I made the mistake of leaving mine on (and actually slightly increased the duration for each zone) while I was away in Scotland in mid July. I’ve had the whole system off since I got back. That’s the longest by far I haven’t had to water in summer. Almost thought about turning them on again if it didn’t rain last night- but it did.

Well, the summer was certainly well below normal but LGA recorded days of 87,87,88 and 89 (on the day of the article). I would kill to have more summers like that one. Absolutely beautiful for all of June and July. August was back to normal but it was my all-time favorite summer. Also had an EF2 touch down about 20 miles from me that summer, which qualifies as interesting in Pennsylvania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rained here most of June. Really sucked. July was cool and dry like you said and August had 4 weeks of humid/warm, it's like the opposite of a warm winter where you get 2-3 weeks of cold and that's it...guess it's the summer version of that.

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 .20” last night. Back to the immediate south shore summer rain pattern after a great end to July. Just had a couple of strong gusts with a wind shift to the north west. I guess the front came through dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just stating that today is the first time they went freezing this summer. I’ve seen Barrow go above 60 before. In fact barrow has seen temps in the upper 70’s during previous July’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinRP37 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I wouldn’t use the term ‘colder’. I’m thinking maybe ‘cooler’ would be the more likely term for September. I’m thinking September as a whole is still +1.5 - +3.0 as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude fall doesn’t really come here until October usually so you are getting ahead of yourself. All I’m saying is colder air is going to invade us in two weeks or so. No frost till October.

But those warm SSTs can work to our advantage in winter. However, one thing I have always found odd is how many people on weather forums say they love the snow, but then don’t ski, board, snowshoe, ride on snowmobiles, etc. All that matters to so many is that we reach above our seasonal snow average, like last year. I personally don’t care how much snow we get as long as it STAYS for more than 24 hours. I hated getting those huge storms and just sadly watched it all melt in a few days. Best winter was a few years ago when it didn’t melt and kept piling up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravity Wave Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 The CFS torches us the first week of September but then really backs down, average to very slightly above average for the rest of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I was joking about was the use of “cold”. It will be cooler yes. But again, I don’t see anything that is really below average. Nobody calls 70s and upper 60s in September “cold”.

CIK62 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Area of moderate to heavy rain just went by to the west and southwest of CI, with a few gusts. Mostly missed, but there was a nice curtain of rain visible for 15 mins.[to 2:20pm] Ditto the above for Jersey City to upper Manhattan [3:30pm for next 15 mins.]as viewed from perspective of a high rise in CI.
