And boy I’ve had my share of disappointment. Hope I’m not too late on the climate change scale to experience a snowy NYC winter. Excited to learn some of the fundamentals of this climo!

My guess is that since you were not up here for the very snowy period that some here grew up with and thought was the new normal, you won't be disappointed especially when you compare a winter here with those further south. Trying hard to believe in the process, but it’s been a biiiit of a circus to say the least at times. 2 wins in a row now though! We went from having no defense and a killer offense the past few years to now having a decent defense but no offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor guy has to contend with one of the worst UHIs on Earth lol watching snowflakes melt on impact is painful He and Anthony could become buddies lol Oooh interesting that it’s uniquely bad compared to the rest of the city—any reasons why? I’m only a block from prospect park though, so hoping on getting to see some snow stick there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western Brooklyn/Western Queens and Manhattan is the peak UHI zone. Since you're close to the park you at least have a good option to see better stickage. Overall though with a big well placed storm you will be fine. Problem is getting one lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rclab Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 The first photo was taken Oct 29th the second today, 12 days later. The second, third and fourth photos show how a small piece of inner city Brooklyn accelerated to peak. Looking at the street side or from the backyard roof the transformation gives me a sense of peace …… because, I, like the season, am in the Autumn of my years. Stay well everyone. As always …… 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smith Posted Friday at 03:18 AM Share Posted Friday at 03:18 AM I was reading that the wind was about to reverse over the North Pole -- but if you think about it, the wind at the North Pole has to be either calm or southerly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volcanic Winter Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago 22 hours ago, Dark Star said: What can Vocanic Winter share about possible Hawaiian volcanos and Mount Rainier tremblings? Kilauea is doing sustained summit eruptions and recurrent lava fountaining - not to sell it short, spectacular lava fountaining. Apparently Kilauea is under increased magma supply right now from the hotspot and it’s putting it to good use filling in the 2018 caldera. Mount Rainier is just normal rumblings of its hydrothermal system, if it were to progress to something more the activity would present quite differently IMO. Very likely absolutely nothing other than standard activity. Laki Laki has had the biggest eruptions in its know history this year, it too potentially being under a period of increased magmatic supply. Several substantial sub-plinian blasts, I think combined definitely VEI4 territory. Big story right now is in Africa, a volcanic vent that’s been dormant through the Holocene - Hayli Gubbi just had a substantial eruption, possibly a small 4 or large 3 but a very gassy for the size due to the type of magma. The SO2 plume was actually similar to the early estimates of the MUCH larger Hunga Tonga eruption, which goes to show how eruption size doesn’t ALWAYS dictate the amount of gas reaching the stratosphere. Erta Ale, a very active system with a famous lava lake, had a bunch of its magma drain out and apparently form a lateral dike that extended under Hayli Gubbi, hit a pocket of stale, gassy magma, heat it up, and cause it to erupt. Super fascinating. Still ongoing too. We’ll see what happens. This theoretically could progress as I don’t think we really know what’s sitting under that system. The Afar region is poorly studied and monitored outside Erta Ale which is a big tourist attraction, well relatively speaking. The danakil depression / Afar region is super hazardous topography, very hot and very alien looking. Lot of crazy volcanism. Fernandina in the Galapagos is having a major swarm right now, that’s a very cool volcano that had a substantial and unusual basaltic plinian caldera eruption in the 1950’s. I think a large VEI 4, but still somewhat unique and was quite an intense (fast) event. We’ll see what happens. Lots of stuff going on right now, we’ll see how everything progresses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volcanic Winter Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago The Hayli Gubbi eruption: Reddit link I’ve been fairly preoccupied and trying to stay on top of all these volcanic developments and catch up in various threads here. Rest assured if anything really major happens on the volcanic front I’ll do a write up about it - though Hayli Gubbi erupting fits that bill as this doesn’t happen often (long dormant system suddenly waking up due to magma from a neighbor system), and this may not be fully over depending on what’s going on down below. I would also say there’s been some decent pulses of SO2 this year and last (Raung!) now into the stratosphere from all this activity. Not as much in total as say, El Chichon (and certainly nowhere close to Pinatubo), but enough to possibly have some effect. Was just reading about how cluster of VEI4’s may have had some impact in the 2009-2011 winters, which isn’t typical. Underscores that there’s a lot of interplay we don’t fully 100% understand, but I’ll always maintain volcanoes have a much bigger impact on climate than most realize. And we’re learning a lot of past historical climate disturbances were the result of multiple eruptions clustered together instead of just one, even Tambora had a massive precursor in 1808/9ish. But to be very clear anything from this year / last would be on the lowest end of impact, if at all. But still possibly something in total. Let’s see what happens going forward. Lot of systems showing unrest! edit: more links https://watchers.news/2025/11/25/hayli-gubbis-first-eruption-in-at-least-12-000-years-grounds-flights-across-india-and-the-middle-east/ https://watchers.news/2025/11/25/intense-earthquake-swarm-at-galapagos-fernandina-volcano/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end of life is also the promise of life. When winter finally arrives for me …. I hope to be ready. Stay well, as always ….. The same thing happened back in my old neighborhood of Long Beach. Growing up in the 1970s it was more like Coney Island with numerous boardwalk arcades and an amusement park. Then gentrification began in the 1980s and now multimillion dollar condos took the place of these former attractions. I always found very interesting people living there and it reminded me more of a NYC cosmopolitan neighborhood than a Long Island suburb. Out of all the places that I lived on Long Island, Long Beach had the most character. The condos and apartments below are right where the bowling alley used to be before it closed around 1980. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/100-Boardwalk-Unit-1001_Long-Beach_NY_11561_M99207-31637 https://www.realtor.com/rentals/details/180-Boardwalk_Long-Beach_NY_11561_M94073-56016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
