  1. Dendrite at least made it possible to put Forky on ignore.
  2. Nice snow squall here. Started around 9:30 and lasted about 15-20 minutes. Stuck on my gravel driveway and cars but paved roads are only wet. Very nice to look at while it lasted.
  3. I have always been a Yankee fan, but being in between NYC and PHL my second favorite is the Philly's. Truth be told, I would have loved the Orioles to have advanced. My preference now would be a Yankees/Philadelphia world series, but either one of which would be a huge media draw.
  4. The Philly area forum is often mocked as having so few posts. My take is we are serious about the weather and especially potential snow and don't post a lot of worthless banter in our main weather thread. That said, I am hoping for some good winter northeasterns this year that affect DC thru Boston. It's been so long.
  5. I know there is sarcasm in that post. Lol. I got 1.01" in September and one of my huge maples has already dropped most of it's leaves. But after the last bunch of years with so much rain it's nice to see a dry spell.
  6. I can't even imagine what you are going through. Please keep us updated.
  7. Thanks for the reports. One suggestion though. Change your avatar until this is all over. Lol
  8. I love all of the input from hobbyist and non-tropical Mets, but my bet is with the forecasts provided by the mets in the NHC. In the end they are usually not far off.
  9. I'm trying to locate the thread about the 2024 hurricane predictions. I can't remember what I posted. Any help?
  10. No offense, but maybe cut back your posts a bit.
  11. Unfortunately most of your ànalysis of the weather is over my head and likely most other weather enthusiasts, excepting of course other mets. Can't you please share your knowledge in language most can understand?
  12. I missed a lot of posts but I was wondering if you consider your location as representative of global temperature trends?
  13. Unfortunately, the way things are progressing climate wise, Whitehorse may be experiencing our summer temps in the not to distant future.
  14. This high heat/humidity is absolutely disgusting. Although people in the southeast have to be amused at some of our posts. This would be a normal summer for them. Why people move down there is beyond me.
  15. Something has changed in the last 5-10 years regarding modeled changes in the increase in hurricane intensity although they are still good at forecasting track. This seems especially true once storms are in the gulf. I am a total novice in respect to tropical systems and the physics involved but I think forecasters need to increasingly use intuition/experience and not just models. As an aside, kudos to 40/70 (Ray) for saying yesterday or the day before that he felt the models were too far south at land fall. Looks at this point he was correct.
  16. Right now 78/77. This air is by far the worst I have felt in a long time. I feel bad for those with outside jobs in these conditions.
  17. Got 0.52" last evening. Looking at some of the reports around my area where some locations reported well over an inch from the isolated cells, I can appreciate the problem the NWS has including forcast rainfall amounts in the summer, when thunderstorms are the the likely source of rain.
  18. Your AC is probably fine. Just suffer with the rest of NYC during this ridiculous heatwave.
  19. I am sick of all the rain we have had in the last few years. I am hoping this is not the new normal due to warmer average temperatures with concurrent atmospheric moisture holding capacity.. When we moved into our house in 1993 we had the big snow and then the next year or two (?) we had a drought which necessitated a deepening of our well. Although at the time I thought the situation sucked I sort of wish my area could return to those hot, dry summers with winters of normal seasonal snowfalls.
