Happy Met Summer.

I picked up my plants but they are sitting in a sunny window inside at the moment. Will give it one more week but they should be fine. Overnight lows don't look to go below 50 too much more for me and that is a good benchmark.

“Nobody” might be a bit of an exaggeration.

Man. Didn't you just take vacation to Florida like a month ago? I would assume Florida to be the last place we'd find you.

Sleet in Seaford. 44. April is dead to me. Wake me up in June

Honestly I never heard of them until I moved to my current place which is right across the street from a small nature preserve.

I’ve heard them here for the past three weeks. They are like the first sign of spring.

53 now. Topped out at 63. Pretty nice for the south shore this time of year. Great example of the temp differences on wundermap. 49 right on the water at jones beach. 71 near Elizabeth NJ.

Curious to know if you see an increase in spider crickets this summer up there. We had them here on the south shore and it went from basically never seeing them, to having them everywhere in just a few seasons. Everyone started buying the glue traps and you would catch like 20-30 of them a week in each trap. Then last year the population dropped way down again. As far as mosquitos they are terrible in my yard every year. And I have Asia tiger mosquitos. They are brutal and bite all day long. I had tried the propane trap but didn’t have much success. Last year I finally gave in and had the yard sprayed. That’s about the only thing that works. It had gotten to the point where I couldn’t even take the garbage to the curb without getting bit.

Yeah. The sun wouldn’t crack the horizon until 8AM or later for all of December and January

Had dinner in LB tonight with some friends and then took a look at the beach. The dune is not really that high, but the depth of the beach itself was really expanded out into the ocean. It’s more like jones beach now.

51 here. No wind. Sun feels pretty good

Wow. Can’t beleive we don’t have anyone left in Long Beach. I haven’t seen the new dunes first hand but from that picture they really don’t look too high or wide. Hopefully the widening of the overall beach will help. Otherwise I could see that dune being breached during big storms and water getting stuck between the dune and the boardwalk.

Blah. Well at least we seem to make up for it with September more and more resembling a summer month.

Fat flakes with some pingers mixed in now. 33.1/30.0

Back home in Seaford just North of Sunrise hwy. It’s now a solid white rain but I can see it starting to stick on the colder surfaces.

In massapequa tonight right near the bay- it’s just regular rain here.

Gust of wind caught the screen door out my back porch and tore it right out of the frame. Thing was probably 40 years old anyway, but damn.

Costco has the Tommy Bahama beach chairs out. Summer around the corner.

So who's moving to the Sierra Nevada? Western Plumas County/Lassen Park- West Slope Northern Sierra Nevada- 300 AM PST Thu Feb 14 2019 ...WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 AM PST SATURDAY... WHAT...Moderate to heavy rain this morning with heavy snow accumulation limited to the higher peaks. Heavy snow returns to the pass levels around midday with snow levels lowering below 3500 feet tonight. Travel will be very difficult to impossible. Damage to trees and power lines is possible. Additional snow accumulations of 3 to 5 feet above 3500 feet, with local accumulations of 7 to 8 feet, are expected.

Total bummer about your collar bone. Ironically my sister broke her collar bone at Stratton (assuming that’s where you were) many years ago. My sister also happened to be skiing at Sunday river last weekend during the snowstorm. Said it was epic, of course.

My station refreshes every 15 seconds. There was a period of time this afternoon around 4PM when I was dropping a tenth of a degree with nearly every refresh.

19 now after a high of 50 this afternoon. A 31 degree drop in about 6 hours.

34 now after a high of 50 less than 3 hours ago. I am watching the tenths of degress tick down on station every 30 seconds at this point.

Just reading the discussion out of the NWS in Maine and they would agree. No models really reliable. Update...For starters the only model performing even close to observed 2 m temps is the HRRR...so any adjustments were just about solely HRRR based. Largest pressure falls are occurring over the elbow of the Cape. With low pressure trying to squeeze in that direction now...cold temps will lock in place. I do not expect anyone to rise above freezing today...which at least eliminates one ptype.
