  1. Tough to find any good info about 90 degree days in Buffalos history, found this chart. Looks like 10 is the max? This only goes up to 2008, but I don't think we beat 10 in the last 12 summers.
  2. The local record for the longest stretch of days in which the temperature reached or exceeded 90 degrees is seven, from July 3 to July 10, 1988 https://buffalonews.com/news/local/buffalo-flirts-with-90-degree-temps-with-longer-heat-wave-on-the-way/article_15134b08-a2cf-5f79-b19a-f693f7414714.html
  3. I plan to do either a NW road trip or SW road trip this September for 2 weeks depending on where COVID dies down.
  4. It's snowing in Wyoming in July though. https://capcity.news/latest-news/2020/07/01/wyomings-togwotee-pass-gets-snow-on-first-day-of-july/
  5. I believe this year will beat 2012 for the lowest arctic sea ice on record.
  6. Just saw this earlier...INSANE https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/06/what-100-degree-day-siberia-means-climate-change/ https://www.sciencenews.org/article/siberia-verkhoyansk-record-heat-wave-arctic-circle Buffalo has never hit 100.
  7. .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... ...Heat Advisories May Be Needed for Much of this Period... An upper level ridge will push eastward this period, pushing 850 hPa temperatures of +18 to +21C across our region. However, with the westerly flow aloft, and no deep southerly flow transporting Gulf of Mexico moisture northward...moisture will not increase dramatically and PWATS through much of the period range from 1.0 to 1.5 inches. This moisture (PWATs just over 1.5 inches) and surface dewpoints will peak Tuesday night and Wednesday ahead of a shortwave trough. Surface temperatures will build with mid 80s to lower 90s common through the period. With the drying ground it is not out of the question that we could see some mid 90s...especially in the Genesee Valley where winds will downslope. Though hot, moderate levels of humidity will hold back apparent temperatures early in the week...and not until mid-week as surface moisture increases that we may near heat advisory levels (95F). Nighttime temperatures will provide little relief either as they remain in the low 70s in most locations. Have aimed above most guidance packages for temps...staying in the upper quartile of packages.
  8. I don't remember a heat wave like this since I've been on these forums. Maybe 2012? Already 87 degrees at KBUF, should be close to 90 by 4.
  9. This July has a chance to be the warmest ever if modeling is correct.
  10. That AC guy I talked to said best time to install is March/April where they essentially install at cost. Right now it would be $1,000 more because of the demand. So next year I will be getting it installed in the beginning of the year.
  11. Where did you find that data wolf? Can you post Buffalos?
  12. When are you moving there? At least you're still in the forum! They have decent totals down there, and good retention at that elevation.
  13. There are 32 Hospitalizations in WNY related to COVID. There are a million people in WNY. That is .0032% of people. Open up the gyms...
  14. Except there are some really old AC/Heating systems installed in these large places of business, especially malls. Having talked to a guy who has been doing heating/cooling for decades in my office today, it would be quite the investment...What he is asking is different then installing a new air filter.
  15. Cuomo wants to run for president soon. He's making this extremely political. First he said it was all about flattening the curve. We've done that already. There are only 226 people in the ICU in the entire state right now. Now he wants to make movie threatres, gyms, sporting venues upgrade there AC units to be able to better filtrate the air inside these places? He just placed the entire state on lockdown for nearly 4 months. Does he honestly think these places have the money to do this? After a successful vaccine is found it takes upwards of 6 months to even get enough doses to give to everyone in the country to have any type of success. Does that mean we are another full year away from fully opening without restrictions?
  16. Seroconversion of a city: Longitudinal monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in New York City By conducting a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis of SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in a sentinel group (enriched for SARS-CoV-2 infections) and a screening group (representative of the general population) using >5,000 plasma samples from patients at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City (NYC), we identified seropositive samples as early as in the week ending February 23, 2020. A stark increase in seropositivity in the sentinel group started the week ending March 22 and in the screening group in the week ending March 29. By the week ending April 19, the seroprevalence in the screening group reached 19.3%, which is well below the estimated 67% needed to achieve community immunity to SARS-CoV-2. These data potentially suggest an earlier than previously documented introduction of SARS-CoV-2 into the NYC metropolitan area.
  17. It's a failed attempt at trolling as most people here enjoy the changing temps in fall including myself.
  18. It looks to be the strongest heat wave in years. I really wish I got AC installed earlier.
  19. I got an antibody test today as I was around someone for a few days that got the virus back in March. It was free and I was curious. It's a 5 second blood tests at Quest.
  20. Looks like the hub cities for NHL are Edmonton for the western conference and Toronto for the eastern conference.
  21. I have no issue wearing a mask. I wear one everywhere I go. I also wear one all day at work. I'm just talking about scientists being incorrect, and it isn't infrequently.
