good riddance to commercial flying.  The airlines deserve it with all their corporate greed and prioritizing profits over passengers.  Have you seen how they have reduced leg room and overall comfort for passengers?  And they brag about it and plan on reducing leg room even more.  I hope they get a recession they never recover from.

Stop flying, it's better for the environment and your health too.  And there isn't an industry that deserves to suffer more than the airline cartels.

I would have hoped that businesses would have learned during covid that you DON'T have to meet in person for a lot of things.

Eisenhower park for a softball fundraiser tournament. Getting home was worse, although to be fair most of that traffic was in the bronx lol

Cross Bronx is the worst. Wasn't it rated the slowest highway in the nation?

GW bridge is one of the craziest bottlenecks.

I spent 10 years driving that shit road daily to Columbia. Took years off my life. So happy to have moved on!

I went to the Jersey shore for a few days with the family last summer and out of the two and a half hour ride I spent 45 minutes of that just trying to to get across that damned bridge.

Yea as of a few years ago i believe it was still the busiest bridge in the world for vehicle traffic. The cross bronx is just a complete trainwreck but theres really no fixing it now.

#Switzerland | A massive chunk of the #Birch glacier collapses into the #Lötschental, triggering a 3.1-magnitude quake. The pre-evacuated village of Blatten is nearly destroyed. One person is missing. The army has been deployed. #Valais #Blatten

People are getting used to Virginia winters. 

There is a reason Floridians act like 60 degrees is freezing. They got used to 90 and humid.  

it's good that humans are able to adapt.

One good thing is lower heating costs.

In a rather ironic twist, climate change is taking money right out of the collective pockets of fossil fuel companies, which is GREAT to see.

And NYC has had over 5 million people since 1910. That's still bigger than the second biggest city in 2025, LA.  So UHI was well baked in by then. 

I want to know if there is a way to find how highs and lows have changed over time separately instead of being averaged together.

You know this is what I want too.  I can tell you right now our May highs were a lot hotter between 1987-1991 lol.

The TV Mets always talked about going right from winter to summer back then.

AI numbers for June. These numbers will again be verified at the end of the month. They appear to be noticeably cooler than the guidance in New York City and Boston. That was the case in May, and May will be cooler than the guidance. It's too soon to speculate about skill or lack of skill.

certainly no repeat of 1944, 1953, 1955, 1966, 1991, 1993, 1999, or 2002 coming anytime soon Don!

Probably not. However, I suspect that those June numbers are too low given the guidance. However, that’s the way things stood at the end of April. The AI idea schooled the EPS. If the AI idea again proves much better than the guidance, that might offer a hint of skill. I would still like to see a lot more data before reaching firm conclusions.

https://www.accuweather.com/en/space-news/aurora-alert-northern-lights-to-glow-over-us-sunday-night/1780372

The biggest display of the northern lights since 2024 could unfold at the end of the weekend and start of the new week following a massive eruption on the sun.

On Friday evening, satellites detected an explosive solar flare on the sun. This sent a tremendous cloud of charged particles toward the Earth, and when it arrives, it will set off an expansive display of the aurora.

The northern lights could glow as early as Sunday night, with the potential for another showing on Monday night -- and people in more than half of the United States could see the Aurora Borealis.

"The aurora may become visible over much of the northern half of the country, and maybe as far south as Alabama to Northern California," NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center said. The impending solar storm is predicted to be a level 4 out of 5.
