    The last two springs have been very nice, dry and warm and last April we hit the 90s two days in a row.
  2. LibertyBell
    Think we'll likely hit 90 at least once in May, Don?

    It was really nice until that wind brought back my allergies. All the clear blue skies from this afternoon made this morning's heavy rain a distant memory and then I saw a few puffy cumulus give us a pink sunset.

    Why is it our local broadcasters almost uniformly underforecast the temperatures, Don? I even heard them say "no 70s for the next 7 days" and they busted badly on the first day of that forecast!

    Lots of auroral activity too

    I find extensive heat powerful and memorable, those summers stay in our memories just like big snowstorms do.

    a lesson learned from my dearly departed parents, you're very welcome!

    Nice to see the sun out!
  9. LibertyBell
    Yes-- next year is the peak of activity (solar maximum).

    Figures, with how many I saw with just a camera and 300mm lens right in the camera's LCD! It's why we had all those gorgeous pink storms around the sun's outer rim during the total solar eclipse too. Is there a timeframe when to keep track of sunspot count prior to the winter-- like, fall, or summer? Interesting thing about 2004, that was right in the middle of a series of snowy winters (2002-03 to 2004-05)
  11. LibertyBell
    Interesting, Larry! Now that I'm doing solar photography, I'm very interested in sunspots! What is our current sunspot count? When I took pictures of them on Tuesday I could easily see at least a dozen of them! We're near solar maximum now.

    It's always about the blocking here-- it's very rare to get 1995-96 or 2010-11 kind of blocking, when that happens it trumps everything else. But those are once in a generation kind of winters.

    I thought that with stronger Bermuda highs we'd get more Gulf Coast activity and storms that hit Florida and keep moving west? What's causing them to recurve more now vs what happened in 2004 and 2005 as well as 2020, JM? Typically our hyperactive seasons are focused in the GOM not up here. If you look at the years in which NJ and Long Island got hit by hurricanes, few or none of them were hyperactive.

    Don, why don't we see interest in summer weather too? I find extreme heat just as exciting as the thought of big snowstorms. Both involve high numbers-- 20 inches of snow and 100 degrees are equally exciting because both are very rare.

    We are very close and she also wants to write a book. I write various material, mostly poetry, but also short stories and science documentaries. I finally figured out a way to share some of my writing without clogging up the thread, I screenshotted some of it. Some of these were inspired by music I listened to, others came to me in my dreams.

    Billy Joel was singing about Anthony during his 100th concert at MSG (it was on last night).

    Low 60s and sunshine and no rain for 30 days straight is perfect. I don't care how much of a drought we get if it doesn't rain the entire summer, I'm fine with it, 70% of the world is covered by oceans, maybe we should start using that water.

    Mark Twain had a thing or ten to say about statistics lol
  19. LibertyBell
    Hot and dry is better. The entire Atlantic can evaporate for all I care.
  20. LibertyBell
    I wouldn't mind moving the earth 10 million miles closer to the sun, maybe that would burn off these clouds.

    Thanks, I deleted all of them, but there is still a file size limit of 1.95 MB so I just uploaded one of the smaller ones. The file size limit of 1.95 MB is per file and also per post.
  22. LibertyBell
    There's a lot of sunspot activity on the sun right now. I'm not good with post processing so I don't know how easy it will be to see them here, but there are three in the upper right, one in the middle, two in the lower right and one in the upper left. I used a two filter stack for this image, one to block 99.9999% of sunlight and the other to block IR and UV. It won't let me upload more than one image and not even the one with the sun the largest size (since those are all over 4 MB in size.)

    Hey quick question, how do I delete all my attachments lol. I wanted to post some pictures I took of the sun (there's a lot of sunspots visible right now), but I can't post any because I have a limit of 1.95 MB and the file I want to post is between 4-5 MB.
  24. LibertyBell
    I thought so haha. I'll write an autobiography one day lol. I was into snow, limitless energy and magnets before the internet and before we even had cable TV.

    Yup, the closest comparison would be to Florida cold.... it can be chilly for a few hours just before and just after sunrise, but as soon as the sun comes up in the sky, it feels nice. It's hard to have a high under 60 if it's going to be sunny this time of year.
