1.70 EWR: 1.15 New Brnswck: 0.97 TTN: 0.25

Lows:EWR: 32 (1932)NYC: 37 (1988)LGA: 40 (1993)JFK: 37 (1993) 1993 was really interesting we went from endless historic heat to record cold in October back to historic heat in mid November followed by a historic winter.

If the banding set up over them it would have upped the seasonal total at the park to about 18", a bit below their long term seasonal average of about 25". Certainly not "well below".

why would it be a computer coding pain as opposed to just staying on one time all year long? some states don't even go to DST.

JFK had even higher winds didn't they? I saw some reports of 60 mph winds on Long Island

Because you claimed the "cooling period" started in January and February, so I wanted to roll forward that "cooling period" to the months afterwards, but I couldn't find it. To answer your question from February (where you chose to only include a map from January through February 21st) No, it is not.

1.40" in Haverhill. While the total is beneficial...averaging under 0.04"/hr for the duration of the storm is pretty boring.

"President Trump is urging Congress to pass legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent," Earlier this morning it was reported that there is new pressure from the Whitehouse to stay on Daylight savings time. With only a little more than 3 weeks left it seems unlikely and also a computer coding pain. Again, the likely outcome will be to stay as we are now and clocks will go back to Standard time this fall and ahead in March. It will be interesting if something does materialize to test (POC) this fall by remaining on Daylight Savings time. Not sure an executive order would work. I believe in the 70s (1973) it was house/senate voting on it and the same in Oct 1974 to revert back to the changes as well as 2007 extending DST from April - Oct to March - Nov (early) and shortening ST from Oct - Apr to Nov - Mar.

Nor’easters have been few and far between in recent years. This was our first one in quite some time. It’s the only time all year that we had NE gusts over 45 mph at place like LGA. All the other days with winds gusts over 45 came from a more westerly component.
