Major wind kicked up like 30 minutes ago and I'm down around 67 degrees.
But temps here maxed out at 73 or 74 and stayed there for hours, they couldn't get as high as yesterday.
I agree, it's so stupid. RFK wants to ban them, but he'd lose in court.
During the first Trump administration, he signed an EO that said they had to list their prices in ads. It was blocked by a federal judge.
They need Congress to act.
Are we using the latest averages for what normal precip is? We are up like 7 to 8 inches compared to 30 or 40 years ago I believe.
So if the trees were doing just fine with 40 inches of rain, why do we need to maintain our current 50 inches of rain for them to do well?
I think precip distribution is more important than annual totals, because the same trees are still out there from when they were only getting 40 inches and they did just fine.
I hope we get steady breezes in the summer when we need them most. I can't stand that still, ultra humid, stagnant heat in summer that we get so much of. When I'm begging for even a breath of wind it's nowhere to be found.
AIPAC budget is like 10 million a year tops.
Qatar has donated over 6 BILLION to American universities over the last 20 years.
We should move this to banter.
8 inches in that beast! I remember LGA was recording like nothing, but the station is right next to the water and I think that kept their temps at 34 ish and killed accumulation there.
I have visual confirmation that the local roads literally right next to the airport by the Marine Terminal had 4+ inches.
I lucked out and was in a bit of a local jackpot. That storm broke a branch and landed on my car and dented my roof and broke off my driver's side door mirror.
Technically, because of the nature of the atmosphere, every single weather event and observation is influenced by climate change. The atmosphere is one big system.
March was +4 and so far April is +1 so I'm not surprised things greened up in a hurry.
The sad thing is people I know were acting like it was so cold this spring and winter lol they have lost all sense of perspective. It's been above normal for so long that they've gotten used to North Carolina averages.
Bro of all the years lol
2015 was like the last time we had a few months in a row for real below normal, including March being almost -5.
April finished slightly above normal. So I'm not surprised that season was behind this one.
