omg how was there a 6 degree difference with NYC and 7 degree difference with LGA ??? a clear night no winds, great radiational cooling?

so JFK's low in 2018 was below freezing but NYC was not? April 11th below freezing date means it was the latest since 2014's April 16th date. JFK: 31 (2018)

As an aside, Batman was based on pre 1940s architecture I feel like urban architects should read those comics and design those buildings that way (yes, Gotham was meant to be Gothic lol.)

what if the W Pac doesn't cool down but instead the E Pac starts to heat up at a more rapid rate, would that offset what's going on in the W Pac?

in our bigger storms JFK gets more snow too

The Poconos too Don? Maybe a few inches down to I-80?

October - mid November was really nice last year, we hit 80+ twice in November!

Omg I hate how they were designed and I heard more are on the way-- and even in Brooklyn?? What happened to the kind of architecture we used to have, the NYC skyline used to be a source of pride.

Didn't we have this hybrid combo happen in the early 70s too?

I forgot to add this to my other post-- how do we reconcile this pattern with the horrible flooding and entire towns almost being wiped out in the south and lower midwest with all the historic flooding there. One mayor said that the waters came within 1 foot of wiping out her entire town and causing a mass casualty event (the waters came within 1 foot of topping the dam.)

Yes I love those kinds of days too, just not multiple days of rain every week. I think ideally we would have 1 inch of rain every week that only fell on one day each week and the other 6 days would be sunny with low humidity. I like low rainfall in the summer to keep humidity low and keep the bug population low. I noticed when it rains a lot in the summer our mosquito numbers explode and the dew points are much higher.

Yes I fully agree we need more rain in spring, but I really hope once we get to summer, our monthly rainfall goes down to 2-3 inches per month. I'm looking forward to some nice downslope dry heat this summer. More rain often makes it more uncomfortable by raising the humidity and dew points. It also makes the bug and especially mosquito population explode. I've noted far few bugs and especially no mosquitoes when we have dry heat. Right now the rain is more needed, but super annoying to have it rain every weekend for multiple days. 1 inch of rain per week that only happened one day per week would be much nicer.

I really don't like that building 432 lol. It should be called 666 ;-) We never should have built those things they ruined the NYC skyline. How do those supertall buildings hold up when we have an earthquake (like we had last April) or a hurricane, I wonder?

We're already in a heavier than normal rainfall regime unfortunately. A light drought/D1 doesn't really matter around here. I don't see it as a concern, we get plenty of rain as it is. Our area does not need more than 40 inches of rain here. The West needs rain MUCH more than we do. If the argument is about fires, we really need to get rid of the excess greenery.

Let's see how long this lasts. I was supposed to go there Saturday morning.

I wonder if it's higher than that horrendous rectangular eyesore they built in Manhattan that looks like a giant middle finger? What is that monstrosity called-- something Park Avenue I think?

dry heat does not produce *swamp ass*

Yes spring is a completely useless season. I loved the 80s and 90s because we usually went straight from winter to summer.

I have dim memories of this, low 40s and sleet? That entire weekend was horrendous! a T of frozen at LGA I think?

lol how much to own it or rent it??

Don where is all this cold coming from with such a positive AO and most of the country being so warm?

Updated to 6 gone, the pilot and 5 members of the same family (both parents and three children). Awful Awful news.

I've always wanted to see it, how far is that hill from where you live?

Yes it was updated to 6 perished, the 6th one was the pilot. 5 are all from one family, both parents and 3 children :-'(

Big helicopter crash in the Hudson, 6 fatalities reported!
