Yes, you're right...I got my invests mixed up

I may be wrong, but I don’t recall the NHC delivering key messages for an undesignated or non-PTC system.

Surprised there isn't more chatter around here regarding the twin tropical potential.

Might be declared at 5pm with that LLC tucking under the convection on IR.

That may be the only thing that saves the east coast…

yeah suburban street lights suck too, especially the new LED broadband lights they've installed. Just using myself as an example I sleep at least 2-3 hours more when I'm in the Poconos and it's pitch black there no noise no lights. (Not only are there no street lights there, there aren't even any traffic lights lol.)

Disagree. 93L is far enough east it would’ve always been caught in that weakness and shipped out. 94L is exactly the kind of system that could threaten the EC this year—weak and buried in the Bahamas before finding itself potentially captured by a cutoff or blocked by an over the top ridge. We should all be selling the ops but the ensembles have been clear this is something to watch for the east coast if not a bona fide threat, which I’m not ready to call yet. NOAA is taking it seriously—we’re already getting key messages and recon out there. Edit: usual caveats for New England—meh, this no chance here, don’t waste your time.

lol you sound like me at least there are less planes flying over here late at night. it starts up around 5 am though

I also have them in my room. They are great .

I do too, it's better on Long Island. In Manhattan it might not be enough. I agree with you about smart city planning being ideal. From my previous post: The ideal solution (better than either traffic or mass transit) is to walk or bike ride. Maybe that's what PSV means? Make our cities more walkable and amenable to bike riding like they do in Europe? Their food is far healthier too (far less processed).

Brooklyn might be worse

this assumes that people aren't driving, unfortunately too many people drive through the city and the NO2 pollution from that makes asthma rates worse.

I have black out curtains out here. No problem

you'd need black out curtains not regular curtains. Even that sometimes isn't enough. There is a lawsuit against light pollution going on currently from an apartment complex in the city because the outside lights strobe right in through the windows and even wearing eyepatches isn't enough. Light pollution is highly wasteful and has not proven to help reduce crime at all, if anything it helps criminals see better in the dark

Traffic and environment wise yes, physical and mental health wise, no.

If most people who live in a city are not impacted, then who is impacted? I have planes flying over my head constantly and I'm 4 miles east of the airport, even places like Mineola get affected, it's a major quality of life issue. The local councilwoman is suing the FAA for jamming 13,000 flights in a month and flying planes 1000 feet lower because of newer tech. It's driving me crazy. You want to trade since noise isn't a real issue that doesn't affect most?

but asthma rates are the highest in big cities and that has been directly connected to why the the pandemic was so much worse in the parts of the city that are most highly trafficked. densely packed cities means more air pollution (mainly due to increased traffic)

It’s better from a traffic, air pollution perspective. Also proper urban planning is the best for the environment

Someoudd from today. @Jns2183 this is my fav cocktail to date - Gotlands gin, sour cherries, hazelnut, Meadowsweet vermouth

Is there?

There are studies that show the benefits of light and noise pollution? Or you mean living in a big city? I'd love to know what these positives are considering it's a completely artificial environment.

What the hell is going on in here? There’s actual weather to track and this is the discussion…

Densely packed cities are best for the environment. The light pollution argument is ridiculous. Most people have curtains and suburbs have street lights too. as for noise pollution that is a different story, but most people who live in the city are not impacted

Elevation is cheating yes.

For the coastal plain/piedmont that is true. At my location in extreme NW NC at 4000 feet, we have had many above normal snow years in warm winters. We average at least 45 inches and approximately 80 percent of that comes from upslope. We have never had a winter without at least 20 inches of snow here mostly due to the reliability of upslope even in total dud winters.
