U2 actually played the Malibu back in 1981 before they became so famous.

94.3 and 90.7 have been my main radio stations before 92.3 just changed to the new format. Many radio stations get into the repeating songs since that how the modern formats have evolved. There is so much more that can get played but gets left out of the regular playlists these days.

That's a great station. I grew up going to a bunch of concerts in that format when it was still called new wave. The old Malibu nightclub in Lido Beach would host the WLIR concert series. Got to see They Might Be Giants live in that smaller club setting. The bigger shows would play in venues like Jones Beach when the bands got more famous.

I am just happy that NYC finally has an alternative rock format station back on the air. Grew up listening to 92.7 WLIR and WDRE. So this new ALT 92.3 that went on the air friday is a nice surprise.

The Jones Beach barrier island is a fantastic place for nature viewing. In addition to the marine life, there have been numerous rare bird sightings along the strip. Birders flocked from all across the US to see the Corn Crake from Europe that turned up in Cedar Beach. Unfortunately, the little guy didn't make it. http://www.audubon.org/news/birders-drop-everything-behold-rare-corn-crake-turned-new-york

The Bunker commercial fishing restrictions resulted in a big increase in food supply to bring the Humpbacks into our waters.

Yeah, it's more of a DJF Nina temperature gradient out west than what you generally see in November.

Pretty extreme temperature gradient out west for the first half of November. Bozeman, MT...-15.5 Montrose, CO...+6.9

The American Wigeons returned to my local pond last week for the winter.

Some really big weather extremes to start November across the US. In 73 yrs of records at Sea-Tac there has only been 8 days w/highs 43° or less in the 1st week of Nov, 3 of them in the last 3 days. #wawx 6:35 AM - 6 Nov 2017 RECORDS: Officially, 0.4" snowfall at SeaTac today, breaking the old daily record of Trace set in 1973. 5:25 PM - 5 Nov 2017 Since records began in 1898, Dallas-Fort Worth had never hit 90°F in November. Now they've done it on 3 of last 4 days (at least 93F Sun). 2:29 PM - 5 Nov 2017

I agree with you on that. The traffic situation here in Western Suffolk is much better than it was back in Nassau. Queens line to Meadowboook always has the worst traffic on LI. Traffic really improves once you get east of the Meadowbrook.

I guess you don't miss the traffic than you can encounter near that part of the county.

The extended nature of the Arctic outbreak during February 2015 was impressive. And the short but more intense Arctic shot in a sea of warm pattern in February 2016 was remarkable given how warm that winter was. Another noteworthy Arctic outbreak statistic has been the lack of single digit readings in NYC during December since 1989. The December Arctic outbreaks since then have been much less intense.

2pm- D/FW Airport has recorded 90 degrees. This is the first 90 degree temperature recorded at D/FW in the month of November. #dfwwx 12:01 PM - 2 Nov 2017

The seasonal forecast rankings are in. The one common denominator is that the CFS and Euro are better at forecasting the PNA and EPO than the AO and NAO. But the CFS model is actually better than the Euro with its seasonal AO and NAO forecasts. Remember, the ECMWF seasonal is a different forecast system than the EPS which gets extended to weeklies twice a week.

San Diego has gone 4 years without cooler-than-norm month. Last was Oct. 2013. May 2015 was exactly normal, all rest warmer #sandiegoweather 9:06 AM - 1 Nov 2017

Warmest October on record for most of our local stations with LGA tied for warmest. EWR...1...NYC...1...LGA...1...JFK...2...BDR...1...ISP...1

That area is the high pressure record holder for the the US set on 12-24-83. I just remember how cold it was here.

Just an exceptional era of blocking since 2000 both in the North Atlantic and Pacific sectors. The record SST warmth has also helped to provide copious moisture and energy for our winter storms which was lacking in earlier era winters.

Maximization of snowfall potential has been a running theme during the 2000's. JFK only had 40 days with below normal temperatures the last two winters with 72.3" of snow.

The other really interesting contrast that winter was with the January temperatures. NYC had the 7th warmest first half of January followed by 4th coldest 2nd half.

Replying to @NWSSanDiego San Diego Miramar NAS, CA, hit 106°F today. This is the highest temp for any station / any year in the U.S. between Oct 25 and Mar 13.#cawx View conversation ·
