  1. Baseball season will start in less than a month
  2. wow mid 70s on this date in 1997 and then the April Fools Day snowstorm more than a month later lol
  3. why are we getting this cold blast when it was supposed to be nice and mild from here on out?
  4. They're all doing direct flights for the total solar eclipse too, I've read that millions of people will be traveling to see it.
  5. Do you remember the summer of 1993, it was our hottest summer on record up to that point. We all had numerous days above 100+, JFK had 2 in a row from what I remember, NYC had 3 in a row and EWR had 5 in a row. The 90s were the decade that had our most 90 degree days and also our most 100 degree days-- the summers of 1991, 1993, 1995 and 1999 were all extremely hot.
  6. if December is bad then thats a sign for not much snow for us too-- 2014-15 was the only major recent exception
  7. yeah it was mostly an inland winter we were on the edge of the heavier snows
  8. Definitely had some good winters since then like 2017-18 and 2020-21 but the main effect aside from the awful last 2-3 winters was a huge bump in winter time temperatures. NYC has a total of 6 DJF average temperatures of 40 F or higher and 5 of them have happened since 2000.
  9. But what about looking at Venus and seeing what happened there and picturing that happening here...
  10. And John, why is the US increasing emissions, we are out of time and this should not be done, we have reached new highs in fossil fuel extraction at record levels.
  11. then you shouldnt like it, it just means dreary soggy weather. the best weather is now!
  12. I wonder what the low was at KFOK
  13. song birds chirping all morning
  14. why werent there these wildfires back when we were much drier? 2002 was extremely dry-- much more than we are now and yet there were no wildfires? The grass was parched yellow all summer....
  15. Do you think we've reached a place and time where 40 degree average winter temperatures are now the norm?
  16. these are human caused aerosols? where did they come from?
  17. this is where government needs to step in and push the fossil fuel companies out the same way we did with tobacco companies. Force them to pay for billion dollar disasters until it gets to the point where they cant function as businesses anymore.
  18. It is in a sense, you cant let corporate lobbyists be involved here. This has to be a strictly scientific solution, let the scientists decide and keep the fossil fuel companies out of it. Capitalism in its most corrupt form is oligarchy and thats what happens with corporate dark money corrupting politics.
  19. But who is ultimately at fault with this John, scientists, media, government, lobbyists or all of the above? The problem with capitalism is that we are still letting fossil fuel companies be part of the solution-- we can't allow that to happen. Corporate lobbyists and their dark money need to be removed on every level.
  20. But those places are always hot lol-- in 1993 Newark had 9 days of 100 degrees or higher (including 5 days in a row!)-- has that ever been matched? I think we can finally call it a new climate when the coast gets temperatures every year over 100 degrees-- do you think we'll have that by 2050? I want JFK to get at least one high every year over 100 degrees.
  21. 20-21 didn't have the best storm tracks for us either
  22. that was the all day white out-- like a half sized version of January 2016 lol\ true blizzard conditions for 6 straight hours instead of 12
  23. but you'd think the opposite would be true, since more snow and cold breeds more snow and cold and patterns tend to get stuck. Some outside factor has to come in and dislodge them-- like the 2015-16 super el nino.
  24. we need a massively active typhoon season out there to do that don't we?
