30, first freeze.
If we manage to get any acclumation in the city how unusual would it be to have a first freeze and first measurable snowfall basically at the same time
Had a low of 34 here. Its funny now NYC is usually one of the last places to have a freeze. Places like Huntsville, AL, Charlotte, Raleigh, DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Atlantic City have all had there 1st freeze.
Thought they might issue a freeze warning for NYC but guess we will be a touch too mild. I actually still have a few peppers outside still holding on. Freeze warning for southern Westchester, Hudson, eastern Essex, NJ.
Has Nassau County technically had a freeze yet?
Yeah, in the 5 boros it seems almost completely devoid of color then it's like a switch flipped overnight to peak color. Early Nov is normal peak for NYC but to me it was much less gradual than usual. It went from next to nothing to amazing colors in a few days.
Except for areas within range of coastal flooding, seem like a run of the mill dreary day to me. From what I saw even during very the early am the rain wasn't really heavy for any extended period of time.
Low 42 this am. Have a few peppers planted, still producing albeit it a little smaller. Wonder how long they will hold on.
I used to drive well in westchester regularly, now I work in the City, I feel so lost I dont get to see any frost/freeze lol. I wonder if the leaves are even changing color outside the city. It pretty much green and lush here. I used to see some nice color along the Sprain to Taconic about this time of Oct.
Got down to 41 this morn. Refreshing but I'm still not adjusted to chilly weather and dry air especially. Feels like I've gone from summer to Thanksgiving in the blink of an eye.
Looks like intense storms just to my north along the Bronx Westchester border. Here it's light rain, breezy with lightning and thunder. Temp down to 80 dew 73
I think the sun gets lower behind the trees and in a general sense skyscrapers cast large shadows blocking some sun from reaching the ground. Esp when comparing to wide open expanse of an airport getting every available min of direct sun.
Damn it is disgusting out just walked several blocks. This ranks with some of the hottest nights ever. Now 90/73, but if you held a thermometer out on an avg city sidewalk I think you'd get something even warmer. This stuff plus UHI is very taxing on the body.
Nearby LGA was 98 and those courts absorb heat well, you can add at least a few degrees if not more.

I dont think most offical reporting stations meet the criteria. I suspect unoffical measurement in a backyard or something similar maxmize the dew point potential in a way a barren mostly concrete airport does not. Central Park could but they dont have the heat to match the humidity.
93 dew 76 calm wind. Stifling outside in search of a pool. Its quite hazy, more so than the usual on a hot humid day. Looks like a picture of LA in the 80s
