more 90 degree days across the east but 100 degree days didn't change much

 

Thanks Forky, this is exactly what I was looking for.  Unfortunately Central Park is bucking the 90s trend.....they were   a travesty in 2010, they barely had more than JFK did and JFK had the most they've ever had by a large amount.

 

So for here it's 2 more 90 degree days per year and 1 more 100 degree day per year.

Bring earplugs

If Forky is successful this weekend, I’m sorta happy that I won’t be around to see what comes out of the ground 17 years from now. As always .....

Wild Onion Cicada Nibblers

Ingredients

  • 1 cup freshly emerged, blanched cicadas
  • 1 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 4 tablespoons finely chopped wild onion stalks (scallion stalks may be substituted)
  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 tablespoons sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons black pepper
  • 1 cup salted butter

You're a fan of nature in the raw or are the cooking instructions secret?

Directions

Marinade the cicadas in the Worcestershire sauce for at least 45 minutes.

Beat the eggs. Blend in the wild onion.

Mix the sea salt and black pepper into the flour.

Melt the butter in a frying pan over low heat.

Strain the cicadas from the Worcestershire sauce.

Increase the heat under the frying pan to medium

Drop the cicadas in the egg-wild onion blend. Stir.

Pull the cicadas from the egg-wild onion blend and roll in the flour-sea salt-black pepper mix.

Saute the cicadas gently until they are golden brown.

Seems like it should be a healthy dish, the cicadas are purely vegan, unlike farmed shrimp that are raised in near cesspools. 

But 17 years between meals is a difficult marketing problem.

Does anyone know if there are website issues with the NWS point-and-click site for New York City? This is the 3rd consecutive day that the afternoon figure is far off what is likely and what is already occurring.

Yesterday, when I tried to view the preliminary daily climate summary, there was an error retrieving it. Later on, it worked fine. I'm not sure if the issue I encountered yesterday is part of a larger issue that is preventing or delaying the timely updates to the point-and-click numbers or a separate unrelated problem with coincidental timing.

Odd it seems to be working fine for me

i am having all kinds of problems with it and additionally i could not access the Mount Holly AFD this morning

Thanks. It seems to be a larger issue than simply an Upton website matter, in that case. Perhaps the Eastern Region or even NCEP was having issues.

there's a rock dove at work who made its nest right above a doorway, i saw this morning one of the eggs had fallen out and cracked, very sad.

Rock doves operate on the Facebook principle, move fast and break things. So they make cursory quick nests and hurry to get the kids out on their own, then go on to the next nest.

There is probably a bestselling business strategy book in there somewhere.
