  1. It’s pretty obvious what salt does to white pines, the most important tree to the Maine timber economy.
  2. That’s exactly it. Solar insulation is too low for true tropicals. Meanwhile native plants are still doing excellent. Tonight should give the tropicals a nice beating in the city, but not enough to completely freeze them solid like in past years.
  3. Urban heat island is much more pronounced, in the NY metro than further south which is the catalyst.
  4. Ummmmm k…. I’m a huge, huge climate change guy. But I think there are still solutions. My favorite being fusion technology. We could pretty much fix everything with endless lean energy.
  5. Based on our, immediate gratification news culture it will be too late. This is a once in a generation event. A major modern city basically set back to the Stone Age. This has major long term implications.
  6. I’m actually shocked and appalled by the lack of coverage of this, soon to be, humanitarian crisis. This was the big one, for Mexico.
  7. Had Andrew been 20 miles further north we likely would see this kind of damage in Miami. It will happen one day, it’s just a matter of when. No building codes exist for 200+mph winds, and debri.
  8. Some of the best RI ever seen. And on our end, Tammy also, went ballistic…. We are entering a new era.
  9. Entirely possible given the date. I’ll be following closely, because the first freeze means allot of moving plants!
  10. He’s a major climate change denier. Let’s go 90s!
  11. Winds are absolutely cranking on the island right now, gotta be close to 40mph gusts.
  12. Those cloud tops! Sign of things to come in the future. Hyper canes, when OHC crosses 200kj
  13. Pouring here in lynbrook. Sucks because I’m supposed to do a project with my side business this weekend. Im going to have to work twice as hard tomorrow. Weekend curse continues
  14. Let’s get past December 1st. Then we start talking. We have had some serious fall cold shots the last few years followed by awful winters
  15. I vividly remember that storm, I was out shoveling snow for money with my friends and it started pouring. We were all soaked shoveling slush and near hypothermic. 95/96 I only really remember the blizzard as there were so many other events it’s all a blur. I miss Alberta clippers too, especially cold ones with 3 or 4” of powder. I think those are a thing of the past.
  16. I think the El Niño will be strong enough to reshuffle the pattern. Anything is better than what we have been seeing along the coast. Ninos come with an amped up southern stream, so we just need to time some cold and we can score. But I agree a wall to wall cold, blockbuster winter is almost impossible during a strong nino.
  17. Some mod/hvy rain on the uws currently. Starting to get some ponding on campus. Family weekend and I’m on OT chilling in my shop, so I’m ok with this one.
  18. Yeah true. It used to be the same for hurricanes, like 38, which is the king. Anyone from this area with basic weather history knows what your talking about when you say 38.
  19. Exactly. Anything over 6” is a win. One thing is certain, we will see an active southern stream and resulting storminess, with the potential for multiple strong nor’easters. We just need to line up the cold. I’m feeling somewhat optimistic we at least see some snow.
  20. I agree, however I could see using names for blizzards on the level of 78, 96, 03, 05, 15, 16.
  21. I think I want that more the anyone. Let’s go! At least we have a shot of breaking the shot winter pattern we have been stuck in.
  22. Text book RI. Major devastating wind event for PV. The track just to the south should empty the whole bay. This was a good chase cane!
