Sounds interesting, but pricey.

If only our weather was interesting enough to justify the upgrade for me. I hardly get any use out of the lightning feature on the $10 upgrade.

We need to create snow to cover the entire metro, to cool our summers.

Best LSR I've ever read.  From the Roanoke NWS office, filed today:

 

"THUNDERSTORM WINDS DOWNED AN EXCEPTIONALLY LARGE TREE ALONG CEDAR FORK ROAD. HOW LARGE WAS IT? SO LARGE THAT A BACKHOE IS ENROUTE TO CLEAR IT."

48 and rain, inside house temp got to 61. With an 8 month old, the request was made by my wife to turn the heat back on. 

Running the heat now isn't like running the heat in the middle of a cold winter though so that's a plus. I flipped my downstairs zone back on and it just runs once in the morning to get the house back up to 63. Although today it may run a couple times but it won't be running on a regular basis like in the heart of winter

Staten Island Mesonet site is active as of yesterday.

Another rooftop site, but it doesn't appear to be as high as the Queens site. I'm hoping that translates to more accurate measurements.

That's the roof of the sports and recreation center at CUNY Staten Island from the GPS coordinates.

Couldn't argree more.  By May I'm done with cloudy and cool weather.

 

So I will take you guys didn't like the summer of 2009.;) I still remember driving in those torrential June downpours where the wiper blades hardly did any good.

Definitely not my Summer of choice :lol:

Check this out:  http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/01/nyregion/01hot.html

That June-July  was as out of place for colder than normal  summer temps during the 2000's as February 2015 was for the winters. it was the coolest June-July combo at Newark since 1940. The record -AO drop set the tone for the mid 2009 to early 2013 record -AO regime. I enjoyed the lack of beach crowds and traffic in Long Beach that summer.
