I have an old birdwatching/weather book with a map in it from the 40s and that refers to it as Idlewild too. How old is that airport?
I take it the first data from there is from the mid 50s?
I thought it pretty strange that our low temps have been hanging out in the low 30s a lot, like it's some barrier we can't cross. Typically we get into the mid 20s by late November even in the city and local airports.
and no one wants to clear the foliage? Central Park is so huge why would it so bad if they cleared all the trees within a 30 feet radius of the equipment?
Get a federal mandate to do it so they can do it over the objections of whomever is in charge of making those decisions locally. If the federal govt can come in and nab a police union leader for corruption they should be able to get a few trees knocked down.
why cant they just put it where it cant be accessed? Like put an electric fence around the area or something. The crime rate was really high in the 70s, the city was basically a giant slum, it's nothing like that anymore.
plane skidded off the runway at JFK and into the Bay on the second day of the storm when it switched back to snow and was snowing pretty heavily during the day
three day storm
we never got the predicted 15-20 but didnt care much when we got more than that in the Jan blizzard lol but this storm was underrated and there was still snow and ice on the ground and on the roads from this storm when we got the big blizzard
so we end up with a compromise between two different patterns, because the ridge out west would be really good for us but because of the jet trying to flatten it out the trough gets displaced northeast of us....I see why Ray was using 2007-08 as an analog lol
I think people care about it less now lol. The summer 89s really piss me off. Why cant the feds come in with chainsaws and just knock down all the trees within a 30 feet radius? If they can arrest a police union leader without telling the locals they should be able to chop down a few trees.....
I think we need to get rid of these ASOS entirely, they dont measure wind accurately either and they don't properly identity precip type. The equipment we had before was perfectly fine and accurate why all this waste of money into something that isn't any more accurate?
