    Pouring rain in Garwood right now!

    1.77" here in Tremley Point in Linden NJ - almost the same...

    If I remember correctly, Newark Airport weather station is over grass. Central Park is okay for temperature readings, but it shouldn't be under a tree.

    Do they sell thermometers that can be calibrated? I know where I work we compare a thermometer for regulatory purposes, we compare the readings to a NIST thermometer and deduct or add the difference.

    So is the United Nations' report that this was the hottest summer for the history of humanity correct? If this discussion is on another part of the forum, please let me know.

    It would be hard to believe if this held true this far out?

    and no T-storms on the map...

    Is there some sort of atmospheric "Conservation of Energy" when there are two hurricanes in relative close proximity, sort of like when you have two low pressure systems?

    Then why do we use record high and low temperatures all the way back to the 1800s?

    Then why do we use daily high and low temperatures from the 1800s?

    But Home Depot does!

    I take it the Saharan dust had no effect on the western atlantic/gulf water temperatures?
  13. Dark Star
    I do occasionally witness it.

    I wonder if it could be jet fuel residue? The rumor I heard is that planes dump excess fuel before landing, just in case there is a problem.

    Originally, "they" said there were no known predators. Now I am hearing that birds, as well as preying mantis feed on them/

    Ditto here in Linden NJ

    Kudos to those who stuck to their forecast of little support nearer the coast. The "thing" just died.

    Newark has already hit 90 today.

    Thanks. What time of the year to you go to Iceland and can see the Aurora?

    I take it no Aurora Borealis in the lower 48 this past week?

    Something worth considering, but there is no moratorium on building new facilities. They had become very expensive to operate and still no actual place for long tern storage of the spent fuel. I think Yucca mountain is still not open? Then how does one transport nuclear waste across the country? Truck, rail, plane? What about Right To Know when transporting it? Seems like an easy target for demented terrorists...

    Not sure if there have been in depth studies on renewables (i.e. Environmental Impact Studies)? If this were 20 years ago, environmentalists would be protesting alongside the wind turbines for killing the oodles of birds including eagles! How about the mining of the elements needed for car batteries? What happens to the wind turbine fields after their lifespan is over? We thought dams were clean energy, but now we are decomissioning a lot of them. Something to ponder. Proceed, but perhaps not with reckless abandon?

    Despite the lower temperature this morning, the air was difficult to breathe with all the humidity.
  24. Dark Star
    After all that, less than 0.25" in Garwood NJ???
  25. Dark Star
    at least right now we got some Sahara dust over the Atlantic...
