    question is.....will it be more like 1995 or 2005 or 2012..........? Three different hyperactive years and three different storm patterns. Considering the similarity to winter 2011-12, the two named storms in May, which also matches 2012, I would say that 2012 is a closer match than the other two seasons.

    only low 80s here but high humidity my first use of the AC this year

    I hate how so many mets are botching the pronunciation of the storm- it shouldn't rhyme with "noble"- it's a Spanish name and should be pronounced that way.

    I'll never forget that fire I saw near I-80 in the Delaware Water Gap, in February! Sign of things to come? The other thing is the two tropical storms in May, haven't seen that since 2012 and that was only the third time that happened. As we all know, Sandy happened in 2012.

    Yeah, seems like a pattern for the summer. Lots of humidity, not much heat for us.

    Burlington topped out at 95 degrees! It was 93 in the Poconos where I was. How is all this heat escaping locations further south like us? Weird to have heat coming in from the north!

    Yes 1944 was one of our 11 yr cycle hot years, it really stands out compared to the other summers in that decade. 1977 was also part of the 11 yr cycle but its extreme heat was brief. possibly because of the second year el nino? Still got us to 104 degrees!
  8. LibertyBell
    How is it so warm so far north and yet not here? Burlington hit 95, an all time monthly record

    I have big wolf spiders and large ants coming inside do they love the humid weather for some reason? RAID doesn't seem to affect them much.

    but extremely humid....one particularly humid day sticks out to me, it was overcast and 80 degrees with 100% humidity.....ugh..... give me 2010 dry heat over that any day, month or year lol.

    So not a 1966-67 or 2009-10-11 repeat? :-(

    wow quite the legendary period! JFK hit 104, EWR hit 105 and LGA hit 107! Looks like NYC was the coolest at 103 at the peak of the heat How did NYC ever hit 106 in July 1936 during the peak of the dust bowl? I wonder how hot JFK, LGA and EWR would have been on that day had they existed? Maybe one or more of them would have been hotter than EWR's July 2011 record of 108?
  13. LibertyBell
    So Cal weather!
  14. LibertyBell
    yes it was the high for the entire year lol- three 90 degree days that entire year and two of them were in May and one day at the end of August when it barely hit 90.

    historic, a near match for 1976....and some of the bluest skies I've ever seen
  16. LibertyBell
    I would have loved the lower humidity, warm or cool....I still remember my first viewing of the Perseids in August 1986, no haze and 50 degree lows! That kind of visibility was never matched again......
  17. LibertyBell
    I wonder if this could lead to a rare dry summer?
  18. LibertyBell
    yes thats why I dont buy some of these climate projections of us averaging 3 100 degree days by 2050.....it will be untolerably humid and air pollution will become horrid (already has) but our highs wont rise all that much because of all the humidity and rain, the mins will be affected much more.....we'll have a Miami like climate.....they dont hit 100 much either. all the humidity and rainfall will blunt the high temps, but it will feel much worse than the dry heat of 1966 and 2010 did.
  19. LibertyBell
    2010 was actually a lot like 1966 (and both were part of the 11 yr cycle).....
  20. LibertyBell
    2008 was hot? No, 2010 was hot lol. Warm and humid with high mins doesn't count in my book
  21. LibertyBell
    1966 was one of my all time favorite summers, although I was not born yet Just from a statistical perspective- hot and dry! The winter that followed would also be among my all time favorites, 1966-67! Nothing is better than hot and dry followed by cold and snowy!
  22. LibertyBell
    50s summers were roasting hot and featured 100s from June through August (and sometimes September!) Also lots of east coast landfalling tropical systems. I think there was a year in there when the northeast had 3 landfalling hurricanes?
  23. LibertyBell
    they must love not having to deal with all these vehicles on the roads and all their noise and pollution
  24. LibertyBell
    nothing wrong with AC- everyone should have it, just like everyone should have heat.
  25. LibertyBell
    I would rather have a warm November, they seem to be better for snowy winters.
