One thing I noticed when it's extremely hot and dry, the mosquitos hide in the shade and come out much later in the day just before the sun sets. Or they come out when you're watering your plants lol.

Marshes are awful, it's why we call them swamps. I'm hoping one of these days they'll chop down the tall grass and get rid of this excess water. There are tsetse flies in there (they cause sleeping sickness). 42 inches sounds right around what I'd expect for rainfall. I always thought a more tropical climate begins with around 50 inches of rain, like what the Gulf Coast receives.

Natural Gas Futures Surging as Weather Models Shift Dramatically Colder Daily Gas Price Index Markets Report Natural Gas Prices Having trended substantially colder over the weekend, weather forecasts were in the driver’s seat Monday morning as natural gas futures mounted substantial early gains. ———— This is referring to colder 2 week forecasts, which is typically what NG reacts mainly to. They don’t normally react in a substantial way to updated winter forecasts.

Up to .86”. We might be able to squeeze out an inch.

By "wireless" we mean the connection between the outside unit and the inside console. The console is still powered by AC with battery backup.

JFK averaged 41.79” from 1970 to 2002. Same old story of the thunderstorms weakening before reaching the South Shore. Didn’t notice much difference in the insects growing up back in Long Beach away from the marshes between the wetter and drier summers. But the marsh areas always had a very high number of mosquitos.

1.3 will Do it.

wow almost everyone averages less than the city lol, even Newark, LGA and White Plains. the average must have been even lower during the 80s when I grew up, do you know the 51-80 and 61-90 averages? 45 inches sounds much more normal to me and probably around 42 inches when I was growing up.

an advantage of wired stations is that they update much more frequently. and you can power them with an electrical outlet and not have to use batteries.

JFK averages less than NYC. As the best frontal convergence is usually to the west. The heaviest amounts from 2003 to 2024 were at NYC and New Brunswick. The greatest difference between JFK and NYC is during the warm season with the sea breeze fronts to the west of JFK. 2003 to 2024 annual average rainfall NYC….52.71” NBW….51.96” EWR….48.86” LGA…..48.04” HPN….46.81” ISP…….46.70” JFK……45.09” May to October NYC…28.79” JFK….23.70” November to April NYC…..23.98” JFK……21.38”

we have that nasty exotic mosquito disease now too. I didn't see all these mosquitos in June and July when we were baking, they seem to come out of nowhere now. I wonder what got them going in October and not before this? Or maybe I didn't notice them when it was very hot and they were hiding in the shade lol

I had a weather wizard III. About a year or two ago I actually bought another weather wizard III on eBay just to get the anemometer. It works with the vantage pro2. I saved about $100

got down to freezing at the house this morning - ending the growing season. The airport and most other non low lying areas escaped to fight another few days

1.59” here in E CT after the 1.79” last weekend from the NorEaster. No Stein here

End looks near. Really dumped after lunch time. 1.70"

This year has been absolutely horrible for small biting/stinging winged critters.

We have already had someone lighting fires along 540 in Raleigh.

Nice burst of heavy rain and wind when that back edge came through. Up to 1.24”

Once stations got wireless I got much more interested in getting my own station, plus where I was in life at the time. I do remember putting my old Weather Monitor II on two different roofs in the late 90's and early 00's, not the best move to have the entire station up there but live and learn. Its much easier all around now. I remember you giving me pointers on how to connect to my computer and then that got even easier with the Davis WeatherLink Live.

1. 12Z UKMET (goes to 168) maps once again have the low stay in the S Car and go west into Nicaragua; low is a bit stronger with it down to 1003 at strongest, which should easily be strong enough to be a TD although the textual output doesn’t show that. Will UK for 98L be a miserable fail, the big winner, or in between? Stay tuned! 2. 12Z JMA (goes to 192): has a cat 1 hurricane headed due west to just offshore the Nicaragua/Honduras border

If that pans out on the Euro, I'll donate to the board. Euro long range QPF bias is real.

You can't really compare the two because we are on the coast and get a bunch of systems they miss out on. So I have no idea.

Today here I’m experiencing the first widespread dewpoints below 50 of the season. They’re actually way down near 40. It’s a beautiful sunny day. I’m looking forward to my evening walk.

Yes me also. Had Davis equipment back in the 90's before the vantage pro came out. Also had a heathkit thermometer which I built with my dad probably 45 years ago.
