Americans have a far lower IQ than people in those countries. Have you seen the intelligence of foreign students compared to Americans? I mean.... it's not even close.
-
there is no pause on offshore wind, that happens at the state level. Texas, a deep red state is the biggest producer of both wind and solar power and NY and NJ have both built huge offshore wind farms that aren't going anywhere.
-
Whats being ignored is how expensive fossil fuels are, they are definitely not worth it (and that ignores the obvious negative health impact they have.) I switched to electric years ago and never looked back and anyone with an iota of intelligence would do the same.
-
we're definitely in a different climate regime now when drier than normal is the new background.... two historically dry months within a few months of each other (October-- driest month on record and many with 0 precip and now the driest January on record-- any rainy pattern will likely be shortlived.)
-
Don is JFK having their driest January on record too? First October (driest month on record and many had 0 precip that month) and now the driest January on record.

cold dry air also aids in the transmission of viruses and it's not easy on the lungs regardless.
-
norovirus sounds worse than covid lol
-
Thanks, does it have yearly totals for snowfall, I'd like to see which were the snowiest years back then.
-
I try to get it from deep sea fish (which is also good for omega 3's and a number of other nutrients that work well with Vitamin D like Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc.) When taken in supplement form, I notice it also comes with these other nutrients. I like Magnesium particularly because it helps me to sleep (much better than taking some sleeping pill, those have some rather strange side effects.)
-
Yes, especially important in the winter with low sunlight levels. My sister's doctor prescribed her Vitamin D to boost her immune system which was impacted by taking prednisone to combat lupus.
-
Don does this also include seasonal snowfall totals going all the way back to the 1780s?

Hospitals did a patient survey around the NYC area during the pandemic and the result was that obesity, diabetes and asthma were the most important indicators of who suffered a bad outcome from covid. So the most important indicators are diet, sleep and level of air pollution.
-
No it's not ignored there are studies that come out regularly about how important diet is as well as getting a minimum of 6 hours of sleep. Getting less than 6 hours of sleep lowers your lifespan by multiple years. Eating a healthy diet without ultraprocessed food is important, doctors' advice is not to eat something if it has more than 5 ingredients in it.

That must've been the last time all three winter months were colder than normal, I can't remember any others since our great wall to wall winters (1995-96 and 2002-03).
-
I find it really curious that we got below zero in February 2016, during a much warmer climate regime (a super el nino no less), while we could not do it in January 2004, which was a much colder climate regime, and two nights in a row we stopped at +1.
-
The famous Valentines Day 2016 arctic outbreak was the last time NYC went below zero and the only time in February in my lifetime.
-
I thought it was a morbidly obese man jogging by.
-
I remember frozen frost on my windows and could not see outside at all. The curious thing about the park is it hasn't even reached -3 or -4 or anything lower than -2 since the 1940s? I find that very curious. 1943 I think it was, was a very cold winter, including a number of days below zero, -6 was the lowest temperature recorded that winter. I think that was the last time it was below -2 at the park.
-
Perhaps but of note is that most of the time when December and January are cold, February is milder. Maybe just normal weather though, which is just fine as long as it snows.
-
But that still doesn't explain how Newark got down to -8 several times and Philadelphia to -10 and -11 during the 80s. There must be some reason that caps NYC to -2 that has to do with its geography vs Newark and Philly that can get much colder. I think the big change in climate happened after 1994 and not after 1934 (maybe after 1985 if you want to talk about yearly subzero outbreaks), because those other locations were still getting much colder.
-
it was in an ideal location for Allentown to JFK, the bullseye was almost a duplicate of what happened in February 1983
-
1780 also had a notable outbreak that got NYC down to -16, on January 23rd. It seems to be easier to get Newark and Philly to -10 than it is for NYC to get to -10.
-
we also had a nice snowy period around Christmas I think we'll have a wet period pseudo early spring but later on we'll go right back to warm and dry when real spring sets in, just like we have done the last 2 years.
-
a different climate up there, remember we are subtropical ;-) plus we have our driest January on record
-
Ray, do you expect an el nino next year or a second year la nina?
