Catkins that hold the male pollen. Some of them are 4-5". Looks like Kev will be fighting the acorn battle in 2026 (red oak acorns take 2 years to mature). Just cloudy here, maybe get wet by 9-10 this evening.

pin oak seeds are like a mesh in the gutters

What the hell is an oak dong? I thought oaks just had leaves?

It’s unbelievable. Why can we never seem to get these storms to line up like this in the middle of the winter and instead we get them in the ass end of May? It’s friggin dumping out there right now.

Lets go ahead and add May.

Just looked at the drops hitting the top of the car it looks like something is trying to mix in

Broken Norway, baby. Right on my street.

Downright brutal out there. Worse than anything this winter.

Through 5 pm, Bridgeport, Islip, New York City-Central Park, New York City-LaGuardia Airport, and Newark are in line to set new record low maximum temperatures for May 22. JFK Airport is in line to tie its record. After an unseasonably cool start, temperatures will top out in upper 50s and lower 60s tomorrow in the New York City area. There could also be some scattered showers. A partly to mostly sunny Memorial Day weekend will then follow. The below normal temperatures could persist into early next week. However,it could turn noticeably warmer during the closing days of the month or opening of June. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was 0.0°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.1°C for the week centered around May 7. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.55°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.07°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely continue through at least mid summer. Early indications are that summer 2025 will be warmer than normal in the New York City and Philadelphia areas. The potential exists for a much warmer than normal summer (more than 1° above normal). The SOI was -8.71 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.091 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 62% probability that New York City will have a cooler than normal May (1991-2020 normal). May will likely finish with a mean temperature near 63.0° (0.2° below normal).

Drove thru a brief torrential downpour on 70 west. There’s some meat to the clouds today

Some legit downpours in these showers.

NAMS and EURO too far west yet again....we only got about .65 here

Fucking oak dongs clogged my gutters.

I game her options to warm herself up. I got the cold shoulder.

Maybe 40 now. Love a good coastal.

It is absolutely pouring and about 35+ now.

I think a little over 1k? Maybe it’s just big drops reflecting the light. 37-38 in that area now.

Ope.

Not sure how anyone could come to that conclusion since this is a top down ocean warming process. https://www2.whoi.edu/site/argo/impacts/warming-ocean/

Definitely possible on top of the pocono plateau. Elevations over 2,000’. It’s been snowing and accumulating all day on top of the southern greens in Vermont.

Yeah the wind has really picked up here this afternoon in Hendersonville.

wind train in my hood

Pouring and blowing about 30ish now. Nearing 1".
