  1. A repeat of 2 weeks ago Initial forecasts for a wet week, then essentially just a few scattered showers?
  2. I wasn't too crazy about it. Then again, I feel that way about most entertainment media...
  3. skeptical, since we saw a similar pattern disappear 2 weeks ago...
  4. Amazing. Newark usually is one of the "hot spots" but it is east enough for sea breeze effects.
  5. Is that just do to a cyclical lull, or did the recent Saharn dust play a role?
  6. Conspiracy theories anyone?
  7. I was amazed that meteors can cause a loud rumble. I was outside when the meteor passed overhead. I originally thought it was some type of military maneuver...
  8. 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...
  9. 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...
  10. Was it Tex Antoine that said, " The forecast was right, the weather was wrong"...
  11. Not a one, and this was supposed to be one of those years?
  12. Looks like it's over in Garwood, central Union County, NJ...
  13. Got a tiny bit in Garwood, but yes, this week's forecast from Tuesday eve on was a total miss...
  14. 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.
  15. 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?
  16. Just another example of 4-7 day models not getting it right
  17. 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.
  18. That would be hard not to argue...
  19. 0.84" here in the Tremley Point section of Linden, NJ.
  20. I wonder who is going to be right, StormWeather74 & All Snow or the Wx Channel Future Radar?
  21. 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...
  22. 75/71 and the heat index is only 76? I cry Shenanigans!
  23. Another piece of me just died...
