  1. Not that I should speak on how to dress, I claim that plaid below the waist (at least for men) is a fashion faux pas...
  2. That's for sure. Reseeded twice, the first time right before the semi rainy week about a month ago, and basically nothing germinating, watered every day, starter fertilizer, covered with enriched topsoil, nuthin. Did get some nice spurge, even though I used crabgrass preventer as soon as the forsynthias started to bloom, and then about a month after that. I beginning to believe sometimes these products are not quite legit?
  3. Luckily, we don't get "real" droughts around here. The worst it has gotten is that they issue "Don't water your lawn (except if you contract a landscaper). I mean, how do you enforce that sort of edict? You can't.
  4. So if the US net emissions have been reduced. China is the culprit? Further US reductions would not have much of an effect until China climbs on board?
  5. Cold air was in hiding last winter as well...
  6. Like many times, a line dries up right before Northeast Jersey, and then reforms once it goes by...
  7. Very light drizzle in Garwood, central Union County NJ.
  8. Drizzling here again in Garwood, central Union County NJ
  9. Is it me, or are the forecasts changing every 12 hours?
  10. In this case, persistence is just as reliable as any other type of forecasting. Also, we all seem to define winter differently? For me, WINTER is defined as an extended period of nights below freezing, some local ponds freeze, and if we are lucky, a few nice snows. Had we squeezed in one or two, separate, foot or more snowstorms the last few years, I wouldn't consider that WINTER. (I know, my grammar is failing)...
  11. It's always possible, but unlikely until we see this nightmare of a Pacific Jet end. Again, I wish that NJ would make weather gambling legal...
  12. I wonder if this was due to the somewhat recent Saharan dust or the cold water pool in the tropical Atlantic?
  13. Every week, in fact I think the upcoming winter is doomed...
  14. Wish I had a whole house fan. Those things draw in cooler air in a heartbeat.
  15. -4 for the 20 year average, but maybe still above normal compared to the total historical average?
  16. Threw an extra blanket on the bed, just in case, but did not need it. Probably too much heat still trapped in the house...
  17. Looking for some rain total confirmations for Springfield NJ. NWS listed a report of around 4.5". Newark recorded a little over an inch, and I live about 2 miles from Springfield NJ, and I could not have gotten any more than Newark. I understand differences due to convection, but this is pretty extreme...
