All Activity

but the question is will it be a really hot summer-- or a fake warmer summer with only high mins? Hot summer to me is 30 or more 90 degree days.

This is exactly why we need to warm up our oceans, this damn thing seems to happen every year now.

wow a big change from April 2002! But we went on to have a nice hot and dry summer.... Was the lowest it got at either JFK or NYC 42 that month?

Thanks guys, maybe it was iPhone. I tried manually changing the web address yesterday and this site changed it back to X. Weird. It works now.

The link needs to say twitter.com between the // and / to auto populate. You change that and it will embed.

IPhone eh

Sounds like a blood clot did nerve damage. We used electrical stimulation along the back and inside the legs. It was a chihuahua so I used an old electric toothbrush but they sell similar for big dogs. Or you can use your vibrating Dildo. Lol . Best of luck Paulie.

Pool opened 57 degrees. Probably 67 by Thursday. We bloom

The 00z models pretty much get things going in mid-Iowa

Does the Niña configuration make more of a difference in the WPO response than strength of the event? I.E. East-based vs Modoki?

18z GFS for the weekend.... Let's just hope it's wrong.

Today's highs New Brnswck: 78 TTN: 78 TEB: 76 EWR: 75 NYC: 74 LGA: 71 ISP: 69 JFK: 68 BLM: 67

Yeah, based on all the solutions I've seen so far, southeastern Iowa is going to only get wave three, whereas northeastern and southwestern Iowa are scheduled to get hit by waves 1 and 2. If that happens and it's a linear threat, that's all well and good, but what happens if a cell develops ahead of that line? That's going to be interesting to watch. We'll need to see more info on this, but I think if there's going to be a strong tornado, based on the models I've seen, areas south of the QCA out to Galesburg and back into the Mt. Pleasant are going to be under the gun. If a cell develops there ahead of that line, I'd be concerned.

That’s exactly how you’d want to be at that age. Once activity stops, the body ages quickly.

Light rail. Brings back memories. I lived right across from what had been designated a boundary of the fairly new Liberty State Park in Jersey City. State used eminent domain to force people out across the street on our block. It was empty for awhile over there and then lo and behold, they put in the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail. This is what I saw: The Putt Putt. Serving hundreds of thousands of people yet I was astonished to see it for first time and never stopped being amazed. Just a toy Putt Putt of two cars. Now it has three cars, I think, big deal. Wikipedia says it carries about 50,000 passengers a day. 24 stations. It did come in very handy at times for me but I mostly stuck with PATH train that went into Manhattan. I am all for public transportation but so many of the modern day additions are disasters and jokes more than anything. Why is that? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson–Bergen_Light_Rail So much for the Park. After Light Rail, the tan building went in and so did several other even taller buildings across the street. Park is still there but they definitely sold off land to developers just because they felt like it.

Yeah it’s off now and windows are open. It was borderline but nice to cool it off when home from the after-work hike and dog walk. I’d have all three sliders wide open but the wife is worried about bears following their nose to food sources. Given what the they do around here to get to good smells, a screened door wouldn’t even be an inconvenience to walk into the kitchen. Regarding the bolded, I’d recommend the mini-splits to anyone. Even if you just want to alter the environment of the living space and bedroom, but leave other parts of the home or spare bedrooms out… it is so easy, quiet, convenient to cool or heat a space these days. Also the actual usage costs are very little. But there’s a large initial investment. Thats why I have no issue using it for cooling or heating even in short bursts. You don’t spend $8K to avoid using it. Pay for the installation and equipment? … might as well use it at every opportunity. If it’s hotter than you’d like, you cool. Cold? Then heat it up fast. It’s 2024, there are options so you don’t need window units or more intrusive, time consuming and loud units. Just remote controlled climate. A good alternative to central cooling.

Congratulations and best wishes for your family!

The Thunder Bay volcano means business

it was always going to be this way.

5 of the 16 LIV players (31%) MC per this: https://golfweek.usatoday.com/lists/2024-pga-championship-how-all-16-liv-golf-players-fared-valhalla/ The 31% is actually pretty good considering that 50% of all 156 players MC or WD.

That severe watch was such a bust. I think the dewpoints mixed out south of I-96. The line held together better north of the front. The steep mid-level lapse rates and higher deepoints are way west.

No AC here yet. Open windows and ceiling fans are fine. I can’t install yet anyway since we are having new siding installed and the last of our old windows replaced. Hopefully next year’s project is the mini splits.

A friend of mine opened a place in Sturbridge, all imported Italian foods, he is from RI and every Saturday he has that pizza for a buck a piece, I haven't been there on Saturday, but I've tried his Italian pastas and other things from Providence and it's great.

Can’t recall the last time I’ve seen a special weather statement for a gust front.

He still grades the roads in southern Quebec and did his own addition a couple years ago on his house.. the guy is wild lol
