Picked up another 0.61” of rain from this storm so 2 day total is now at 1.66” 

Storm over the sound/nassau looks like it’s falling apart as is tradition 

Looks like the rain is over for now, picked up 1.05” of rain here

Some pretty good lightning strikes and maybe some gusts to 30 mph with the storm passing through

Down to 63 here now from a high of 94

69/60 now, dropped from 83 at 7:30

I guess the sea breeze has moved in a little because temp dropped to about 90 here from a high of 94

Looks like the front has passed montauk now

94/69 here, HI up to 99

Up to 92 here in lindenhurst

Officially hit 90 for the first time this year imby

Who else is ready to see maybe 1 meteor because the light pollution is horrible around here 

Pretty tame storm, maybe a gust to 25 mph with a few rumbles of thunder

20/7/4

I probably won’t see any storms today, but I did get this nice shot of the sunset and horrible gas prices

Marginal Risk up for the whole area today, with Slight towards the NW

Peaked at 89/73 here, down to 80/68 now in only an hour

88/72 now, heat index up to 96

Pretty big temperature bust here on the south shore, it’s currently 86 with a dewpoint of 70

68 for my station back home on long island, meanwhile up to 77 here in Albany

My station only read 64 for high today back home, it was 76 here in albany. Strong flow off the ocean I guess?

I’d give this winter a B at home mostly because I got 22” of snow in the blizzard and an D- here in albany because the sleet storm was interesting. I’m honestly sick of the cold though after walking to class every day for a month on this frigid windy ass campus

I bet the Aug ‘19 storm was the same that took out the tree that hit my house. Micro/down burst about 9 or 10pm right? I think we hit 92mph that night iirc. 

Yeah that’s the one, I wasn’t even paying attention that day since the severe threat was only marginal. I had my headphones on listening to music and suddenly the lights started flickering and the dog ran in my room freaking out. Then I look at side and rain is going sideways with hurricane force wind gusts

With all the wind events we have had, Long Island has not had a direct hit from a hurricane in almost 40 years. Another thing that seems to not happen as much are good winter cold fronts that come thru with heavy snow squalls. Maybe tomorrow will be an exception.

Do you remember that snow squall we had in February 2019 I think? Was a pure white out for maybe 15 minutes, probably the only true snow squall we’ve had in the past decade

Trees have really taken a beating since 2010. Probably the worst tree damage for our area over a 10-12 year period. So many weakened trees have already fallen. Plus many homeowners have done removals of trees that were to close to their house. The professional tree cutting business has been booming.

My parents recently removed th3 elm tree in our yard last fall, kinda unfortunate since I liked that tree. It managed to survive Sandy and Isaias despite losing some large branches, but it was honestly getting way to big for the yard, the roots started burrowing into the foundation of the home, and with all the high wind events that we get now, it probably would have fallen at some point. Interestingly enough when I was visiting during winter break I noticed that a sapling sprouted from the stump so it’s not exactly dead surprisingly
