I wouldn't put Ocean County, Pike, Sussex, or Orange, Putnam, Ulster Dutchess, or Litchfield Counties in NYC metro area for forecasting purposes (especially in winter).- 511 replies

Some models called for the bullseye of the precipitation to be over NYC metro area, others called for it to be north of the area. Models that called for the heaviest totals north of the area look like may be correct, while the other models will not. In the winter, us Snow Geese would call this a bust.

Aluminum chairs, don't know if wood would have made a difference???

Finally, a shower here in Garwood NJ - central Union County. Slight bit o thunder. No rain all weekend.

Central Union County in NJ hasn't received any rain either. Radar looks strange, with rain cells moving west from the coast, and east along the western Jersey border.

I was tracking winds during Sandy and they began falling as it approached. However, that turn inland brought with it the storm surge, which unfortunately does not dissipate as rapidly as the winds do. So it will depend on which side of the "remnants" of the storm that you are on

Looks like it is being pulled west?

Of course, we go back to the Central Park monitoring station. Seems the government never wants to listen...
-
So it's a people management issue. However, you don't want the government deciding on how to do that...

I've been preaching since the 1970's that the population increase will eventually doom the planet. It seems the Europeans are the only ones with zero to negative population growth (not accounting for immigration).

I am okay with no subforum for Union/Essex counties in NJ, even though I live in Union County. I think this area is well represented under the NYC forum.

This sounds political to me.

Hey, I'm one of those freaks...

Where the @%$$!!! are the Cicadas? By the way, looks like some showers working their way down from Summit towards Cranford and maybe Westfield NJ?
-
My neighbor has a fire going...which is okay if you live in a more rural area, but when you can spit and hit your neighbor's house, maybe a fire pit is not the most neighborly thing to have?

I would think the heatwave alerts are more geared for health reasons and not meant to be defined for climatology reasons?
-
Hard to decipher the smoke from the smog. Yesterday was supposedly a very bad Ozone day.
-
Most of Newark Airport is paved over in blacktop, one big parking lot. So even if the sensor is in a "shady" area (doubtful) the entire area is a heat sink.

No. Ocean County and the surrounding towns developed their own control programs to help prevent property damage from floods. The money came from the federal government, but not through Blue Acres. They bought up quite a few properties in the Good Luck Point area in Bayville which were utterly devastated. Amazingly, I watched the winds reduce along the Jersey shore before Sandy hit. Unfortunately, the surge was not affected.
-
At least extreme coastal areas will be affected. The state, through federal grants, bought my property where my house once stood on Barnegat Bay. While I don't attribute Sandy to global warming, the coastal water levels will rise. Luckily I'll be dead by then...

Too many Canadians...

Is there any appreciable dew expected early tomorrow morning?
-
Too much rain - global warming. Too little rain - global warming...

Saw what could have been a very narrow, cone shaped rain shaft? Any sightings of a tornado what appears to be around Newark, from my vantage point in Garwood (central Union County NJ)? I took some video, but it is not very discernible. Looked like it became two vortices? Again, I could be greatly mistaken.
