  1. No one ever references dewpoints when talking about hot temps. They reference 90 degree temps like you said. Plus we will probably switch to wbgt within a few years which measures real feel much much better than the outdated method now. Kind of how they switched wind chill measurements in 2001. 93
  2. People that want to dim the sun should like the smoke, but yet all they do is complain about it. Frauds
  3. Obsessed with him. You would think he posted here or something by the amount of times you bring him up. His x posts get like 3 likes and zero replies. He's pretty much irrelevant, except to you
  4. I've had it for 5 years and dont remember. I know its connected to my internet, but there is a battery backup on the display. I just wasnt sure if it loses signal, once it gets back online, if it adjusts and updates on my app. It looks like the 3 stations on my street all got around .45" so maybe it does update
  5. What did you get? Im on vacation and lost power at my house, so my ambient station lost about 5 minutes of rain before the generator kicked on and the internet reconnected. I think I had around .50" though
  6. 25000 people lived in Newark back in 1845 compared to over 310k now. Doesn't even compare.
  7. For me, in winter, I'm looking for snow and just cold enough (which 9x out of 10 that is what happens when it snows here. Super cold snowstorms are always rare in the NJ/NYC area). Whether it melts or not, it doesn't matter too much to me. 02/03 I had 53", 20/21 I had 51", so I'm pretty confident that we will still get big snow winters, which I think we all are yearning for anyway.
  8. Shows how sharp cutoffs can be in this area. I live pretty much dead even between NYC and Philly, and that same 7 year average here is 22.375" or pretty much 8" more than NYC and JFK. My worst stretch here was 96/97 through 01/02 (6 years), the average was only 17.3". 8 out of the 10 years in the 90s were complete trash as well. Those 8 years averaged only 17", but 93/94 and 95/96 bumped the decade average up to 27" since those 2 were amazing winters. 08/09-14/15 averaged 41.6", which is my best stretch here. Way too many sweeping generalizations get posted in here.
  9. All of this could have been summed up by saying giving a timetable to the question would have been better for the poll.
  10. If I get lucky and get a 50" winter this season, I would be at exactly normal snow for the decade. Right now I'm averaging 4" below normal from Dec 2020-now
  11. I took the question as gradual. If it is gradual, we will adapt just fine. History already showed that.
  12. Yeah, I never turn mine off. If the house cools off, the a/c unit won't click on.
  13. None. If there is a record high temp in bumble Montana, we will 100% see a post in the NY forum about it. A few record lows last night across NE, silence. Zero chance this guy would have been too cold.
  14. 59 this morning. I see there were a few record lows in New England. Nice. San Francisco isn’t expected to hit 70°F again this July. If that holds, it’ll tie the all-time record: just two days above 70°F in June and July, the fewest since records began in 1874
  15. Yeah, I like those too. I have an ambient which I like and has been good to me for 5 years now. I just hate having to choose between getting better accuracy for wind vs temp with where you need to mount them. I went with wind since mounted wireless anemometers are more $$ than wireless thermometers.
  16. That is the main problem with a lot of these stations that are affordable. They are an all-in-one. I was able to get my station on to my roof which is at the acceptable height for winds (and on a pole so that the house doesn't block it), but then the temps are messed up. I figured it was easier to get a smaller station for more accurate temps vs getting something only for winds. Who knows. Looks good though!
  17. i agree. we had a few legit cold shots for NJ. The -8 I had one morning is one of the coldest I remember in my 47 years in the central nj area. we have moving 30 year averages for a reason. i feel like when people talk about the "old days" is similar to al bundy's talking about his 4 td game at polk high. move on, we all know about the warming already.
  18. It was cold enough to squeeze out around 30 snowcover days out of 19" of total snow and to actually freeze decent sized NJ lakes for weeks. Even though not snowy, it felt like winter in this area (maybe not NYC since it is always warmer and snow melts and turns black in hours there) which is more than you can say about several prior winters.
