  1. The US Government is "re-evaluating" past documents to "reflect reality" on climate change. To me this is them putting in rigged data, to support the coal, and oil industries. This document is being re-done by someone from the fossil fuel industry. I don't want to get too political here, but what the hell?
  2. Gorgeous here in Riverdale, NJ as well. Spend 2.5 hours pool side this AM. May go again later this afternoon. Definitely will be there again tomorrow AM.
  3. I like the modular nuclear plants that are being developed right now. Much lower costs that conventional nuclear power plants. Plus we have people working on nuclear fusion. It might not be cold fusion, but magnetic bottles, and "hot" fusion are in our grasp.
  4. There was also the Great Smog of London in December 1952. Lasted 5 days until the winds changed directions. Estimated over 12k were killed, tens of thousands more sickened. This led to environmental legislation since 1952, such as the City of London (Various Powers) Act 1954 and the Clean Air Acts of 1956, 1968.
  5. By me in NJ there is a quarry, which has blasts from time to time. So if it is during the day time I have to ask, "quarry blast, or earthquake?"
  6. 2 fish storms, possibly 3, depending on how close to shore the one off the SE coast forms, if it forms.
  7. It is a "get away" day game. Both teams are traveling after the game. And ban day games? Chicago cubs still draw big crowds for their day games. They still have those, even with the lights installed.
  8. Ground stops at JFK, LGA and EWR due to rain, lightning. C, B lines suspended. Q part suspended, A,E,D, F,M "severe delays". N,R,W are experiencing delays. Rest of the subways are on or close to schedule. Oyster Bay, Montauk LIRR lines are experiencing delays. As noted above Port Washington line suspended due to flooding.
  9. Temps dropped here with the rain. Only 75 by me. Will the rain let up enough to complete the game in the Bronx, or will they have to call it after 4 and a half innings?
  10. Temps as of 11am by me are at 92. DP 71. Already very gross outside. Wish I could just jump in the pool and chill there.
  11. Temp 93, DP 68. That is pretty damn uncomfortable to me.
  12. That is going away starting tomorrow, in to mid next week right?
  13. My deepest sympathies to you and your entire family.
  14. Isn't this more of a landspout, than a tornado, since it is not associated with convective activity?
  15. Brief spritz here in Riverdale, NJ. This AM was gorgeous. Spent time by the pool for a couple of hours. Was hoping to get more time this afternoon, but the weather did not cooperate. Tomorrow will be poolside for sure.
  16. Dew point today around 55, makes it feel a lot more comfortable outside today. Temps right now around 77. Still holding out hope that the weather for tomorrow during the day, and Sunday day time is nice enough that I can sit pool side.
  17. Only 76 here right now, but the sun is breaking out from the previously cloudy skies. I expect to see a pop in temps soon, between the sun, and the WSW winds.
  18. I got a dwarf tomato plant, as I no longer have a back yard, just a balcony. Not too many tomatoes/flowers on the plant. Also there were some that looked ripe on the outside, a nice deep red, but when I sliced them open, they were still green on the inside. Very frustrating.
