  1. forget that... give me 101 with a dewpoint of 60 any day over this humid polluted mess
  2. Are they also predicting many TC tracks from NC to points north? and also predicting avg to below avg temps for the summer?
  3. humidity doesn't save us, dry heat feels MUCH better than humid heat, even if it's 10 degrees "cooler" 101 with a dew point of 60 is much better than 91 with a dew point of 75 in 2010 JFK had 3 days out of 4 of 100+ and it felt so good, I went out running in it.
  4. we were even close here on the south shore near JFK, it was three days out of four of 100+
  5. I wouldn't say it's rough, I'd say it's absolutely glorious because westerly winds remove our main source of pollution-- which is water vapor.
  6. We hit 108 on Long Island in 2011, one of our wettest years on record.
  7. Is there any evidence from the geological record that this happened hundreds of years ago Don, maybe in PreColumbian times?
  8. Can these even be considered to be accurate if they keep changing the numbers? 3.8 should just be considered 4.
  9. It was 4.0-- I keep wondering about the accuracy of these measurements if they keep having to change them
  10. sleet how? it was in the 40s....
  11. But wasn't 2010 dry? and you can still have well over 100 degrees in a wet pattern-- 2011 is proof of this
  12. Yeah like I said in the main thread, you should be northeast of a line from Syracuse to Watertown-- and the further east the better.
  13. I'm so sorry, I lost my dad 10 years ago, and life has never been the same since.
  14. I think using the national blend of models is best, the blending seems to improve the accuracy.
  15. I would say that's probably wrong unless you head to Plattsburgh it's probably not going to be good at Syracuse (maybe Watertown will be better.)
  16. This felt stronger than the 2011 quake (which was centered further south.) I felt that gust of wind right at the start of the aftershock, but then the wind stopped and the aftershock kept going lol
  17. I saw that day in 1783 was particularly destructive with two foreshocks and an aftershock in addition to the main earthquake-- I take it none of the foreshocks or aftershock registered as 4.0 or higher? and I see that 1938 had a series of quakes a few weeks before the big hurricane too, wow.
  18. Didn't dream of you having to put together such a list, Don. Was there a 5.5 sometime in our past? ABC listed that as being the strongest quake to hit our region in recorded history. It would be interesting if such quakes became more common going forward (for whatever reason including higher large rainfall events.)
  19. Baltimore reminded me of The Mothman Prophecies. That was based around another bridge collapse and the happenings around that time were creepy to say the least.
  20. Yeah this registers a 0.8 on the Long Island Traffic Index
  21. I feel like there was an aftershock stronger the original quake a few years ago in California.... just going by my memory, of course such a thing would have a higher chance of happening there. This was a 4.0 following a 4.8 which itself had only a 10% of happening.
  22. Maybe one of these days we'll have computer models that predict when and where earthquakes have a higher chance of occurring.
