  1. 76/71. My PWS may be a hair dewy but not by much if POU is at 70 and SWF 72. Gross!
  2. From the "it could be worse" files, 97F in Montreal.
  3. But yeah, I'm installing today. This sucks.
  4. I was talking to my dad on the phone yesterday and complaining about how the heat was making yard and housework so strenuous. "What are you talking about, this weather is beautiful!", he said from his air conditioned office where he arrived in the pre-dawn and spent the rest of the day...
  5. I know almost nothing of the Whites except for the stuff that my photography friends post. Biggest criteria are mountain views, no major population centers due south (Milky Way) or due north (auroras), good radiating track record, and no blatant snow hole. That last criterion is probably the most flexible... as long as it's wintry, who can tell the difference between 80" and 120" over 7 months?
  6. Yup. The mountains are calling and we must go.
  7. Well I hope you all enjoyed your 30 hours of spring between frost yesterday morning and 80s with dews now. It's always such an idyllic season, but time to move on at long last.
  8. The HV has nearly twice the relative available ICU capacity of the other two redlit regions. It's a different ballgame once you leave the boroughs. Not sure why that isn't being recognized.
  9. 32 here. Plants are clearly not amused but should be ok. It was still dropping pretty steadily right up until after 6 am, so if sunrise were even 20 minutes later, probably a much more disappointing result.
  10. Sweet shots! I don't make it down to the Peekskill waterfront as much as I'd like, usually just in winter for eagle watching. Down to 42 already which is a tad nerve-wracking. Sheesh.
  11. 71/37, good stuff. Low this morning was 38... hopefully we don't try to challenge that tonight. Could maybe get dicey in sheltered spots.
  12. Nice shelf but it went a bit north of me. I think it was on its last legs from how outflow-dominated it was.
  13. This being 2020, can you really blame it?
  14. From hard freeze to dew fest in 27 hours, gotta love it. I think I'm gonna hold off on planting until tomorrow, juuuust in case today follows in the footsteps of 2018
  15. That's incredible. I "only" had a little over 13" here and things still flooded that I didn't think could flood.
  16. Yeah, I think you're right. I wasn't really sure what these little farm pond dams were supposed to look like, but it was likely along these lines now that I do a little digging. That's pretty neat! Lots of history in that area. Was that the October '05 flood courtesy of TS Tammy and an unnamed subtropical depression?
  17. I spent the afternoon finally clearing the bramble and brush around the fabled dam. This structure has certainly seen better days. I would have no idea how to even start thinking about building this back up. Was the dam once as high as the concrete abutment on the right? Why did some chunks of masonry migrate back into the pond and others tumble down the spillway? What I wouldn't give to see a photo of this setup when it was still standing...
  18. We have one more reinforcing cold shot. Tuesday morning freezes for many, Wednesday morning for most, and then I'm declaring growing season officially open.
  19. One of the few things that everyone on the boards agrees on. Love to see it.
  20. 184 days between my first (Nov 7) and presumed last (May 9) measurable snowfall of the season here. Would have been nice to notch October in there, but I can live with a seven-month winter.
  21. I wouldn't total another truck to experience hail like that again, but I'll admit it was a thrill.
  22. Just had a mighty gust from the NW and then precip flipped to snow like a switch. Incredible.
  23. Yeah, this is the case for me as well I believe. Though if I'd seen a stray flake at some point in like 2002 I'm not so sure I'd remember. Remarkably, one week from today is the 2nd anniversary of the worst severe wx day in the modern history of the HV. I love living in the mid-latitudes! Still 39F here with a light SE flow, though the fropa is just minutes away per radar.
  24. The hi-res models still look good for a coupletwothree hours of post-frontal snow starting between 10 and 11. I'll stay up for it.
