All Activity

There have been several In Jul 2016 LGA had 13 of 15 days above 90 with a streak of 9 straight with 5 straight highs of 94 coupled with a 98, 99. There has been that onshore component the last 4/5 years limiting head east of the Hudson if the (we) is NYC/LI.

If there is again a very hot summer like the summers of 1983, 1993, 1953, and 1966 I believe it will occur when we are in a drier less active phase which might be one of the next two summers not this one. This summer all indications point to frequent cold fronts and low pressure systems whether they be tropical or not moving across the country from west to east or or out of the Gulf Of Mexico. This summer we can look forward to lots of onshore breezes, marine layers, and mid-upper 80s. Parts of Canada could be hotter than NYC. WX/PT

Yes. I can't fault a doctor making an honest income, but anything related to the medical field has an inflated price. Syringes, masks, any piece of plastic...

Probably better earlier. Apparently it peaked this morning so the West Coast got a show. Who knows what'll be left. Enough that it will likely screw us up.

The smoke is moving in this evening to obscure sky viewing lol

We were 27° in May 2020 with a record 5 days in a row of snowflakes. That same 1953 heatwave (Aug-Sept) is Detroits longest on record as well. The most deadly was July 1936. Summer 1934 and 1955 were unbearable. I could go on lol.

Smoke coming north now cue Smoke from a Distant Fire - Sanford-Townsend Band

The sky would be lighting up with the northern lights like last October right now but alas it's daytime no way of knowing we get these parameters at night.

60, with a chilly breeze. Garbage for June 1

This is not nice for June 1, sorry. It’s windy and barely touching 60

I was at the wharf in falmouth on the water for a surprise engagement party and the wind was crazy

Because New England sucks

GSO was super wet in May, with over 7.53“ of rain. It was only .6” below normal in temperature, despite many of us using the fireplace or furnace as late as this morning. The highest temperature was 85, the lowest 47.

It is ongoing now at G4 but the Bz is north. We will see how much it holds through tonight and if that number shifts.

Looks like the peak for us is 11 pm to 2 am based on this table We're UT-4 (because of DST).

The new ones have failsafes that work no matter what the circumstances are. No human intervention needed. Esp. The micro plants that Amazon and Google are using soon.

Once we have fully safe nuclear power plants with safeguards in place to prevent a meltdown even during a natural disasters will solve a lot of our problems.

Not sure if the ones that ran the place shut it down? Government pressure shut it down, I think? Nobody wants a nuclear power plant in their backyard. Some say it is not wise to have such plants near extremely densely populated areas. That is a point to consider. Remember, nuclear power plants are run by people. All you have to do is drive, or just interact with people on a daily basis and you realize that the unthinkable can happen. In general, I think we are getting sloppier. In theory, nuclear energy sounds great, but between regulations and government intervention, the price to produce electricity tends to be higher. Plus the endpoint storage has still not been settled. In my naive mind, I would think that each nuclear facility would be a target, just for the nuclear waste alone. Yucca Mountain sounded like a good idea, but even the 7 people who live in Nevada do not want the national nuclear waste depository there. To me, there is no negative side to storing it there. Naysayers will point to fault lines and earthquakes, but wouldn't the waste still be contained?

Nothing is locked in for winter on June 1st

Yes I see that... I'll recheck their numbers at 6PM when the new issuance arrives. AND... hoping middle deck WAA clouds ahead of a weak boundary does not complicate things after 9PM. Better chance of clear skies south and west of us.

not in France. Its the cheapest energy source in Europe by a wide margin. The operation and cost of fuel per kilowatt hour is cheap even compared to many fossil fuels. Its the regulation that is costly. This is changing in many states however. As far as waste, France uses about 20% of its nuclear waste to produce more electricity! They lead the world and show us how it's done. As an approved wingnut, don’t get me started. Lol. We gave up on science decades ago. Technical schools have been disappearing since the 70s. College has become more about social status than anything. Marketing and money. Oberlin isn’t teaching anyone how to split the atom safely. Sure is hard to get into though! What does that 300k get you? You can say you went to Oberlin! And the rest of us get high electric bills. Thanks Oberlin!

sounds like our healthcare issues with PBMs being the middlemen that are responsible for the increased costs.

Frosty start here this morning at 35°. Coldest I remember for the start of met summer. Also see the high temps backed down several degrees for this week. One 80° day looks likely Tuesday now. Should stay pretty comfortable for the first week of June.
