  1. It might flirt with freezing again, but it's a good chance yesterday was it.
  2. I think 45 to 55 inches IS our new normal. Warmer world = more atmospheric moisture = more rain for this part of the world, aka eastern US.
  3. I just saw a flock of geese flying north. It's over
  4. Anyone know how the precip deficit map was created/came from? It's gorgeous
  5. DCA average is really bad. That would be like one of our worst seasons, which is what I consider 12 inches.
  6. Even NYC's average low until like 4 days ago was still freezing or below. And they're by far the warmest spot in the area. What were you expecting?
  7. It's crazy that we just had 2 inches of rain and there are wildfires igniting. Humidity levels are super important.
  8. On radar it looks like it's south of Riverhead
  9. I have to say this is a very good post and exactly reflects my thoughts that I have been sharing to others. The message isn't usually received positively lol
  10. Not just more likely, it's like 99% of people. Walk/drive around at 4AM and see how dead it is.
  11. The 80s were good for the Mid Atlantic indeed. Cold but not very snowy here. The clipper has become like the white tiger, exceedingly rare.
  12. Metric was sort of given a shot and failed too, but it's still the correct system to use haha You actually prove my point, sunlight at 4AM is a waste, you'll be sleeping through it anyway. Do healthcare workers say the switch is bad or the light itself is bad? People already live with permanent DST conditions that we would experience here on the western end of time zones and/or higher latitudes.
  13. Btw our circadian rhythm also tells us to go to sleep when the Sun goes down. But I doubt you all go to sleep at 7 or 8 PM in summer or 5PM in winter haha We already violate the natural body cycles, might as well have natural light instead of artificial light for an extra hour in the evenings.
  14. We don't need the Sun rising at 4AM in July. Either we keep it the way it is or we go permanent DST.
  15. They'll get over it lol World is getting warmer, you'll be able to have lovely evening winter walks with some light.
  16. But we already do that lol Unless you go to work at like 9AM. But even then most people are waking up while it's still dark. If we lived in the western half of the time zone we'd already be experiencing permanent DST conditions in winter. It's not abnormal. Hundreds of millions of people have darkness in the morning, huge swaths of Europe are even worse because of its higher latitude. We'll be ok.
  17. I'd love DST all year. Early sunsets are depressing.
  18. Bro it's already dark in the morning in winter. Might as well have the light until 530PM.
  19. Bad luck I think. At some point in the future though even good tracks will yield rain along the coast more often. Not always, but a higher probability.
  20. @bluewave why is the 7 year snowfall running mean most significant? In other words how did we arrive to 7 years instead of 5 or 10 or some other number?
  21. My bad I didn't realize he posted the ensembles when you were talking about the OP.
  22. And you're off by half. There's a giant blob of 1.8 to 2 inch amounts on that map. That's about average for a two week period for this part of the country.
  23. It's a horrible design, how about moisture damage to the structure? And if that soil gets water logged from rain, the weight would be absolutely enormous.
  24. Typical of the ups and downs of mid March.
