The treetops look like they are at a similar height to the anemometer. So they could also be serving as a barrier in front of the equipment to lessen the winds.

The trees were much lower in 1974 when the record 78 mph gust occurred. That was the strongest Nor’easter of the early 1970s. The winds were very loud in Long Beach with extensive coastal flooding. 

My elementary school in the LB West End still had water in the street from the tidal surge when the ocean met the bay in spots earlier that day. Plenty of sand and big puddles in the streets around my school. It was a really cool school bus ride that morning seeing all the sand and water still on West Park ave. 

If that's the same one I remember around then we had deep standing water for a day or three in central Oceanside. I remember it because I had to repack the hubs on my bike from riding through it, back and forth, over and over..., when it was that deep.

Looks like the Ithaca area got hammered and Kingston is getting it right now. Rhinebeck is gonna get it good in a few minutes.

1.9 so far

These developments provide good examples of how the dense foliage has changed the relationship of Central Park relative to the City's other locations and Newark. The problem is cited in the NOAA's inventory of stations. Unfortunately, the problem is not addressed. Thus, Central Park becomes less representative of the City's actual climate and, instead, an experiment that demonstrates the cooling impact of trees. 

Well, since nearly all other climate experiments and research has been squashed we should be happy ours will be ignored and be more likely to continue unimpeded. 

Over the last few days I set up a drip irrigation system for the garden because we'll be out of town for a week. Now we're out and it feels weird to be turning it on when I'm 4 hours away. I sure hope the critters didn't mess with it too much and the water is going where it's supposed to. 

Nice little round of moderately heavy rain passing thru. 

A little rain this morning was nice. Cool, cloudy and windy feels good after the last few days.

Where's @forkyfork? I thought he liked this garbage 

"... odd man dancing around in a bathing suit last seen spinning across the park..." 

91/79

80/75 with an overnight low of 75°. 

94/82 and a few local stations on westerly aspects of the hills are 98-99/85. My yard faces easterly but open to the west and it's unbearable after a few minutes. 

I think the station a few blocks from me that I usually reference, cooked itself a little while ago. Now I have to drive around and verify a few other sitings as things have grown since I last did it, but the town highway garage a mile away shows 93/81. There are quite a few local stations in the upper 90s and some showing DPs in the upper 80s, the shaded ones are all hovering around 90. 

LB, you've never seen ground haze? Are you just becoming self aware and learning to observe and understand your environment in real time? You should probably refrain from putting your every thought out into the ether...

Every local personal station by me is now over 90/81, the best situated stations are 93-97/81-86 depending on what size of the hill they're on.

Nope, near the top of one of the bigger hills in the area. The closest water is a pond a few blocks away. Currently 93/86 

90/84

I've been trying to get some garden work done but only get a 15-20 minutes at a time before needing a cool down session inside. Yuck.

.17 Cloud deck is thinning now, wind is down and the temp is heading up.

That thing is really firing on all cylinders in central NY

As it rolled off the 'Daks it put a hurt on Rome and that region early this morning. 

So, are we gonna get wet tonight or tomorrow?

were you living down here back then? I remember you said you lived on Long Island growing up I think.

Yup, a block off Oceanside Road.

I remember Agnes. She messed up the end of my first grade school year.

Total since the 16th is a whopping .6  Not like it's needed because everything is plenty soggy but I feel like I got cheated. 

Sun is gone, feels like storms trying to come in. I can see them just north of me.

Pretty much, yeah. But, my indeterminate string beans and tomatoes are growing 8-12" a day so I guess that's not bad.
