  1. Yeah, '96 was projected to hammer the mid Atlantic and spare us the worst then the night before totals got bumped up higher and higher. Sort of like Boxing Day but more expensive.
  2. It's legit hot in the sun here on the UHI, I'm walking outside in short sleeves for lunch. Feels unnatural for late October but par for the course in our new climate.
  3. '14-'15 was my all time favorite winter so I'm picking up what you're throwing down. Endless snowpack from mid Feb to mid March with weekly 4-8 inch pack refreshers and powdery snow at that and January delivered as well. That winter was almost as rare as last winter at this latitude, you just don't get consistent snowpack winters or virtual shutouts around here.
  4. Think in terms of "It can't be worse than last winter" and you'll feel better because, historically, it's almost impossible to duplicate a winter that bad.
  5. Maybe not 3-5 but it's been pouring here for a while, been ou. in it, so at least locally it's living up to the hype. I don't think your area was ever supposed to get the heavy stuff. Either way, I prefer for this to just go away. I'm getting sick of the rainy weekends.
  6. For sure, this event is more localized. Just driving around a little earlier, my area of Beechhurst rarely has extreme flooding. Today is the only time I remember outside of Ida and Irene that this happened and I've been here for almost 20 years. Actually, there was one other event that I can't recall right now but it's rare around here.
  7. I'll say again what I said many hours ago.... This heavy rain is relentless, closest thing I've seen to Ida outside of Ida, and now the wind is picking up as well. I don't know what it's like for you guys outside of the immediate NYC metro but this event is delivering big time around here.
  8. Yeah, it surprised me because I was anticipating late tonight for start time. I had plans to watch the football game in Oceanside tonight but it might just be Ocean by tomorrow.
  9. Man, if only these storm tracks can hold this winter. Not only was last winter warm but it was boring as well.
  10. Sometimes you just have to learn to take the L man.
  11. The wind is the bigger story right now, it's really whipping out there. It actually feels nice because it's not that chilly until the rain starts then it gets nasty.
  12. Yes but that was skewed heavily by Labor Day week being near record breaking warmth. The 2nd week of September and beyond was back closer to normal where it's been highs in the 70s for the most part. We're also in a climate now where "old normal" temps feel relatively cool because it's been so hot, especially due to the humidity, in recent years.
  13. I live not far from LaGuardia which is considered one of the hot spots for morning lows and there have been many cool mornings, not just a few cool days. August had many beautiful, low humidity days. It was the Labor Day week stretch with the real hot days and that's been it for the most part for REAL summer weather in the last 4-5 weeks. Pretty close to normal temps but with much lower humidity than we've been accustomed to in recent years.
  14. It wasn't even an endless summer anyway in terms of heat/above normal temps. Outside of a hot stretch during Labor Day week, the last month has been quite comfortable and actually fall-like in the morning a lot of days. One of the best late summer stretches in years at least for those of us who prefer not to have swamp ass.
  15. City is a nightmare today. The combination of the U.N. Assembly, a whole bunch of protestors and a chilly rain is nightmare fuel.
  16. What is with the yellow jackets this year especially late this summer? I got swarmed with them today.
  17. Thunder and pouring here. Unless this lets up in about an hour, no way am I travelling.
  18. Supposed to head out to Oceanside for an NFL Week 1 party at a friends house but not so sure now. Rain picking up here.
  19. I generally just browse but I just wanted to say that... you sir, are a treasure to this forum and that your insight is greatly appreciated at least from this guy.
  20. This is boiling eggs on sidewalk weather. I'm all for summer weather but not for sauna weather.
