Not the slightest hint of Aurora borealis here.

68/39 split today. Nice for November.

35 here.

Getting breaks of sun at ISP, feels warm.

37 this morning. 67 this afternoon.

Tropical plants still outdoors. No issues.

1.13” event total.

Clearing out today was a nice surprise, first Saturday in ages where I saw the blue sky, even though the sun was setting.

The sky looks rather ominous in Long Island City.

0.25”, waste of a Saturday.

Tbh I don’t know how anyone remembers the dates of these storms, however I definitely remember “Nemo” happening as well as the naming controversy.

Low of 41 here. Fake cold.

0.15” of nuisance rain.

Not a drop here, low 70’s despite the clouds.

73 under smoky skies.

Event total of 1.94” and very slowly counting.

Pouring here finally with the firehose. And it’s still not making quick headway east. 

It’ll make it here by 8 PM at the rate it’s going.

Bone dry for the last 5 hours, total still 0.85”.

Sun fighting to come out at times in Centereach. I’ve seen multiple accidents and it hasn’t rained in hours, like wtf, I hate days like this.

Only 0.80” here in Central Suffolk.

.60” here, nothing especially heavy yet, highest rate today still well under an inch per hour.

2.36” final total? Idk, every time I think it’s ending it starts raining again. I can’t take anymore blowing mist.

0.42”, more sideways blowing mist than rain today.

0.22” so far, falling sideways.

Picked up about 1.50”, half of which came from slow moving tiny cells that popped up well after the main batch earlier.

I’ve seen entire stands of pines just outright dead, where the only thing green are any oaks that may be present, this is especially true around OKX/Brookhaven National Lab where I’ve seen them being cut down. I’m sure all the dead wood is just enhancing the risk of wildfires, these extended dry periods aren’t any help.

Pretty much every native pine here is a preferred host for the Southern Pine Beetle unfortunately, it makes sense given these trees are native to the South as well. The Shortleaf Pine, a mostly southern species that’s nearly extirpated from Long Island, has been decimated by the Southern Pine Beetle in parts of the South.

The desertification of Suffolk County.

My lightning notifications are going crazy, feels like the weather version of store locators that include Connecticut in the results as if it’s down the street.

90/75 today. DP hit 81.
