  1. This is the most up to date picture I have found. Not so bad in the winter, would like to see what it looks like in the summer.
  2. https://goo.gl/maps/R1GELAXm2WmeWDEBA Found the above picture of the Central Park weather station taken in January of 2020
  3. That storm just brushed my area but the thunder and lightning was intense. The cloud formation was also very impressive.
  4. Meanwhile I don't think there were any severe warnings issued for this storm.
  5. I'm getting the outer edge of a good thunder and lightning storm.
  6. Once we make it thru this heat, it looks like we are back to more normal conditions starting Sunday.
  7. Nothing here at this point. I was surprised we got rain last night, tonight back to normal as the storms die out as they approach my area.
  8. 88 the high here, don't think I will get any higher as the wind is now off the water. Dew point 80
  9. My dew point is 73 and temperature 74. I guess that says it all.
  10. For this time of the day, the entire northeast seems to have a lot of scattered storms and rain around.
  11. For those who wonder if it can snow at extreme low temps. Currently at the South Pole it is -98F with snow flurries and ice fog.
  12. looks like I will end up with almost .40 of an inch. More than I expected tonight.
  13. Well the storm held together more than I thought, I got .25 of an inch. Still light rain.
  14. I will be surprised if they have anything left when they get out here.
  15. I agree. The only part I may have some difference is on the managed retreat. Maybe we have to come to the realization that some places people should not live or live at their own risk. We all know the risk on the ocean, ocean storms and flooding. So we build house off the ground and put up walls. Out west they have to stop blaming climate change as the main culprit and start forest management, be careful with power lines, stop people from starting fires and so on. If this isn't done nothing will change. So to me, it is start doing that immediately or move out.
  16. The alternative part at the end says a lot. Folks continue to build homes in dangerous areas. Insurance companies don't want to insure you if you live on the coast or in an area that has wild fires. The reason of course is risk. The risk out west was not a problem in the past because people did not live in these areas. Now they do and they start fires and climate change makes the fires worse. The coast has always been risky and continues to be.
  17. July was actually about a 1/2 degree above normal at Brookhaven Labs on Long Island.
  18. 75 degree high here today under mostly cloudy skies and occasional showers. I received 1.10 inches of rain from the latest event.
  19. Meanwhile it has started raining here again.
  20. They say almost 90% of the fires are started by either people or something like power lines that people have built.
  21. I just want to say that I am for renewable, clean energy. I would never throw trash on the ground and it annoys me a lot when I see others do it. I want our earth and its land and water and atmosphere to be as clean as possible. I just don't want to look at a problem without looking at all sides, in order to come up with good solutions. I only mention this because some may get the wrong idea about my thoughts about climate change.
  22. I have now gotten over an inch of rain from this latest rain event. Much more than I expected but am glad to have received it.
