all that excess water vapor is nasty, we could really put it to use by converting it to drinking water, there are devices already available that can do this

1947-48 was our snowiest season on record for many decades.

Maybe he appreciates lower heating costs or it could also be that we're coming to the realization that we've already experienced the coldest and snowiest winters we are likely to ever experience in our entire lives and anything from this point on is gravy. For me it's both 1 and 2, but I will say I still get really upset when a big snowstorm busts, a la March 2001 or January 2008. It's much easier to handle a mild winter with no snowfall threats at all than a mediocre winter with predicted snowstorms that don't pan out.

eerie similarities between 2001 Erin which was active on 9/11 and this one:

Went to the Thomas Rhett concert at Jiffy Lube Live tonight - gorgeous weather and a fantastic concert!

To be fair, the drama this week has me reading everyone’s posts during an otherwise slow stretch of weather.

Last 90 F (or higher) reading at NYC in the period 1970 to 2024 Aug 10 or earlier __ 1975 (Aug 5th), 1981 (Aug 10th), 1982 (07-27), 1986 (07-26)^ 1999 (Aug 5th), 2000 (Aug 9th), 2001 (10th), 2006 (3rd), 2007 (8th), 2011 (8th), Aug 11-15 _________ 1988 (15th), 1994 (14th) Aug 16-20 ________ 1984 (16th), 1987 (18th), 1997 (17th), 2009 (19th), Aug 21-25 ________ 1974 (24th), 1976 (23rd), 1978 (24th), 1996 (23rd), 2003 (22nd), Aug 26-31 ________ 1990 (27th), 1992 (26th), 2004 (28th), 2020 (27th), 2021 (27th), 2024 (28th) Sep 1-5 ___________ 1973 (4th), 1977 (3rd), 1979 (4th), 2008 (4th), 2012 (1st), 2022 (4th) Sep 6-10 __________ 1971 (9th), 1985 (6th), 1998 (6th), 2002 (10th), 2010 (8th), 2014 (6th), 2015 (9th), 2016 (10th), 2018 (6th), 2023 (8th), Sep 11-15 __________ 1989 (11th), 1993 (15th), 1995 (14th), 2005 (13th), 2013 (11th), Sep 16 or later _____1970 (26th), 1972 (17th), 1980 (22nd), 1983 (20th), 1991 (17th), 2017 (24th), 2019 (Oct 2nd) _____________ ^ 1986 had 89F on Sep 30. Median is Sep 1, average of 55 days is Aug 30. (for 1991-2024 median is Sep 2.5 and the average is Sep 2) There is a 50-50 chance of last 90 being before or after Labor Day weekend in the recent data and even way back, 47 of the 101 years not in the above list had a 90 in Sep or Oct, including every year 1936 to 1946, three of which were in October (1938, 1939, 1941). 1947 had a very warm autumn too but its September max was 89F. Despite that, the average high from Aug 31 to Sep 19 was 84F and October 1947 was warmest on record. I believe it was a bad season for forest fires in the eastern U.S.

I do and based on available evidence, it seems appropriate.

P&C has us 1 degree short of 3 nights in row in the 40's Mon-Wed. I don't think I ever remember 3 consecutive sub 50 evenings around here in August. Preface of things to come a few months down the road (as long as there's flakes involved of course ) ? A weenie can wish lol

Summer 2025 to date for Central Park:

Do you appreciate them or they just don't bother you as much as when you were younger?

as you get older you appreciate mild winters...

For JFK, it is August 23rd (1991-2020 baseline).

For NYC it was September 4th. I think you wanted to know for JFK, I don't have the data but would bet it works out close to that.

I'm staying in the city this weekend and the mosquitoes are out of control here. It's nothing like this in the swamps of Calvert or on the mountain. They just swarm out of the sewer grates and descend on you in the city. I'm lucky that I don't actually get mosquito bites, but that doesn't mean I like it when they bite me.

I have hundreds flying around my yard today with no nests I can find. Same deal at work. I've been getting complaints from my restauranteur clients about them constantly pestering diners.

I have not seen many yellow jackets over the last few years. Went to Red Robin for dinner and sat outside and had one fly around our food but that legit may have been the first I saw this year

Yellow jackets have been insane this year.

Just had a big spider race across the bed…came out from under the blankets. That sucker was flying. Now I’m all freaked out there might be another. Not even sure what kind it was…didn’t have my glasses on. Hoping it wasn’t a wolf spider

High 82 during HHH low 63 during low dews now 68. It's called evaporative cooling.

How?

Tons here still

It's all about me though! Well me and my very dry yard.
