  1. Damn! Feel better! The ribs will likely take a while
  2. Are you saying there weren’t cameras back in ‘87? What a gem of a day today is!
  3. Violently agree. When was the last decent year around here for foliage? The past two, for sure, have sucked.
  4. Isn’t that a relative question? Do you mean the worst of the heat as in upper 90s for highs? Or worst of the heat as in departures from average?
  5. Agreed. And to make it confusing to folks around here is that we border three other NWS offices. I realize that happens in plenty of other parts of the country though.
  6. You know just how close that was to my house...the view from the top of the hill here of that must have been fantastic.
  7. Missed me by two miles. Numerous reports of trees into houses in Montgomery according to the Orange and Rockland County Fire page on Facebook.
  8. And what a pop that is, as you know. During the tropical storm about an hour after I got power back, only out 4 hours that time, I heard that exact noise but didn’t realize what it was plus my power didn’t go out. I wondered if the Red Coats were attacking! The next morning I saw two fuses flipped on the line that goes to the pump house at the river thanks to a branch laying on top of them.
  9. I guess that cell had rotation as per Hudson Valley weather.
  10. After the first two jump starts, one before work and one after, we got the battery replaced and yet it still wouldn’t start. The wife called our mechanic son who said try jumping it again even with the new battery as it could be a voltage issue with the starter not getting enough because it’s shot or the wires to the starter are messed up. Sure enough it fired right up when I jumped it for the last time today.
  11. Nice. Luckily no damage or anything in my yard. That last cell rocked just north and east of me, many outages out this way thanks to that. I got to jump start my wife’s car three times today, once in the rain, winning! Got home late, didn’t get dinner and then lost power. I’m too tired to wrestle with the generator tonight, just hope the power flips on tonight or add to my morning list run the generator before jumping the wife’s car again to get it to Formula H. First world problems, I know.
  12. I'm hoping for a whole lot of noting later IMBY. Saturday could be a soaking rain for a while at least.
  13. The dead ash trees are a very common sight over in this neck of the woods too.
  14. Yeah, the whole area could use some sustained periods of rain instead of a deluge in 20 minutes or less. Would think that forest fire danger is creeping up there now too.
  15. Absolutely. Its been a warm summer for sure but IMBY, nothing notable as far as record highs or heat waves, just a lot of well above average. In 2013 for example I had 14 70 degree lows, I average 4.9 lows of 70 and its only been 2 thus far with only 6 90 degree days.
