  1. I don't know - if you look at Don's futility chart six of those years are in the last 25 years. Think its pretty likely we see awful winters like this again, along with some high snowfall years mixed in as well. The endangered species is probably a wall to wall cold winter.
  2. Light snow in Wading River, 33F with a quick coating on the ground. Almost like the old days.
  3. Nice little light snow shower on north shore of LI. Colder surfaces already coated. Might go unnoticed in a typical year but have face pressed against the window now.
  4. Still around 50 days of more favorable climo left, still think a shutout is the least likely outcome. At least I hope so.
  5. Those 80’s winters at least had plenty of cold intervals. The snow futility this year may feel the same as those but the fact that we continue to warm I think dampens hopes for future big winters, at least at the coast. Not saying we’re done, but obviously there’s got to be a breaking point.
  6. Would be much easier to appreciate the positives if these warm episodes didn't feel connected to an alarming problem.
  7. Personal inconvenience may be the only thing that gets some people to care about this.
  8. Many people would say the same about our area. That area has benefitted from alot of investment over the last decade. I don’t think someone used to a suburban lifestyle down here would feel out of place in some of those suburbs.
  9. Perfect holiday script unfolding in Buffalo -- two plus days of heavy snow on 23rd and 24th followed by a break on Christmas day with temps in the 20's.
  10. Good chance we'll see a cold/snowy 12/20 - 12/25 at some point too despite it feeling like forces are aligned against that.
  11. Not to defend big oil, but I think Three Mile Island killed Shoreham.
  12. Everything still under warranty? Unfortunately you're probably going to have to ride them to get it fixed. Somethings malfunctioning for sure ---for comparison i have 29 panels and generating about 50kWh on max August days.
  13. Problems with the panels themselves?
  14. Will generate about 37% more power from our rooftop solar panels this August over last. July was up 30% YOY. I'm never a fan of summer weather but all the sunshine has some practical benefits. Still .. this is banter right? Bring on winter.
  15. Yeah solid thunderstorm in Wading River now, plenty of thunder and lightning.
  16. Ice pellets mixed with the rain in Wading River, 43F
  17. Funny how different these same temps feel in September as we trend down instead of up. Six months to go..
  18. Temp down 8 degrees in last 30 mins in Wading River from 46 to 38. Wont do much out here but nice to see the cold working in.
  19. What about December and February both being AN?
  20. Too early to rate the season. Going back 50 years at BNL there were eight years prior to this one with 20 or more inches in January - all eight of those ended with 50"+ (most were 60"+). Hopefully that is an indicator we've got more to come...
  21. Yeah 3 out of last 12 winters out here on eastern LI. Certainly not that far fetched.
