    Here’s the tree, poor guy.

    The obvious, I love storms and we are due. The last true high wind event for our area was in March 18. Localize it to the south shore of the island if you want. All the big trees either fell between 3/10 and sandy or were cut down. 75mph gusts are a real treat to weather enthusiasts and would due little practical damage. Even my dad cut down his 14’ circumference silver maple last year, despite me holding him off for years. Wound up being a good choice as the trunk was full of rot and its days were numbered.

    It’s been way way too long since we have had a wind event that mattered. I’m hoping we make up for that this winter.

    32 and still dropping with lots of frost on the car. 30 yesterday so it will be close. Growing seasons over on the south shore of Nassau despite being left off the freeze warnings. Based on my plants at home (all tropicals severely damaged or killed) and the city (all still perfectly fine on campus on the uws) I’m not sure why the NWS left out Nassau.

    It’s pretty obvious what salt does to white pines, the most important tree to the Maine timber economy.

    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.

    Urban heat island is much more pronounced, in the NY metro than further south which is the catalyst.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Easily a cat 3 currently. Finding just an enough of a gap in shear.

    Some of the best RI ever seen. And on our end, Tammy also, went ballistic…. We are entering a new era.
  14. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Entirely possible given the date. I’ll be following closely, because the first freeze means allot of moving plants!

    El Niño, and CC. Sign of things to come…
  16. LongBeachSurfFreak
    He’s a major climate change denier. Let’s go 90s!
  17. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Winds are absolutely cranking on the island right now, gotta be close to 40mph gusts.
  18. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Those cloud tops! Sign of things to come in the future. Hyper canes, when OHC crosses 200kj

    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

    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
  21. LongBeachSurfFreak
    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.

    The JB influence is waining… its not a bad forecast in my opinion.
  23. LongBeachSurfFreak
    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.

    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.
  25. LongBeachSurfFreak
    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.
