    I nominate Ramon, for the worst use of a name of all time.

    Well we finally did it in the urban jungle. Fun day ahead removing all the dead annuals. I bet midtown may have stayed above freezing though. I’m sure there are some annuals still alive down there.
  3. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Pretty much a lock now. Adios to all the tropical plants on campus. They look silly still alive at this time of year anyway.

    I might be a bigger snow lover than you: the reality is, ninos are back loaded. My livelihood relies on snow for major overtime, so if it were up to me we would repeat 95/96 every year. But based ok climatology ninos are backloaded winters. I’m not saying we repeat December 15, that almost put the ski industry out of business, but let’s be realistic.

    Simple. I have tropical plants on campus on the uws that are still thriving. The urban heat island has been killing marginal events for years, and it’s only getting worse. If you took a campus tour right now and you had no idea what time of year it was I could convince you it was early October.
  6. LongBeachSurfFreak
    highly doubt it’s worth it. As of right now the only trail with snow on it is franks. I just don’t see how they can pull it off. Head to killington, worth the extra hour drive.

    I’m fully in that camp, let the cold air build over the pole and send it down (hopefully on our side of the world after the new year) pretty typical nino forecast. I don’t think this winter will full on rat, but I do believe there will be lots of talk of it ratting after December.

    We haven’t had much wind, certainly not a high wind event. Nothing on the horizon either. So leaves are coming down very gradually this fall.

    30 for my low with lots of frost. JFK hit 32 but as expected the park and LGA not even close at 36 and 37.
  10. LongBeachSurfFreak
    JFK radiates the best out of the city sites so I could see the first 32 there. The park will probably be 34 and LGA the worst radiating site 35. Assuming it doesn’t happen tonight we may go pretty late in the season for the Park.
  11. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Yeah, my tropical plants on the uws are still going strong. I’m debating potting some that I over winter inside for the potential Sunday night.

    Some of the best nor’easters and apps runner of all time were in November.
  13. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Extremely boring time to be weather enthusiast. Hopefully with the developing nino we have storms to track soon, regardless if it’s rain.

    We will just have to differ without me divulging more information on higher end quantity prices on indoor quality (think white widow, it’s been around since the 80s) now, that kind of thc level can be found in mass grown plants. There are warehouses in Oklahoma with so much product it rots before getting to market. Those thc levels can be had for $800 a pound. In the 80s, sure there was cheap Mexican pack weed for similar prices, but something like white widow, was going for $3000.

    30 years ago it was worth 4 times what it’s worth now even with inflation. As the article posted clearly shows the market is saturated by illegal grows. Outdoor plants are generally worth considerably less, especially in a place like Maine which is far from mimicking their tropical originals even in summer.

    It’s an amazing station, I watch it a little too much. So if the wind is over 10mph it doesn’t radiate. Obviously if the winds calm it’s bombs away. Even the wantagh mesonet went below freezing and it just as coastal.
  17. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Not surprising given then nino. About as boring a pattern as we could possibly be in given the time of year. November has produced some of the best storms of all time. Especially apps runners.
  18. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Here’s the tree, poor guy.
  19. LongBeachSurfFreak
    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.
  20. LongBeachSurfFreak
    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.
  21. LongBeachSurfFreak
    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.
  22. LongBeachSurfFreak
    It’s pretty obvious what salt does to white pines, the most important tree to the Maine timber economy.
  23. LongBeachSurfFreak
    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.
  24. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Urban heat island is much more pronounced, in the NY metro than further south which is the catalyst.
  25. LongBeachSurfFreak
    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.
