    We had the mother of all inversions last night! The low at Mount Pocono was 47 while it was 37 at Scranton. It got down to 44 here. All the local forecasters said the higher winds kept the temperature higher in the mountains.  It was 34 at Schnecksville which is where my nursery is located, south and west of here. The high was 66 here the perfect cloudless blue sky day, I spent the entire afternoon hanging up paintings.

     

     

    I have to find this beauty.

     

    I remember that as the best October we have ever had. 0 rainfall! Like a perfect game lol.

     

     

     

    The perfect weather.

     

    How do you handle the cold nights? Your pipes will freeze!

     

    This is the perfect weather no one should have any complaints about this idyllic pattern.

     

    Wow it's very beautiful!

     

    Thanks please let me know Don I'm interested in acquiring one of these for my rose garden!

     

    This is the absolute perfect weather Tony

     

    Did that October 1996 storm affect us? I dont remember it.

    And how much did we get in the 1940 snowfall?

     

    LGA has a very artificial microclimate I trust their numbers even less than NYCs. 

     

    I don't know I guess I just dont see the point of having a vegetable garden. They're not pretty to look at and they don't last that long you have to replant them every year. I used to do that years ago but no longer. They attract too many unseemly insects. The last year I had a vegetable garden was 2013. I graduated to planting ornamental trees and bushes that will exist long after I'm gone. They're also great for the environment and attract many birds and butterflies and even rabbits and deer. A male deer came here right to my windows today as I was hanging up paintings of...... what else, deer lol. He was really curious and stared right at me and even stopped chewing on the plants I have near one of my ponds to look lol. This summer I planted bee balm which is a hummingbird magnet. My dear dad planted mint here more than  30 years ago that's still alive.  There's Japanese Maples on this property that our family planted back in the early 90s. 

    But if you are going to plant a vegetable garden you can't complain about it not raining. My view on that is when you plant something it's your responsibility to water it, not Mother Nature's.  Besides I happen to love watering because the water goes exactly where I want it to not places where I don't want it. And rainfall brings too many insects specifically mosquitoes which I really despise!

     

     

    im so proud of you

    What’s your elevation? If your up on the moraine at 200’ or something it makes sense. You’re cold on CAA but do not radiate well. I was up at whiteface in the Adirondacks a couple winters ago and it was -30 in the valley but -10 at the base of the mountain 1,000’ higher.

    Exactly 200 on top of the hill

    Why is everyone bragging about no heat?

    I dont get it.

    41F here this morning. Heat was on…and has been on at least 5 times already. 

    The weekend of 26/27, it was on several times during the day.

    Who wants to be cold and damp in their house? Bizzaro

    No clue. I have a wife and kids and I want them to be comfortable. Maybe it makes people feel tough?

    Being in southwest Suffolk I can tell you how serious Isaias was here. We had no power for about 8 days. Trees down everywhere. It was worse than Sandy for us personally 

    The same by me in Commack. Lots a bunch of trees. Sandy was much worse. But Isaias was very destructive
