  1. Another below normal day but still nice.... 63/39 temp split.
  2. At my station this has been the 4th coolest opening 13 days of May...since 1977.
  3. Still looks like a couple more mornings in the 30's this week before the warm up.
  4. Have never had a freeze at my station in May...lowest is 33°. Have been as low as 36° on the 18th, and 39° on the 21st for late cold.
  5. One stat I omitted for April from my station was the monthly max of 69°, The previous lowest max temp is 74°.
  6. My latest temp in the 30's is a 39° reading on the 21st...Have been as low as 36° on the 18th.
  7. Huh where do you see that?....Highest hourly reading I see is 74°. High looks like 75°.
  8. My station for March finished 4th warmest with a T of snow...precip slightly above at 4.80". The Dec thru Mar period was also 4th warmest... total snowfall 6.8".
  9. Just gonna feel so nice once things get back to normal...maybe more people will have learned to relax and appreciate life more. Stay safe....
  10. Everything is probably months away unfortunately.
  11. At least the gloomy weather keeps people indoors...we saw how it looked the other day with the nice weather and all the people out and about.
  12. Went for a walk...no wind, so quiet. Reminded me of the movie "The Omega Man" with Charlton Heston... one of my favs.
  13. Yeah 2001-02 is my warmest met winter but finishes a little further down using astro winter period.
  14. My station stats for astro winter are as follows...Temp was 2nd warmest on record just falling short of 2011-12. Precip was somewhat below normal at 9.06". Snowfall of 2.8" is the lowest on record, beating the 3.0" total in 1997-98. Overall grade .
  15. ^^^^ I remember that storm well...My wife and I had a meeting that we had to attend the next morning in Manhattan...Had to shovel out the car at 4am and drive a couple miles to catch the bus into the city.
  16. Hard to pick out a favorite snowstorm but the boxing day storm may be it for me...The storm itself coupled with it occurring around Christmas...We always would go to my parents on Christmas day to celebrate...Knowing there was a blizzard coming the next day seemed too good to believe.
  17. I didn't know about the story of Stephan Baltz...Wow so sad...I was 11 months old when that accident occured.
  18. Wow the early stuff...Had the aneroid barometer...not too good as you mentioned, remember always tapping it? Had a mercury min/max thermo..it had these little markers inside the glass that would stay at the highest and lowest readings..push a button to reset. It had a 6 ft cable which you put out the window. I've had a lot of equipment...Much of it I still have sitting in the basement...looks like a weather museum. First digital unit was a heathkit thermometer...remember those?
  19. My first weather equipment and first written observations started at around 10 years of age, maybe earlier. I'm now close to 60.
