  1. hopefully it will result in universal healthcare, needed reforms happen after terrible events....
  2. Just look at whats going on in Siberia, never thought I'd see 100 degree temps in the high arctic and forest fires next to sea ice!
  3. cant link you to a TV press conference It was one of Cuomo's pressers (I think the one on Thursday?) where he listed the Finger Lakes region at 3% infection rate, while NYC was 0.9% and Long Island was 0.7%. NYC and Long Island were down from 1.3% and 1.1% respectively and the Finger Lakes was up from around 1% Good thing I still have a (near) photographic memory, because I dont save links
  4. I suppose washing everything thoroughly does the job too The reason I quit eating strawberries was because I read that chlorpyrifos was sprayed on it, which was supposed to be banned, as it's been convincingly connected to brain damage, but needless to say there was an administration change in 2016 and the ban was rescinded.
  5. I can tell when I visit the Poconos, it must have been magnificent back then. Cant see the Milky Way at all until you're at least 50 miles outside of the city.
  6. will this result in more colorful sunrises and sunsets for us?
  7. Better stay at Phase 2 until a vaccine is developed- the parts of the state that have gone into Phase 3 have seen a tripling of the infection rate.
  8. do you eat any of the stuff you spray pesticides on? I stopped eating strawberries because they're on many lists for having the most pesticides on them. Half of the pesticides sprayed in this country need to be banned (and are banned in Europe and Canada- unfortunately the chemical industry is in bed with American politicians, just like most other industries are.)
  9. what about those devices that trap insects? I have one with a blue bulb that traps gnats- I had a large swarm of them over the weekend following me around!
  10. Crazy to see forecasts of Caribou, Maine approaching 100 degrees when we haven't even hit 90 here yet.
  11. NYC seems to be headed down that same road this year.....first half of June has been exceptionally dry, and May was very dry too.
  12. oh I meant this summer might include late heat like 1995 did....along with the dry weather we're already seeing becoming a fire hazard just like 1995 was in August. Next summer might be more like 2010 with all that heat and setting records all over the place.
  13. I'm already worried about this hurricane season.......
  14. They're switching to "smart lighting" which is dimming lighting after 11 PM..... better for health and a good night's sleep!
  15. Nice outlook, Tom! The real headline summer of the decade will be in 2021....it follows the 11 year cycle that began in 1933.....(maybe there was too much of a little ice age influence still going on before that?) Based on how the 11 yr cycle summers have been getting hotter.....2021 may eclipse 2010!
  16. it does sound somewhat like 1995, where summer warmth was mostly in July and August. Either way I strongly think that this summer will take a back seat to the scorcher next summer will be.
  17. hmmm if so that might mean a late hot summer for us, sort of like 1995?
  18. high humidity is a type of air pollution and causes breathing difficulties
  19. was that 2017 when JFK had like 42 75+ dew point days?
  20. ah the nights are amazing when that happens! so nice and cool and so many stars to see and no yucky haze!
  21. Remember August 1995 with all the wild fires? I think we didn't have any precip at all that month until the very last day.....I wish it had waited for one more day (and it almost did, we got it in the hours before September started!) With all that tropical activity in 1995 and most of it turned right before reaching us.
  22. what caused that warming and how long do you think it'll last? The low high for Spring 1968 really stands out!
  23. would be nice to be in NW flow to keep the humidity in check!
  24. Yes and looks like after a few days of work it will be off again for the weekend.
