Didn’t notice honestly. Got some treehouse

The TH cans were too expensive for me. $5 a can for Heady was way more reasonable. I know they’re like $13/14 in Vermont for a 4-pack but $20 is a proper price around here.

They still have any of that Heady Topper left? 

That cluster of thunderstorms in the Atlantic looks like it’s heading right into the middle of LI if it can keep its crap together.  

So…it’s pouring, there were 2 sick gusts, it’s hailing, there’s a rainbow and and it’s sunny out…all at once in Lindenhurst.  

Outside in Jamaica, it’s like a baseball bat to the face. It’s actually smoky, like flying around in the air. The smell is like a campfire 10 feet away. It’s jarring to see and smell. Like, a dream or something.

Wait a volcano erupted in Hawaii now ?

Apparently Kilauea on the Big Island.

Lower Manhattan earlier today and 1pm

Definitely a lot worse now then even 2 hours ago. No question. 

Can literally smell smoke inside my LIRR train right now. It’s not even subtle. Have had a light headache all morning too. This is nuts. 

It is much breezier than what the NWS forecasted. It feels good, it’s keeping things comfortable, but we’re getting 30-35 mph gusts which I saw no indication of.

looks to start around 8-9am for Long Island

Alright, that’s good. The lighter stuff early and the later start on the rain should keep the grass field good for me and she’s playing on turf. Thanks! 

Any rain should be starting later in the morning now? I’m kicking the ball around a little after 8 in Sayville and my older daughter is playing in North Babylon around 10:30. We should be good for both, no? 

That August ‘19 thunderstorm took down a tree that hit my house, put a small hole in my roof and then bounced off, destroyed my porch and a branch broke the windshield on my car. I believe it registered a 92mph gust. Not a fun night.

Man the south shore of Suffolk is roasting with this west wind. 67-68 already out there…LI special

Yup, it is 66 right now. Feels like a late April/early May morning. This is nuts!

-25 is the threshold for wind chill warnings 

Wow. Damn.

why is it we no longer get wind advisories or high wind warnings or wind chill advisories or wind chill warnings like we used to?

 

I’m guessing the arctic mass must have been entering my area when I made that post, but winds were whipping at the time (I’d say in the 45mph range) and pretty consistent. I was under the assumption the worst of the winds are for after 5pm (which they certainly may be). I’m in Queens now (and indoors) but I don’t see how this didn’t qualify as a wind advisory at the least. Or, like you said, a wind chill warning. 

LOL at no wind advisory.

Not sure people fully grasp how little snow 0.4" actually is. 

Think it’s more of a case that people are that desperate for any kind of a snow event or accumulation. Even this pittance.  

Half-inch possible between 3a and 5a? You think they’ll have delayed school openings? 

Slight snow shower in Rockville Centre right now. 

Wind underperformed for this, no? 

Seems as though it’s finally backed off a bit. Getting 35-40mph gusts now instead of house rockers I was getting an hour or two ago. I know it’s gonna be annoyingly breezy until Sunday night but at least it seems the worst is over. 
 

The 40 degree range in high to low temps today are absolutely bananas. Still can’t believe the difference in temperature in the errands I ran at 2 and getting my daughter off the bus at 3:30. 

Lol, this wind is insane. I’m getting 45-50mph gusts easily right now. 

Just went out to get my youngest from the bus stop. Holy hell! It’s freezing and the wind is coming from the NNW completely now. Crazy! 

Holy crap, I’m guessing this is the back end of the front?? Just came in with a vengeance. Gusty southwest wind and a torrential burst out of, seemingly, nowhere. 

Looks like some serious rain coming off the water to hit eastern LI soon. Wind is already gusting.
