Dark Star

California is a lot bigger, but their policy is hands off when it comes to clearing underbrush. There is no forest management there. They stopped that decades ago. Truth be told, I know nothing about fire prevention, but obviously the Fire Chief of LA didn't exude much confidence either, since she was recently demoted. Part scapegoat, I understand.

Down here in Garwood NJ, we had 10.3" of snow this winter...

although there is statistical reasoning, I find the 30 year temperature averages arbitrary. They don't base record highs or lows from it, nor do they base average seasonal snowfall on it.

Asking for some indoor humidity readings. Recently bought two mini hygrometers. It was reading 10%, then rose to 18% when I turned on a small humidifier right next to it.

Wow, and I though Hainseville was the icebox of New Jersey!

I'm a Greedy Duck

As much as I have been frustrated, snow amount-wise, I'll still take this winter.

Some very light snow showers in Garwood NJ, the road not even whitened, and the town salted my street twice!

Sun is out, no flurries in Linden, NJ...

I could see maybe LI because of ocean interaction?

Some scattered cirrus at 10:28 AM in beautiful Tremley Point of Linden, NJ...

So Central Union County NJ received two 29.5" snowstorms since 1996. Is it even possible that the greater NYC metro area can see a snowstorm >40", or a scenario of direct back to back storms totaling over that amount?

Fumunda Cheese...

That could be a very fun month!

So I should plan on 7.5 years of retirement, if I begin October 01, 2025? I guess that should be enough time...
