    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
  14. 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.

    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.
  19. LongBeachSurfFreak
    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.
  21. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Some of the best RI ever seen. And on our end, Tammy also, went ballistic…. We are entering a new era.
  22. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Entirely possible given the date. I’ll be following closely, because the first freeze means allot of moving plants!
  23. LongBeachSurfFreak
    El Niño, and CC. Sign of things to come…
  24. LongBeachSurfFreak
    He’s a major climate change denier. Let’s go 90s!
  25. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Winds are absolutely cranking on the island right now, gotta be close to 40mph gusts.
