  1. I was thinking that too. Didn't we have a storm like this in Dec of 1994 or something like that? It was a hybrid tropical noreaster and hooked into JFK, do you remember it?
  2. If we do get a direct hit from a hurricane this season it would maintain a lot of its strength.
  3. JFK 3 degrees hotter than NYC on a sea breeze, interesting
  4. There should be a way to attach a tiny camera to the bear and see what it sees, the journey must've been an odyssey. I doubt a human could survive such a grueling journey.
  5. Don did you read the part about a polar bear making it up there for the first time ever? Thats one of the craziest things I've ever read, it must've been a multiyear trek!
  6. Is that Summit Camp? Thats the top of the ice cap on Greenland, I follow their hourly weather data (updated on weatherbug) they are the coldest location by extreme temp in the northern hemisphere.
  7. when is this current bout of extreme dew points supposed to end? It's been utterly miserable the last couple of days.
  8. What exactly is keeping this from going further west, a front coming in?
  9. I was going by the NHC official track which had it weakening at our latitude or just before.
  10. I wonder how much rain for us on that track. Also do you think the storm will be really destructive for the Cape even if it makes landfall only as a TS (65 mph) there? Weren't Bertha and Floyd both 65 mph TS when they made landfall on Long Island? Didn't see much destruction there.
  11. you're right of course but a caveat in this case is the much cooler waters east of here, if it makes landfall on the Cape it looks like it will only be a TS at LF
  12. so basically what I heard Dr Postel say is that if the storm is stronger it will be further west and if it's weaker it'll hit the cape. The choice according to the maps posted is either out to sea, a 65 mph TS hitting the Cape or (the extreme scenario) an 85 mph H hitting the tristate
  13. hmmm if this storms hits eastern NE it will likely only be a TS when it gets into the much colder waters up there. It's only chance of making a landfall as a hurricane is in the tristate area
  14. tossing runs that favor weenies is discrimination
  15. I saw a video of one but it was in eastern PA
  16. Yeah it was horrible. I know the impact of it is bad, but I mean it's not something I ever want to experience and I dont want anyone else to experience it either. Honestly, I'll be super happy once we have climate control and limit the destruction to lives and property that weather events cause. I dont mind a few inches of rain and some wind (like in the 30-50 mph area, thats not really destructive.) But 60+ mph winds and high surge are too destructive to really be something to look forward to. Of course your tastes may vary.
