Gravity is over! LMAO

This is going to miss us too lol

lol a little east of here has had even less snowfall (2") than we have (3").... any idea what that station is with 2" of snow? Farmingdale?

You should change your name to Stormtracker Ant. Seriously, ever since you became MJO812 we have not had MJO 8,1, OR 2 for more than a very brief period.

OES, Ed?

Don, do you have a short list of winters that had that kind of bad pattern the most?

For an all in one solution I highly recommend reading reviews of the Panasonic FZ300 camera, it is absolutely amazing. Being able to go from 25-600mm EFL on a constant f/2.8 lens with the extensive feature set of this camera is absolutely amazing. It's weather and dust resistant too! It also does 4K extremely well and has 4K Photo Mode on top of it for up to 30 minutes of continuous photography! I just got this camera this past fall and I absolutely love it!

I see a report of 1.0" from near JFK that I doubt, and that 13.7" over NE PA looks really doubtful lol.

Walt is that a report of 13.7" I see over NE PA lol?

for water, dont drink out of a plastic bottle, I use a six stage filter system. the filter does need to be changed out every year, but that's a small price to pay.

at a minimum our EPA should be doing its job and banning pesticides that are banned in other countries, but instead we need class action lawsuits to stop these corrupt companies. I am glad the Michael J Fox Foundation is now suing the EPA to put an end to their influence by the chemical lobby. Read this

the benefit to USDA organic (which is certified) is that it "should" not have pesticides in it. Unfortunately our regulatory agencies are captured, and many of the pesticides this backwards country still allows are banned in all other developed nations. The UN panel of scientists has clearly stated that pesticides are not needed on produce and should not be used anymore-- they are linked to everything from the current mass extinction of pollinators to major health issues in humans and other animals. There have been studies done showing that pesticides are present in the blood and urine of people who consume conventional food and none in those who consume food that is certified not to contain those pesticides. this only applies to pesticides of course, I don't know what the benefit would be regarding fish, if any. we've detected pesticides in our blood stream and they've been proven to cause brain development issues in children including autism and adhd. I try to grow my own food whenever possible, as removing pesticides from food is a tedious process that involves soaking in vinegar for 15 min and washing with soap and water both before and after that it's also good to avoid factory farmed meat, because 1) it's immoral and 2) it's unhealthy. that's why I only eat free range, no antibiotics and the animals weren't tortured in producing it.

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.
