  1. After all that, less than 0.25" in Garwood NJ???
  2. at least right now we got some Sahara dust over the Atlantic...
  3. As said before, both "summers" are correct. While the past few years September has shown to be warm, I used to notice that when Labor Day hit, the temperatures would drop noticeably. And from my school days in the 1960s and 70s, I remember sweating in the classroom (and not just because I was not good in math).
  4. It's not the parents, I've tried and failed. There is something in the water. They are almost all like that...
  5. Yes. Which goes back to the old debate about using the most recent 20 or 30 years for "averages" but using all of recording history for the "records".
  6. It would be nice to have a near normal summer, temperature wise, but we have seen above normal temperatures for many moons, so I expect the seasonable weather not to last? Yes, I know persistence is the weakest of forecasting tools.
  7. Not in Garwood, NJ. It was gnat city late yesterday afternoon.
  8. Seems to be coming in waves?
  9. It's really hard to bet against the trends of warmer than normal months around here. It would be nice to see the cycle broken.
  10. While "burping" Popocatépetl in Mexico is not expected to have a major eruption? Also, I assume a 20,000 foot high ash cloud is not likely going to affect northern hemispheric temperatures in about 8 months or so (even if it keeps slowly spewing)?
  11. Dunno, but we just went above the predicted high temperature for the day...
  12. Really thought the front might tap into some of the energy from the coastal low, but no dice.
  13. Could be hail? I can see your cloud top from Linden...
  14. I would be amazed if we have any two consecutive months at or below normal (temperature that is).
  15. Seems like the only precip has been stuck in an area 25 miles surrounding the nyc metro, including Garwood NJ, not complaining though. Thought it was going to stop hours ago...
  16. Must be a lot of dry air, radar has had precip over us most of the day?
  17. While arguably some might say that rural areas are becoming increasinly poplulated, which would imply that more tornadoes went unnoticed, wouldn't radar and other damage reports would most likely have detected them anyway? If a tree falls in the forest...
  18. I put a dime that the next 8 days average +2 degrees above average (only based on persistence)
  19. Wow, so that explains why the NYC metro is way ahead of the average global warming rate?
  20. Interesting. This conveys warm water north. One of the theories is that the rapid warming of the ice fields could cool down the northern oceans as the ice melted and be conveyed south, possibly cooling other currents headed south? Or even possibly touching off an ice age?
