we're in a "glad i'm not on long island" pattern for the next few days

Beautiful morning. 70 and sunny. I don’t get this post

other than 09-10 type winters, it's a graveyard for snow down there-but I sure would prefer their spring to ours...it's 5/18 and it's finally warming up....

Nights are still cool. As soon as sun went down today it’s in the 50s. Good thing I have a nice fire roaring in the pit 

73. Was at the PGA yesterday, incredible day

Was yesterday not as nice on the island was it was in the interior, or is this part of the heat shtick? Genuine question.

Was beautiful yesterday and 68. 

44 and rain now.

What do you think the odds are that we do have summer like weather for next weeks golf tournament at Bethpage?  We haven’t had much nice weather so far 

Headed there on Thursday. Hoping for a nice day.

How can people hate this weather ?

Cool temps are way better and more comfortable than hot temps.

It’s the rain, not the cool. We know, you say it everyday, you rather stay inside on the couch and watch cartoons than be outside. Most humans like to be outside. 

Make it end.

Last 10 days of the month look AN and dry, however.

Lol

At least the Mets are back to typical May form

I really would't have a problem with the rain today if the temp was 75 instead of low to mid 50's. I would rather have temps in the 80's w/afternoon and evening thunderstorms instead of this cool and raw weather.

It’s 70 with sun in Montreal. 52 and rain here

Planted grass out front last Saturday... weeds popping but no sign of grass... how long does it usual take to start seeing anything?

New grass grows slowly in the spring because the ground is still cool. You’ll see some grass in a week, but seeding in spring is often a waste because the summer heat will kill the new grass. You are better off planting in the late summer or early fall.

A mistake I sometimes see with people putting down grass seed is that they just sprinkle it on top or lightly rake it in.  A thin coating of top soil over the grass seed and keeping it moist without letting it dry out goes a long way.  Soil temperature really helps too. 

I find that raking the seeds in and covering with a 1/4” of Peat moss does the trick. Keeps it moist and grass explodes, but again, better in late summer when it starts to cool. Need about a month or so before first frost for grass to get thick.

Anyone with kids violently disagrees. It better get warm soon. 

“Daddy, can we do something fun today?” For the 50th time gets old. Especially after an entire winter. Pouring rain all day here on the island.

Really impressive SST departure gradient where the frontal boundary has gotten stuck. 

 

Wow. That temp gradient will only reinforce this pattern. Unreal.

I wonder why LGA’s temp departure is radically different than the rest of the NYC bunch.

NE winds off the cold sound 

Pretty good storm. 4 or 5 very close strikes and torrential rains.

Getting rocked here
