Silver Meteor

The official season of 1914 consisted of just one tropical storm (rated at 60knots with landfall around Jax Fla.) I would also note 1914 produced a devastating nor'easter on the Mid-Atlantic Coast. Image below is from Rehoboth Beach, DE. Thinking of the Great Atlantic Coastal Storm of March 1962 storm I researched a bit. The Atlantic was active in 1961 then relatively quiet in 1962 (least active since 1946.) El Nino didn't appear until 1963. Another 1962 storm, less well known to those of us in the East, was the Columbus Day Storm, the most devastating in Oregon history.

Temperature here in Eastern North Carolina fell like a rock when the nor'easter approached then moved through. It's only now starting to get back to "warm" (by our standards anyway.)

Hello from Eastern N.C. I lived in Bronxville, NY from 1951-53 until my father returned to Washington, D.C. where he grew up. As a youngster my parents would send me off for a few weeks every summer to Grandma's house in Bronxville. The area was beautiful, I remember riding my tricycle along the brick sidewalks. I'd also walk down to the station to buy penny gum or candy from the little vending machines and watch the trains. I guess this is where I got my love for trains. Never heard of City Island before, it looks like a great place. Probably get some decent snow in winter unlike my current home (except for the 14" whopper last winter which blew me away after 20 years here without ever seeing more than 3".) Hope all is well at your end, and wishing you a fun winter.

Thought you were joking until I looked it up ...

Anyone else watching the July 5th fireworks in DC? Going to be a lot of exhausted people tonight.

Atlantic: 10/5/2 ACE 82

And an Azores Low?

Would love to have one right now because it's roasting here in Eastern N.C. (Worse yet it will be four more days before we break below 90F for a high.) Sure hope this is not a sign of things to come for the next several months. SIGH.

Snowing nicely in Utah's Wasatch Mountains tonight. https://www.brightonresort.com/conditions

Some good replies on this one (especially the one about banks): https://x.com/mazemoore/status/2055376238345076837

Cold and cloudy for the East, warm, sunny and dry for the West, that pretty much describes this winter. Snowfall in the Rockies has been much below normal with some resorts now closing early. Brighton, Utah which I follow regularly has had 233" of snow so far while the full season average is 500". Down in the Salt Lake Valley my cousin says only 1" this winter. Could be water shortages ahead. Currently an historic heat wave is underway with temps at monthly extremes. Here in Eastern North Carolina 28F yesterday and 30F this morning, very cold for us. https://www.powder.com/news/lake-tahoe-resorts-close-heat-wave

Watching the radar over Delaware last night I noticed "yellow sparkles" showing up with some of the most intense and persistent snow bands. They matched up well with the areas of highest reported snow, especially the Seaford to Laurel area.
