  1. It’s amazing how the line has a gap headed for most of our area
  2. Let’s start pumping water temps too
  3. If we get .10” on the uws I would be surprised. It takes everything to wrong for that to occur with the kind of dynamics we have today
  4. Can’t buy rain on the uws. Everything is training just to my east and messing up instability for later.
  5. We should see a nice old school wide spread wind event later today. I’m not saying the D word but a nice MCS with locally damaging winds. I think most places city west will see gusts to at least 40mph which should blow the pollen around!
  6. It’s theoretically possible given the right circumstances for one to last forever. Lows do not just “fill” as long as there is moisture transport from the ocean.
  7. For some reason that has been the theme lately. It’s like a boost from the Gulf Stream and then fizzle. 50/60 degree water temps are very stable. Once you get into the 70/80 range convection fires
  8. At least we will still get a descent soaking. I just installed 40k worth of plants on campus and haven’t turned on the irrigation yet
  9. It’s gotta be snowing in the poconos over 2,000’. I wonder if there are any accumulations anywhere
  10. Too bad there aren’t any higher mountains at our latitude. The Catskills have lots of peaks over 3,000 and a couple 4,000 that would definitely be snow.
  11. Exactly what I thought when I saw that forecast. Another hyper active season and it’s hard for us to not at least be effected.
  12. I’m thinking more off the grid places. Maybe even somewhere in British Columbia
  13. Precip fail yesterday as we head into another quick dry up. Feast or famine rain patterns are the new normal.
  14. Other then 33 and rain my least favorite type of weather. For some reason these types of data always feel cooler then the actual air temp, it’s like the opposite of humidity at a higher temp
  15. That’s a great arboretum. Amazing that those trees survived 38 and carol.
  16. My uncle had 10” in Susquehanna county about 30 miles south of Binghamton. He’s at 1900’ so definitely maximized snow fall. Where did you see those big numbers?
  17. Drove through some pretty serious flooding this morning on the cross island. The throgs neck ramp was closed. I also have some flooding on campus due to clogged drains (flower peddles) flood events are a dime a dozen now. I really need to upgrade our drainage systems. meanwhile upstate in to Vermont are getting crushed with snow. Looks like a Vermont trip is in the cards for this weekend.
  18. That’s a great idea. Let’s keep those stupid trees from reproducing. All they do is soak up carbon dioxide anyway. The reality is this, the amount of trees removed on Long Island in the last two decades is tremendous. As a result pollen count is most certainly lower at your house then it was 20 years ago. Your just getting older and having increasing symptoms.
  19. That’s epic! With all the open land the drifting will be incredible, 20’ house covering type stuff.
  20. Japan is up there for sure. They have events where it snows 100”. I just don’t think they have the kind of moisture feed you see in areas taking a jet right on the nose.
  21. Thoughts on the snowiest place on earth? Including mountains at any elevation. My choice would be Patagonia around 45 south coastal mountains, elevation 10,000’. Should average around 2,000” a year Other option. Coastal BC Canada mountains also in the 10,000’ range. Trying to maximize moisture and uplift.
  22. Rainfall rates are higher then what the radar suggests. Seems to be a common theme in tropical flow events. You get these small rain drops that do not show well on radar
  23. Of course Sandy was on another level. Hence the 600 year reoccurrence rate. But it made landfall in New Jersey. I’m talking about a hurricane with an intact tropical center and that was Gloria. One thing that Sandy didn’t have was an eyewall with wind gusts over 100mph. When we have another carol or 38 the damage to the electrical grid is going to be a true disaster.
  24. I have feeling we take a real hit this summer. Gloria in 85 was the last real hurricane to hit Long Island. We are more then due
