Ha-ha-ha. I put one of my french doors outside to dry after I pre-sanded and cleaned it. I am using one week vacation. The wind blew it down to the ground. Miraculously, the windows didn't crack, but now there are some pretty deep gouges. Didn't tell my wife yet. Within less than an hour, the winds really cranked...

Extended summer stormlover74 future snow hole banter thread 23
Dark Star replied to BxEngine's topic in New York City Metro
and yet Channel 11 "News" had a "Shark Expert" saying that there were not a lot of sharks, at least close to shore. The "expert" was all over the place, contradicting himself left and right. When asked why the variability in sharks numbers near the beaches, he said he doesn't know, but there is a good reason and someday they will find out. Then he said that sharks are not interested in humans, and the next sentence said if there is a shark near the beach to clear the water... -
Was it Tex Antoine that said, " The forecast was right, the weather was wrong"...
-
Not a one, and this was supposed to be one of those years?

Looks like it's over in Garwood, central Union County, NJ...
-
Got a tiny bit in Garwood, but yes, this week's forecast from Tuesday eve on was a total miss...

Sorry, the offiical forecast did not call for spotty isolated showers, and all the maps and projections on this site also showed a rather wet week. -

Showery weather all week, beginning Tuesday evening hardly nails it... -

T'was pretty much a blown forecast for this week. -
I wonder if all stations tied into on line accessible reporting have thermometers that can be calibrated? Are there any "remote" sensors designed for households that come with thermometers that can be calibrated?
-
Just another example of 4-7 day models not getting it right
-
Maybe because the heat index (real feel) is talked about too much? I would prefer less emphasis be put on "real feel" temps, even though there might be actual health risks involved. Too many people hear wind chill of 10 degrees, and think that is the actual temperature.
-
That would be hard not to argue...
-
0.84" here in the Tremley Point section of Linden, NJ.

I wonder who is going to be right, StormWeather74 & All Snow or the Wx Channel Future Radar?
-
Dunno, I know the ocean can be dangerous, but there is something to be said for self reliance. You have to be aware and respect the power. It would be a shame to close the beaches because there were not enough lifeguards. However, we live in a very litigious area...
-
75/71 and the heat index is only 76? I cry Shenanigans!

Another piece of me just died...

Newark is usually the hot spot, but not usually too far off from where I live in central Union County NJ, maybe 1-2 degrees warmer, but the Central Park temps are not representative of anything.
-
So this proves that the NWS Central Park temperature measurements are not representing what was intended? Obvioulsy you can't "move" the location, but they better modify it soon. Why are they so stubborn?
-
I did notice that, after I tripled checked the page. Thanks. I don't think I ever notice that column before. Maybe because I was never looking?
-
The NWS hourly history chart.
-
My mistake. I know Weather Underground was reporting temps in the low 90's in Jersey, but the NWS hourly temps only indicated 90 degreess at Newark. I guess it didn't average out to 92 for the hour?
-
I have seen the endless threads about the Central Park weather station, placed under a canopy, as well as the pathetic snow measurements...
-
I must rally be losing all the rest of my memory. I know Newark's temperatues are a "few" degrees warmer than NYC, but they are generally close. Yes, NYC is closer to the ocean, but if Newark is in a heatwave, NYC is almost always in a heat wave. Has something changed, or is it just that June can be an "unusual" month because the ocean temperatures are still cool, that this is an extremely specific sea breeze effect? Again, if NYC gets ocean cooling, it normally reaches Newark?
