  1. A flat black roof? I would imagine the heat to be 10-20 degrees warmer than the grass at ground level.
  2. Tough to say. Newark is all concrete. The Wx Station is in a grassy area, but close enough to the tarmac to pick up the heat. It's just far enough inland not to be affected much from the ocean?
  3. SATURDAY...Mostly cloudy with a 50 percent chance of showers. Highs in the lower 80s. Northeast winds 5 to 10 mph. Yesterday's NWS forecast for today. Pretty awful.
  4. Light showers in Garwood NJ (Central Union County)
  5. Sun angle becoming lower, won't be long now...
  6. Is it possible reconstruct a page which links multiple radar, satellite, temperature, precip maps like you did years ago?
  7. I didn't think the forecasting was that bad in the 1980s.
  8. I just don't see how the trend of the last few years doesn't continue...
  9. There are such devices. A company wanted to build a plant in Linden NJ, collect the CO2, and invite neighboring power plants to collectively pipe the CO2 to underground caverns offshore. Then, Gov. Christie, nixed the deal. Sounded pretty far fetched, but I believe there might be a similar, but smaller scale operation in the North Atlantic, somewhere between the British Iles and Norway?
  10. One reason is the water is too cold for fog...
  11. Graupel in Garwood, N J 20220419_183027.mp4
  12. Had some graupel a little while ago...
  13. If this were winter, I'd be complaining about a bust and another near miss...
  14. It almost appears that simple, however, I would assume our temps are similar to the Delmarva area 20-30 years ago? Yet I would guess the NYC metro area still averaged higher snower amounts that that area?
  15. It has been the federal government's responsibility to store spent nuclear fuel, long term. We know how the federal goverment does things. Still, to this day, the spent waste sits at the site where it was used. I am not anti-nuke, but there is a reason why no new nuclear facilities have been built in the US since the 1980s.
  16. Since 1880 the average global temperature has risen 1.9° Fahrenheit. The majority of the warming has occurred since 1975, at a rate of roughly 0.15 to 0.20°C per decade. I understand the increases are not uniform throughout the globe, but the increases seem to be greater in this area than some? Of course, global warming is supposed to affect the poles at a greater scale.
  17. Where do we store the spent nuclear waste, and how do we get it there? Seems Right To Know would allow transportation of nuclear waste cross country an easy terrorist target?
