  1. How did you get so high when you're further east from me and sticking out into the ocean lol?
  2. it didn't work for me. I'll just copy and paste the entire tweet and just save and upload any images in the tweet.
  3. High quantities of highly toxic carcinogen 1,4-Dioxane has been found in the Town of Hempstead in all 9 water treatment plants and the Town is asking for $55 million dollars from the federal government to build a new water treatment plant (the other ones were built in 1932!) to clean the water of this toxic chemical that causes kidney and liver cancers with hydrogen peroxide. If it doesn't get the money our taxes will be going up (this is well worth it.)
  4. I've felt very dizzy in humid heat before but this is nothing like that. I remember a day in July 1996 which was a summer with almost no 90 degree days, but we had a lot of very humid days with temps in the 80s, I felt extremely light headed on an overcast day with a temperature of 80 and a dew point of 80 (100% humidity.) That's the lowest actual temp that ever happened to me. Interestingly I have never had this issue when it was sunny no matter how high the temperature was, it's only when it's cloudy and extremely humid that I've ever felt light headed.
  5. I would like to get away from an engineering based scale and back to a scientific meteorological based one. When do you think we will be able to get accurate wind speeds based on radar so we don't need a damage based scale and have one based on actual wind speeds like we have with hurricanes?
  6. This is why to get any kind of consistent snowfall in the winter or heat in the summer you have to move away from the coast.
  7. your favorite trash swamp thing doesn't think that air pollution can mutate genes, he is proof that it does.

  9. get your blood sugar and blood pressure checked
  10. it really sounds like the reason this block is bad is because it's ocean based. Because the waters are warmer than air temps in the winter and cooler than air temps in the spring and summer, it has the effect of smoothing out our extremes and making our winters warmer and our springs and summers cooler.
  11. This occurred to me too-- air pollution actually does mutate genes. It's right there on the CDC website, in addition to causing asthma it can also damage genes (makes sense since clean oxygen is needed for every bodily function.)
  12. There is karma going on too-- I want you to look this up because it's ironic in a way, there's research showing that fossil fuels might actually be driving down male fertility (sperm are quite sensitive to chemical toxins.)
  13. Is it possible for it to become south based during the summer too?
  14. It's still going up because of the developing world (mostly SubSaharan Africa) but the projections are that after 2050 it will start to fall there too.
  15. We have also now found these forever chemicals linked to the rising number of cases of diabetes (it's an epidemic now-- also because of an unhealthy highly processed food diet.)
  16. Yes John and this is why the UN projects the population to stabilize before 2100. At this rate it might happen far before then.
  17. Interesting-- so this same pattern makes it mild in the winter and cool in the spring and summer? Why doesn't it link up in the spring and summer the same way it does in the winter? Looks like we also need this block to go away to finally have some cold and snow in winter too.
  18. Tony JFK was still cold in 2020 on this date? 42 degrees after snow on the 9th, wow! Highs:EWR: 96 (1996)NYC: 93 (1996)LGA: 93 (1996)JFK: 90 (1996)Lows:EWR: 42 (2002)NYC: 40 (1907)LGA: 45 (2002)JFK: 42 (2020) I remember that heat wave from 1996 very well-- it was the only heat that entire year lol.
  19. when do these blocks no longer become a factor? In summer, I dont think it would matter if there were a block there or not-- it would be hot either way.
  20. complain when it's 95, 70-80 degrees is not hot.
  21. Both days will be fine, it's Monday that it will rain.
  22. So glad I don't live in that part of the country-- for multiple reasons lol.
  23. No one has been able to answer this for me.... why did they create an entirely new scale? Why not just plug in the EF values into the old F scale, I actually like that scale much better.
  24. wow thanks Don, these are absolutely stunning! I wonder what the Cheshire Cat looks like :-)
