  1. Got up to 68 here, currently 65.
  2. I have seen the sun reflect off a house window and warp the siding on the house next door. The heat island affect from NYC is so strong that the temperature reading in Central Park, which is not near the high rises, still is affected on calm nights to be some 10 degrees warmer than suburbs.
  3. In the past 10-20 years there has been a big change in the city skyline with numerous skyscrapers being built not only in Manhattan but especially in western Queens and Brooklyn. Not sure what affect this has in respect to the heat island affect but it makes sense that it must have some affect. Hopefully the greener buildings and materials being used to construct the buildings will minimize the affect on the local climate.
  4. I agree as far as Long Island Sound goes, it is cleaner now than in the 1960s.
  5. The biggest climate affects around our area are milder temperatures and wetter conditions and more snow. As far as flowering plants and trees being threatened by cold, this has always been a big problem down south, I would assume. My daffodils seemed very droopy this morning but I think they will survive.
  6. Temperatures in the Adirondacks expected to be near zero the next few nights. Not exactly spring weather.
  7. 41 degrees with ice pellets here
  8. Had thunder and lightning here with heavy rain.
  9. 38 degrees here this morning. Heat island in full affect with 54 degrees in Manhattan.
  10. I now have more snow than yesterday, of course that isn't saying much, but it is still snowing moderately.
  11. It is snowing harder here than it did yesterday.
  12. Looking at NYS Thruway cams, it looks like heavy snow in the Kingston area, would not be surprised if they get close to double digits.
  13. My temperature has gone from the 50s to now 62 since the frontal passage. I am also getting stronger wind gusts now, recent 40mph gust.
  14. Now that the front has gone thru my temperature has actually gone up to 60 with more of a land wind. Wind also gustier.
  15. Squall line thru here with little fanfare. Brief heavy rain wind gusting to about 30.
