All Activity

More accurate would have been, “Welcome to Toronto where our hockey team can never make it past the second round”

I hope they did a field sorority and drug test on the pilot

I suspect that he intended it. After all, he corrected himself elsewhere in the thread he started, but ignored the multiple corrections concerning the solar state. If he corrected himself on one issue, there's no plausible reason he would not do so for another error, unless he intended his statement to be what it was.

Current radar looks pretty unimpressive right now. I wonder when, or if, anything good starts to fire up.

Still good size waves at the Maine beaches, people are allowed to go in ankle deep, everyone i saw were waist deep.

Excellent day to hit the mackerel at Goat Island in PSM. A little breezy but comfortable.

The Euro ensemble, which for Invest 99L had gotten significantly more active 24 hours ago and then on the 0Z significantly less active than yesterday’s 12Z run, was very quiet on today’s 12Z with virtually nothing. Check out the difference between 12Z yesterday and 12Z today: 12Z yesterday at 216: somewhat active 12Z today at 192: nothing!

Amazing beers. I was floored when I was there several years ago by the steady flow of people going in with hand carts and leaving with them filled.

The Washington Post has an article showing how summers have lengthened in the United States. In part, the article states: In recent decades, sweat-inducing temperatures have been arriving earlier and ending later in the year. An analysis of U.S. weather data shared with The Washington Post shows which places are experiencing notably longer summer seasons than they were three decades ago. Temperatures are spiking to levels typically seen in June earlier than expected and lingering longer at the end of the season. The analysis, conducted by climatologist Brian Brettschneider, examined the hottest 90 days of the year from 1965 to 1994 and compared their frequency over 1995 to 2024. He found that the temperatures that used to kick off the hottest three months of the year are expanding beyond the calendar definition of summer. For illustrative purposes, I ran the numbers for Phoenix, which has seen a rapid increase in extreme heat in recent years. There, September 1-15 is now as hot as August 16-31 once was. One has not yet seen such a dramatic shift in the northern U.S. e.g., September 1-15 is nearing the August 16-31 levels in Central Park during the first two decades of the 20th century. In short, warming has occurred, just not as dramatic as that seen in the southern half of the United States, including but not limited to such cities as Phoenix.

Stopped at one of the epic east breweries yesterday on the way to foxborough for Miranda lambert and Morgan wallen. Top notch.

Not worth having a pool open at this point

I think you have to be ready for it still to go brown under similar conditions in the upcoming years. It may be heat tolerant to 100F which means less chance of it actually dying,not necessarily staying green without irrigation. It will still go dormant. I think they are marketing this for areas in the south of here where 95-100 happens every summer for long periods of time, and where they actually will have die off because of high temps/humidity. Like you mentioned, its getting warmer here, so i think the choice makes sense, just rain or supplemental irrigation will still be needed.

So should everyone close pools? No more swims?

Watering is easier in late season plantings than early season. The lower sun angle does a less drying out and keeps soil temps more conducive than late May and def into early June. That being said, you do need the discipline to water daily in drought conditions like we’re experiencing. Same discipline but better results is my take.

I happen to think it wasn’t an innocent mistake based on this person from the UK’s past winter forecasts….which always come to the same conclusion about how winter will turn out. I’m pretty sure there were ulterior motives (likes, etc. from his followers) for saying we are at a solar minimum because said person knows darn well that a solar minimum and low geomag = high latitude blocking

Another beautiful day. sadly, a swimmer drowned off of fire island yesterday. Rip currents were brutal

Need one more for our fantasy team...anybody here play?

Maybe, just maybe....today's the day for Tamaqua.

Stein makes it very hard . Last year was watering daily into Nov. Key is it has to stay moist . If folks aren’t committed to watering .. do not overseed

Kids will need a light jacket in the mornings midweek.

I overseed every year on Labor Day weekend, it is important to get good seed growth before the first frost

Ughhh back home, even though it's 50 miles it feels like a whole nother country lol 78, partly cloudy and a stiff breeze.

Looks like top 5 cool mornings on tap tomorrow, and Tues. Frost adv issued. Possible with low max temps, as well, today, and tomorrow.

The first snow? In Feb?
