  1. I am going with the trend is your friend. The trend has been no snow for NYC and points east. I say no snow for the Tuesday event, other than maybe a coating, for NYC.
  2. I buy the Old Farmer's Almanac yearly. Mainly for the articles on gardening, etc. Some really interesting stuff in there. I treat the weather prediction part as entertainment. Fun to see how wrong they are, then follow up the following year when they claim an "80% accuracy".
  3. I went out without a jacket. You must be affected by the colder, winter temps than me. Temps in 50s don't seem too bad to me. But then again, if temps get in to mid 60s I probably will be wearing shorts.
  4. Yeah that pretty much answers my question. Oys
  5. More coastal flooding, plus flash flooding out of this system? The ground right now is absolutely saturated.
  6. 4 feet on the BQE? Yikes. The rain fall rates right now must be incredible. I don't think we will break the all time record for rain for the month of September with this system, plus the 8"+ we had before it. But we probably will hit the 2nd most for the month.
  7. That is some pretty hefty rain fall, just thru noon. And it is supposed to go another 18 hours after that, with varying intensity obviously, right?
  8. Central park has seen 8"+ so far in September. Monthly record is something like 16.85" in I believe 1882. Do we have a shot at breaking that record with all the precip that is headed our way tonight, tomorrow, and in to Saturday AM?
  9. Is the prevailing thought that Ophelia will be downgraded on the next advisory? Ophelia has been a huge rainmaker up and down the coast. But it doesn't look like the wind was a major factor for the most part.
  10. Winds still at 70mph 11:00 PM EDT Fri Sep 22Location: 33.6°N 76.8°WMoving: NNW at 12 mphMin pressure: 984 mbMax sustained: 70 mph
  11. No change on the 8pm advisory. 8:00 PM EDT Fri Sep 22Location: 33.3°N 76.6°WMoving: NNW at 12 mphMin pressure: 984 mbMax sustained: 70 mph
  12. Ophelia is right over the gulf stream right now. Water will not get any warmer than that for this time of year for where it is at.
  13. Is Lee already losing its tropical characteristics? I didn't think this would happen until it got further north.
  14. Water vapor loop. Looks like Lee has some dry air entrained, and the eye has opened up. Lee no longer a major hurricane, it is a CAT 2 with 105mph top measured winds. Pressure still around that 950-952mb mark, but it is spreading out getting larger, causing less of a pressure gradient, and winds dropping a bit. Still very dangerous.
