applying pesticide to your clothes is not the same thing as eating it lol

Permethrin is what I have for my clothes. I just wish we had a pesticide for deer lol, the damn things love to jump over my fence. I have read that opossums have a big appetite for deer. I hope the pesticides you use are safer than what I've read about, which can be bad for children and for pets (glyphosate sprayed parks carry warnings on them to keep children and pets away.)

Yes but it also applies to Nassau County aka Western Long Island which is also overdeveloped. Snowfall amounts go up as you head east to Suffolk County because they are closer to late developing Miller B tracks. A prime example is how much more snow they get in March than we do.

I think this is more than just random, the same thing happened in the 80s and early and late 90s. It's a fact of nature that NYC and surrounding area is in a really bad place for snow-- we are between two predominant tracks, one that goes north of us and the other goes south of us. Delaware and Maryland are doing better for snow too. 1) being too close to a warming ocean (43-45F) 2) being too far west for late developing coastals 3) being too far north for typical strong el nino storms 4) being too far south for typical clippers 5) being too far east for typical west to east storms

we've given too much power to the states-- look what Alaska has been doing-- unnecessarily exterminating bears and wolves when the real issue is climate change. https://grist.org/science/alaska-predator-control-caribou-wolves-bear-hunt/?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us

I think we can hit 100 at JFK like we did in 2012 (and we came close in some other years more recently when we hit 99-- I think that was in 2017 and 2018?)

This is why I think we're in store for a scorching summer with 30+ 90 degree days and 100+ days finally right to the coast, and then we could even have a winter with more snow this winter and last winter combined (not saying much for the winter I know lol)

oh god, I found 9 ticks on my clothes or in my hair last year and bought this pesticide spray to use, a deer crashed into my pool and died and ever since then the tick population boomed. I only went to that house once every 2 weeks but every time I went there I found a tick on me and this was long after that deer had been removed. is there any way to permanently remove ticks so they get exterminated and can't exist on a given piece of land anymore? we've seen ticks as early as February too, like in 2018 when it was 80 degrees. Yes! I saw two different kinds of ticks, one was a very small black one and then a larger brown one which was the longhorn tick. Nine of them on my clothes or in my hair after that deer landed in my pool on my property in the Poconos and ever since then I started using that pesticide spray on all my clothes so much of it that it actually burned my skin. When the weather got cold finally the ticks disappeared.

Was one in January and the other one in February? I think the January one was probably the 14" (close to the total in NYC) and the other one was around 18" (but JFK reported that as 14" too for some reason, even though there was more snow to the east of NYC, which recorded 18".

It's still south of us though. More than an hour-- it takes me 3 hours to get to the Poconos.

Could the extra heat also be because we are in a solar maximum like we were in the early 90s? This has been all the talk because of the upcoming total solar eclipse in April.

This continent is way too narrow, maybe if we were as big as Eurasia is, an ocean that far to our west wouldn't mess up our weather so much.

I'd also like to see what happens this summer, traditionally don't we have a scorching hot summer going from an el nino to a la nina (see Summer of 1983, Summer of 1995, Summer of 2005 and Summer of 2010)? And la nina winters after el nino winters are usually snowy too-- so maybe next winter will be snowier?

and this is normal in a big el nino-- to get more snow to the south? The same thing happened in 09-10.

It looks like the pattern will be either mild and rainy or cold and dry for this winter then. The big el nino didn't make any difference over last winter.

It looks like they put sand down here instead. Everything looks like a chocolatey brown here today on the roads lol. Makes me yearn for hot cocoa lol.

It depends where they are talking about naturally. We are still at around 2-2.5 inches of snow for the entire season in the city and close by.

Right that reminds me of January 2016 when we had 3 inches liquid equivalent; it looked like a lot of fluff, but with the high winds and the weight of the snow it ended up being around 11:1

JFK reported 14" in that storm though. That looks like more than 14"

Where was the Bermuda High when these two coastals were going out to see though

Unfortunately some of us were expecting a 02-03 repeat after last season was so much like 01-02 lol

I wonder if the big ice storm we had back here in SW Nassau was more rain further east? I always noticed that the freezing line didn't get west of Freeport in big winters like that. Millenium storm in Dec 2000 was also better for us as well as VD 2007

very specifically the south shore benefits in Miller A coastals that do not change to a mix or rain, thats when we jackpot

hope for January 2016 instead
