You live in a great neighborhood. Cobble Hill is one of the most in demand places to live in Brooklyn. Some people like a more urban setting and others more rural. You can be happy in many different types of environments.

Thank you so much BW. I sent it  to my daughter. A portion of the video shows Congress street park. The small row houses shown were actually carriage houses for the transportation use of the wealthy families who lived in the brownstone residences opposite them. The park is the result of those homes being demolished to make way for a multi family high rise apartment building project that was supposed to be built there. It was delayed, then stopped.The park was the positive legacy. The carriage houses were converted to cottage residences. The pine trees lined up against the fence were post holiday waiting for recycling. The snow gives even the harshest urban setting a touch of beauty. I pray my grandchildren will not need a dated half century video to see it. Thank you again, BW. As always ….

I love that name Cobble Hill.  I wonder if one can ski down this hill in the winter after a nice snowstorm?

 

Only one cobble stone street remains; Tiffany Place. The hill potion was probably more pronounced 170+ years ago, before residences started replacing the farmlands.  As always…..

wtf, heavy mist here and nothing showing on radar.

Models go for another strong ridge after the holiday but it's centered SW of us vs directly over and then it retros west. 

If that holds true then we'll avoid another 100+ stretch.

Beautiful collection of photos. There is so much Brooklyn history there going back to the Dutch settlement. The neighborhoods from around Prospect Park back to through your area up to Williamsburg contain some of the most sough-after urban real estate in the United States. I was able to find a great old photo from the Blizzard of 1888.

67 / 65  still an onshore focus keeping the June gloom cloud magnet overhead the brunt of the morning into early afternoon.  Once the sun returns heats up quickly to the mid / uppper 80s.  Those with more prolonged periods of sun could touch 90.  Scattered storms overnight.  Sunnier Sunday heats up upper 80s to low 90s in the hot spots again with scattered storms overnight. 

Mon looks the hottest of the week (till the 6/7th) with enough sun ahead of any storms, low perhaps some mid 90s in the hot spots.  Tue storms may be abit more in coverage, otherwise hot/humid with in/out sun.  

Wed - Sat :   Looks like a nice stretch (perhaps the nicest) of the summer beach days , dry, sunny, warm mainly mid - upper 80s with a mainly clear and dry fourth of July.   Euro is coolest for the 4th/5th keeping the area low 80s or lower.    Beyond there hotter towards the 7th and we'll see how the ridge lines up , overall hotter.

6/28 - 7/1 : Hot/humid possible storms (focus Sat PM, Mon PM / Tue)
7/2  - 7/5 :  Warm, dry , clear  mainly 80s
7/6 - 7/7: maybe a bit wetter
7/7 - beyond :  Turning Hotter

Yesterday, New York City (Central Park) had a low of 62° while White Plains had a low of 63°. That was the first time since May 28th that New York City had a lower minimum temperature than White Plains and just the fourth time this year that has happened.

Yeah, models starting  to show a retrogression pattern. A piece of the Plains heat may try to come east in early July for a few days in the mid to perhaps upper 90s. But if the ridge axis remains west, then it won’t be nearly as hot as this last week was. That would follow the more historic precedent of no follow ups above 103° so soon. So maybe 95° to 99° for a day or two before the ridge pulls back. Then it’s possible that the WAR retrogrades in mid to late July with more 95° to 100° heat here. But hopefully nothing as strong as we just saw in late June.

1923 - A massive tornado hit Sandusky, OH, then swept across Lake Erie to strike the town of Lorain. The tornado killed 86 persons and caused twelve million dollars damage. The tornado outbreak that day was the worst of record for the state of Ohio up til that time. (David Ludlum)

 

1924: An F4 tornado hit Sandusky, OH then moved eastward across Lake Erie to strike Lorain, OH. 15 of the 64 deaths at Lorain occurred in the State Theatre, where a silent film was being shown. The tune "Sacrifice" was being played on the piano when the twister struck. The tornado produced a massive wave on Lake Erie. 85 people were killed and total damage was $12.5 million dollars (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1952: The highest overnight minimum temperature was 82° with a 98° maximum gave a daily mean of 90° at National Airport.

1954: All-time record temperatures for South Carolina tied at Camden, SC: 111 °F. (Ref. Lowest and Highest Temperatures for the 50 States)

1975 - Lee Trevino and two other golfers are struck by lightning at the Western Open golf tournament in Oak Brook, IL. (The Weather Channel)

1980 - The temperature at Wichita Falls, TX, soared to 117 degrees, their hottest reading of record. Daily highs were 110 degrees or above between the 24th of June and the 3rd of July. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced severe weather in the north central U.S. Thunderstorms in Nebraska produced wind gusts to 70 mph and baseball size hail at Arapahoe, and wind gusts to 80 mph along with baseball size hail at Wolback and Belgrade. Six cities in the Ohio Valley reported record low temperatures for the date, including Cincinnati, OH, with a reading of 50 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Showers and thunderstorms brought much needed rains to parts of the central U.S. Madison, WI, received 1.67 inches of rain, a record for the date, and their first measurable rain since the Mother's Day tornado outbreak on the 8th of May. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Evening thunderstorms deluged Winnfield LA with eleven inches of rain in four hours and fifteen minutes, and Baton Rouge LA reported 11 inches of rain in two days. Totals in west central Louisiana ranged up to 17 inches. Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the Northern High Plains. Two inch hail broke windows in nearly every building at Comstock, NE. Thunderstorms in North Dakta produced two inch hail at Killdeer, and golf ball size hail at Zap. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1998: Record breaking heat occurred across parts of the southern Plains. Amarillo, TX (recently broken, currently 6/26/2011: 111°) and Dodge City, KS both set their all-time record high temperatures with 108° and 110° respectively. Roswell, NM recorded a record daily high of 110 °F. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

2003: A damaging severe thunderstorm rolled in from the east into Liberal, KS. The combination of 80 to 100 mph wind and hail larger than golf balls produced at least $8 million dollars in damage. Flash flooding occurred following the devastating hail and wind storm. Nearly all streets in and around Liberal were flooded. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

2006: The storm total of the 22nd - 28th of 2006 was 12.10 inches the most precipitation ever recorded at the Annandale Weather Center in a storm in the last 26 years; the old storm total record was October 6th - 8th of 2005 when 7.09 inches occurred.
We were lucky in a sense that 2006 was dry with a - 6.29 precipitation departure going into June or even more flooding would have been experienced. (Annandale Weather Center - Annandale, VA.)

2010: The maximum temperature today at the Richmond International Airport was 102 °F which not only broke the record high temperature for the date, but was close to the 104 °F record maximum for the month of June. Both June 27th and 28th had a maximum temperature 102 °F. Richmond has never had back to back 100 °F plus days before in June.  Only three June days have been hotter: (June 30, 1937 103 °F) (June 19, 1944 103 °F) (June 26, 1952 104 °F ) June 2010 also had 19 days of 90 °F or hotter temperatures the record was 20 in 1943. The Richmond International Airport reported the mean temperature for June was 81.1 °F which was a new 113 year record. This breaks the old record of 79.2 °F set in 1943 and was a +8.7 °F departure from average. June had 8 new daily temperature records and all were for heat.  (Ref. Richmond Weather Records - KRIC)

2010: Richmond, Virginia, set record for the most days in June reaching 102 degrees F (June 24, 27, and 28). (Ref. Weatherwise U.S. Weather Highlights of 2010 page 8 )
