I hate humidity. Arizona is a lot better (much cleaner air too.) Flagstaff is a light pollution free city! Colorado if you want the best of all worlds (snow, clean air, low humidity, etc.)

If you dont like it, dont read it- it's that simple. I'm more concerned with the word "superstorm." There is no such thing.

As long as he bans more pipelines and fracking, I dont care what he says. The denialist types can move to another state where they get buried in fracking quakes or get blown up in pipeline explosions. I dont like that he said that, but the denialist types are far more ignorant, so he's just communicating to them on their level.

wasnt that a very strong el nino?

lol Lee Goldberg said the high next Friday will be 44 degrees, that means a guaranteed below freezing low at night, even in the middle of UHI

I also get pretty upset at the cutting down of a tree to put in Rockefeller Center. Why not just put a fake tree there or grow a real tree? I know we've been trying to get rid of UHI pollution by greening up rooftops, it would be nice to see more of the city go green.

Chris, which months in the 2010s have been below normal? Just November?

having a wet milder winter with more snowfall might actually be beneficial to plants like these since snow insulates them from the cold.

I dont know why some people have so much trouble with this concept. It's not hard to see how the industrial revolution has adversely affected the planet on a variety of levels. Patrick Moore puzzles me, he used to be associated with Green Peace. They kicked him out so he has an axe to grind with the planet? He probably isn't well-versed enough in science to know that higher CO2 means plants have less nutritive value- they lose their content of certain minerals that we need- like zinc and iron.

74 mph gust reported at Stony Brook- is that on an elevated platform again?

Crazy that places like Dallas and San Antonio got their first freeze before we did! Atlanta will likely also.

Crazy that it was +33 in Barrow, Alaska while it was -44 in Utah! Talk about jet stream extremes!

Summer is four months here right now (JJAS) and with the last 80s now occurring in the first half of October, might be expanding into October also.

America is run by large corporations that prey on people's perceptions.

the rise in sea levels and king tides flooding major cities has become pretty consistent. hell, babylon was flooded with the event during the week even though the winds weren't all that strong.

the amount of annual rainfall and higher dew points are going up rapidly too

I saw both Orlando (hit 91 yesterday, a national record) and Miami had their warmest Octobers on record.

The early season storm a year later was much better for us 8"!

Funny thing is I was reading some of those posts just before a large gust took out my power here- for 25 hours!

The storm a year later was similar (but more snow for us), very little on the north shore but 8" from the LIE down to here. LIS is too warm for these early season events.

Thats probably why I saw people running like hell when it happened the first time. No one was around the other two times it happened. Weird thing is I thought transformers going off create a popping sound. Maybe it happened far away and thats why I saw it in the sky rather than sparks going off around me and didnt hear any sounds?

Maybe those weird multicolored lights I saw in the sky were transformers popping? But there was no sound and the entire sky was covered in lights- weird! Happened 3x between midnight and 1 am.

It did reach 60 mph but that wasn't the strangest thing about last night. I dont know if any of you others saw this but I saw something happen three times between midnight and 1 am last night. It looked like three bouts of very long duration lightning (15 seconds each time or more) that caused the entire sky to glow (but no sound.) The really weird part was that the light rapidly changed color from white to blue to red to yellow or orange to a very vivid emerald green. That happened three different times and the glowing lights covered the entire sky. What was this? The cold front passed around 1:30 am and things calmed down after that.

California has been having a lot of dry winters even during el ninos.

and it looks like this dry west pattern will continue for the foreseeable future!
