this reminds me of the summer when JFK gets its hottest weather right after a front passes through
-
Okay so will this be the last 32 degree low until next fall?
-
Oh that would have been awesome! I didn't even know there was such a thing. I made it to the National Spelling Bee in 8th grade but lost on a word I had never heard of, *otioseness*. I didn't even have the full list of words, just the first half (A-M). Most were easy to spell phonetically because they were medical words (my mom was a radiation oncologist and I read her books lol.) Otioseness can't be spelled phonetically =\

those tropical ones, OMG I hope those don't come inside, I've seen them on my trips, but they were always outside and look like snakes. I only see maybe one every 2-3 years but when I do, it's usually at night and don't get much sleep that night.
-
Where do they come from? I don't think we have any caves around here. I had a cricket in my house a few years ago, what's the difference between a regular cricket and a cave cricket?
-
omg this is horrible. I noticed these are solitary bees or they exist in pairs. They first come to drink water from my gutters and somehow make it inside. They're not attracted to any particular flower that I need to get rid of, are they?
-
I know lol, also in the Poconos we had a ton of power outages. Just speaking about the city and long island in the sense of an 8-16 forecast that busted down to 1-2 inches.
-
and really wet snow right-- lots of trees down!!
-
wow the 1933-34 winter was still going strong this late.... Tony, what's the coldest temperature we've ever had after the equinox, was this it?
-
Yes very cold plus wind chill. I love the clear skies, though. The spring birds don't care about the cold, I saw a huge flock of parrots and got some nice images this morning.
-
The only thing even remotely wintry are the cold temperatures this morning and this wind. On a more positive note, a huge flock of parrots came and sunned themselves on my roof and I got some nice images. There is some kind of enmity between parrots and starlings, when one flock comes the other one immediately leaves lol. Nature is way more interesting than our weather right now, although I love the clear blue skies -- regardless of temperatures.
-
That's not how it works though, Ant. Usually / most of the time when we see a snowstorm in April, the winter itself has been snowy. Like 1996, 2003, 2018.
-
April 1997 was so overrated, April 1996 was MUCH better. I still don't see how Boston got 24 inches of snow, Logan is right on the water.
-
is that a backdoor front? it looks like an arctic front that gets hung up north of here.
-
Some horrible person made this youtube video (I saw it years ago and not about to look for it now) in which he put a mouse and a giant centipede in a jar together and the little mouse looked so scared, as if his eyes were about to pop out of his head. I would have locked that guy in a room with about 1000 of those nasty creatures.
-
They're not even insects and they're much older than dinosaurs. The big asteroid couldn't even take them out lol. Ours are bad, but if you lived in South America or South Asia, OMG, they're the size of snakes there and really vicious. They eat rats and when they sting you it feels like your blood is boiling (literally!)
-
You're crazy and so is this model lol. Maybe it's predicting the snowfall for the entirety of next winter?
-
It's quite pleasant, I like this weather. If it's not going to snow, this is the type of weather we should have.
-
They're useless though. Why can't we train birds to eat all these bugs? Instead they are being lazy and just singing. If we could implant a control device on a bird's head and tell it to eat all wasps, centipedes, spiders and carpenter bees, that would be great!
-
Not that big, and thin not fat like one of those evil monstrosities. See, thats one monster I wouldn't mind using pesticides to wipe out completely. Something like that deserves to go extinct.
-
Yes, front and back !!
-
The sun is fighting the clouds!
-
glue traps stop them right in their tracks (literally) how do they get inside? I got the glue traps originally to catch mice but the cats and this giant hawk that visits my back yard got rid of the mice and now the glue traps have a secondary function, they catch centipedes without me ever having to see them. A dead centipede looks a lot less scary (and smaller) than a live one!
-
We'll see, but currently none of our local forecasts have any 70s in the 7 day forecast. It might happen in the first week of April instead, everything seems to be delayed a bit.
-
Meanwhile I'm trying to figure out ways to keep these giant carpenter bees out that enter my house every Spring. I don't hurt them or anything. I just close the door and leave for an hour or two; when I come back, they're always gone. They must be smart enough to know how to leave on their own.
