NJ Transit trains suspended due to power outages related to the heat. I'm not sure I heard of that before.

Bet we got 2 inches here min mid westchester

Agree somewhat on this. They don't seem too efficient when it's below 32 outside and they will kick on and off in search of heat. Cooling seems to work well up into the 90s and the dehumidify capability is out of this world which was a big plus.

Try home depot. I got a 36K BTU total unit (carrier) with 2 heads installed for $10K, and it does the whole 2K square feet of my house, heat and cooling. HD had the best warranty. The independent contractor I spoke to quoted $19K which was a BS quote soon as he opened his mouth. Also that quote was for 3 heads, which I knew I did not need.

Posts crossed.

Just hit us here HPN. Quick heavy burst and mellowed out a little. Got some lightening and thunder. Decent show.

The Go F*ck your Self. (something like that).

you won't regret it! What sold me was that I saw them all over China and other hot AF places in Asia. It was a billion degrees kelvin and super humidity everywhere, and those units were relied on ubiquitously. Figured they must know something.

I don't hear mine at all. Only if the fan is on BOOST, and it's just the whoosh of air. We still have a window unit in a far-flung room of the upstairs, and when that compressor kicks on, you can feel the vibration propagate through the walls. It's got a resonance. Stick frame house, but any material can do that. Tell you another thing - our wall mounted units (same as window ones basically) also had mold growth we didn't notice until removal. Can't be good. I don't think I paid much mind to the heating aspect when I bought it. But boy that was a pleasant surprise. It's not going to be too efficient below 25 degrees or so, but for quickly heating up a house or shoulder seasons, it's perfect. I heat mostly with pellets when cold, but between those 2 things, I used less than 1/4 tank of oil all year. It wasn't cold, but that is same ratio as other winters.

You installers should consider mini splits. I had window and wall mount ACs in my older home which is steam heat, no ducting. 3 yrs ago I installed 1 mini split with 2 heads and I will never look back at windows again. How many heads you need is going to vary house to house of course. I had mine installed professionally (huge BTU unit), but you can buy DIY kits and it doesn't seem too hard for a middle of the roader handyman. I could have done a small single head. I spend about 20% less for cooling season, but the house is way more comfortable. Those things dehumidify especially well. They also heat - shoulder season it's cheaper than oil for sure. I also recommend an electric heat pump water heater if you need to replace an electric one and you don't have gas. Keeps my basement cool and dry all year, and cheap hot water to boot!

I was 5 at the time, and 80 miles west of there. Could have seen snow then just don't recall.

Snowed at my house on the 9th/10th in Westchester. Walked my dog in the woods with leaf out and snowfall. I don't think I've ever seen May snow, even living Upstate NY for 22 years.

What's up with this volcano in Indonesia? It has a 70K feet ash plume which is high enough, and the thing is equatorial, so those 2 are ingredients for weather impacts, no?

The next time it snows over and under as well

clouds kinda skunking it up here in midtown. It's dark out which is cool, but I can't see the thing through the special glasses I got. I did get to see some of it earlier.

My buddy in manhattan said the glasses in his cabinet were lightly toasting each other…lol

Appreciate you. Really.

Thats where my head is. I know nothing about this stuff at all but I can’t be talked out of it.

This sucks.

Wtf.

We will be in once this swarm of earthquakes pass.

Nerds know nerdy things, other than that, no.

Just got hit right now with another shake. I’d say that was half of the impact as the one earlier.

Yeah I know what you mean. Those can be nasty
