That I believe is the storm that busted up dune road in west Hampton and created a new inlet. I think there were 15 foot waves in the sound. Wild

Who else had wind? Finally getting good gusts with this new station. I do think my old one was too low with wind speed.

IMO this poll is meaningless without a timeframe. Are we talking 2-4 over the course of 30 years? 300 years? 3,000 years? 30,000 years? It matters because the impacts for each would be vastly different, including the level of danger. When it comes to climate change I like to use the analogy of an airplane's altitude. What matters isn't so much how *far* the airplane changes altitude - but how *fast* it changes altitude. Dropping 1,000 ft in two minutes generally isn't a problem. Dropping 1,000 ft in two seconds is generally a big problem. Same thing for nominal altitude. Being at 0 ft Above Ground Level (AGL) is not a problem if that's where you were a few minutes ago, but it's a big problem if you were at 1,000ft AGL a couple seconds ago. Thus why the whole "the earth has been at temperature X before" is a foolish and meaningless position w/regards to CC. The poll is also meaningless without supplying additional conditions. Is this all-else-being-equal? Presumably so, but it would be nice to state as such.

yep massive LI sound flooding here with that storm

The fundamental problem with the whole debate is the angry masses screaming at a cloud syndrome. People are angry at DST because it gets “darker earlier.” It gets darker earlier because the days are shorter. The masses are angry at the shorter days not the clock realignment. It is like being angry at a square root symbol because youre an idiot at math.

I think there's an issue regarding how "major flooding" is defined. If a road is inundated that doesn't normally flood, it's hard not to describe that as major flooding. But that doesn't necessarily match up with USGS statistical data and graphics. Although I'm not sure how minor, moderate, and major coastal flooding are defined.

It’s clouded up here after a sunnier morning

kids at bus stops or walking to schools is why it won't last if it happens...that's why it folded in 1973-74 We close schools here for a dusting of snow, we're not running busses in the dark lol

I have 3 young kids…I hope this change never happens. For all the idiots living down south or in the eastern parts of a time zone, there are a lot of us up north sending kids to school in darkness. For that reason, I believe it will never happen. It isnt even that extreme here. If you live in a place like Ohio, it will be dark until 9 am. That is ridiculous

That's why it only lasted a year the last go around. Sunrise at 8:15am in NYC in Dec/Jan and closer to 9:15am in the western ends of each time zone. Won't last if we go to it....

For any aviation nerds, or just a nerd in general, this link was on the CoCoRaHS website this morning. They made a point of saying that there were a lot of commercial breaks, but I used the Duck player embedded in the Duck Duck Go browser and had no interruptions. Some pretty cool stuff!

i rather they go back to what it was when george w was president when the clocks fell back changed before halloween so it would be dark out..i do not want dst to be permanent imagine in december when the sun would rise at 8:00 am...

Thank you!

6.14" still pouring somehow

about 2 inches of much needed rain here.

The noreaster in 92 was gnarly living on Sandy hook bay/ Shrewsbury River. I'm from a tiny beach town named Highlands. Right across the bridge from sandy hook national park. Water was 6' deep through the whole town with 70 mph winds

This will be the 15th fall on record (but 6th out of the past 10 years) that we’ve made it this far into the season without a high below 60. Top 4 is all but clinched, but it’ll be interesting to see just how long we can go.

No, it’s always the same areas. I can’t imagine a weather event which would cause flooding in less flood prone areas, other than a major major storm or hurricane. maybe wind direction? But even so, low elevation is low elevation…nothing is going to change the elevation of areas from one storm to the next. From a wind perspective this was a moderate nor’easter. From a rain perspective it was on the high end out here, with Suffolk getting 2-3+”.

Messenger's back yard (may he RIP) in Plymouth must be pushing 8" at this point That coastal front / area of convergence has been nearly stationary for >24 hours Let's repeat late January

Yeah he's about 2 miles from me. He was a smidge closer to the convergence zone yesterday, but just a touch less here. Guy in Hingham earlier had like 6.6". And it's still coming down in the form of small droplet sheet rains.

Widespread 6-8” amounts from Plymouth to Kingston to Hull to S Wey

I want more storms. Sorry Ken…

this is the question

The one Nor’easter I’ll never forget was in March of 2010. We were fairly new home owners at the time so I had to officially worry about my property for one of the first times and just remember the howling of the winds and trees down in the area. Iirc, we lost power from Saturday afternoon until some time the next day. I want to say we had some 70mph gusts that evening.

Socked in with clouds still here. Though it does seem like the sky is a bit lighter. No sun yet though.
