All Activity

..until you realize you are on some unknown and uncharted island...

Of course not at all Charlie. The data is clearly materially and statistically close enough to all other available county data to validate the raw data as is. Any well after the fact adjustments and alterations are not fact or evidenced based.

there was a proposal for one from NYC to BOS but space is an issue and the existing line has too many turns/curves

Holy halo around the sun.

I wouldn't count on it. He must have gone to the Wolfie school of meteorology.

78.1/45

That’s a good point, I think. Maybe to add to that, I’m not sure what farmers in Central Illinois are doing but there have been about four springtime “dust storms” over the last decade due to wind picking dirt while farmers are out in the field. And they’ve caused major problems for drivers on the interstates.

I made the huge mistake of thinking that Nino 2 years ago was actually going to behave like an El Niño. Boy was that thought wrong…

It's interesting that you make this point; because, I've shown over and over again that the Chester county data is sufficient to show bias in the local data. For instance in the case of the two big cooling moves: 1) After its move in 1948, Coatesville cooled by roughly 2F relative to Phoenixville and West Chester, and 2) after its move in 1970, West Chester cooled by roughly 2F relative to Coatesville and Phoenixville. The timing and nature of the moves fully support the in-county data. Data from outside the county isn't needed; but, does fully support the bias determination. There is a 100% ironclad case for bias in the raw Chesco data. You are helping to make bdgwx's point about confirmation bias.

Done I have thrown out all data that I can prove is wrong!! thanks!!

Nice, steady rain here. Good for the garden.

yeah with all the traffic-the most I'm willing to drive is 4-5 hrs and even that is exhausting in traffic.

I'm not so sure I want people driving those trains lol....

Where were you headed to?

Yeah I am not sure why that is like that. Unless it is total since the station has been active, that is the only way it makes sense. Edited to add I just looked into the manual. Increments of Rain Definitions Rain rate or hourly rain; Rain event; Daily rain; Weekly rain; Monthly rain; Total rain Total rain is defined as the running total since station was powered up. So looks like at the start of every year you need to to reset the total rain amount to get a yearly reading. So will have to wait to do that. I never knew it was there to be honest.

186 inches for the year? That has to be wrong.

0.7” out if this batch and 5.5 fir the month and a raw snd chilly 54F

What is up with these Canadian wildfires every May? I understand a couple of years ago when Canada had that record or near record warm May. That would obviously cause the snow to melt and everything to dry up but not greened up yet. This year, the majority of Canada has had below normal temperatures this month. It seems all it takes anymore is a few “warm” days and you have spontaneous combustion of the forests. Are warmer and shorter winters causing more vegetation that then goes dormant for the winter allowing more fuel for the fires?

Still coming down at a good clip up to 1.38 for the event total so far

Sunday will be MUCH better and mostly sunny. Is your booth both days?

0.81" of rain so far at home. What an incredibly soggy month it's been.

Anyone have a good sense of the weather in the Adirondacks this weekend? I'm supposed to have a booth at a mtb festival but the idea of a 58° rainy, windy day hanging out in a wet field 10 miles out of Saranac Lake doesn't sound like much fun.

SW wind wouldn't get this area to 90 before July, it needs to be a due west or northwest wind. JFK very rarely has gotten to 90 before June 20th even on a westerly wind. Upper 80s, yes, but 90 is usually closer to the summer solstice unless it's a really hot summer (like 2010), which has also been dry in the spring.

Its happened before with the down sloping or even a SW wind with the right airmass in place which would be 850MB >16-17C. The park is a whole another story but regardless, the flow looks to be with an easterly component and with that the heat would be focused inland.

Hope you’re feeling better.
