  1. I must rally be losing all the rest of my memory. I know Newark's temperatues are a "few" degrees warmer than NYC, but they are generally close. Yes, NYC is closer to the ocean, but if Newark is in a heatwave, NYC is almost always in a heat wave. Has something changed, or is it just that June can be an "unusual" month because the ocean temperatures are still cool, that this is an extremely specific sea breeze effect? Again, if NYC gets ocean cooling, it normally reaches Newark?
  2. When nuclear winter begins...
  3. It almost seems that the 2-4 week forecasts are becoming more accurate lately? Then again, our below normal pattern still generated slightly above normal temperatures, and the average is based on the previous 20 years which is above normal?
  4. Average, that seems pretty safe?
  5. Been watering for only 10 minutes in the morning for about 2 weeks. "Conventional Wisdom" would say to water less often but to make sure to water at least 1" every few days. Based on observations of lawns with sprinkler systems watering everyday for short periods, these seem to do the best. Grass always seems to like rain water vs. potable water. I'm assuming the chlorine is not appreciated by the grass.
  6. In the winter, we had the Pacific Jet pumping warmer air almost directly into Canada, so at times, western and central Canada was not a source for cold air?
  7. Which is why I came up with the snow triangle for the NYC metro area...
  8. Seems to be even more difficult today, despite all the technology.
  9. I stand corrected, already...
  10. Interesting, but I wonder for where. Looks like NYC and points south may miss most of the shower activity?
  11. I guess it won't be pink for very long? I think their color is based on their diet?
  12. I don't necessarily disagree, but that would assume the entire nothern hemisphere is boiling? Right now, it appears some unusually warm air is trapped in the northwest atlantic, keeping us from being below normal in the present pattern? In winter, I can see how the southern Pacific jet iinjects warmer air into the continent, but I wouldn't think it would as pronounced in the summer months?
  13. I don't quite get it. Where is the warmth coming from in eastern Canada?
  14. Coastal flooding will be our "treat", but I'll be long gone beneath the ground by then...
  15. Looks like you are correct...
  16. Does this mean that the Labrador current is actually still intact?
  17. It's not that hot yet. Heat really wipes me out, but okay so far. It's been a dry heat, so far, so not so bad. Old people are supposed to like the heat, but not me. I melt.
  18. 0.01" of rain in Linden NJ for May 16th. Somehow I think the forecast was a tad off? Then again, the NWS has been changing their forecasts so often lately, that they might have had it right on one of the revisions...
  19. I would prefer this over being too warm, or unseasonably hot.
  20. Considering the temperature has been almost average...
  21. One of the 10 BEST days. I didn't waste my time trying to see the aurora last night. Between possible cloud cover and living in what used to be suburban NJ, there wasn't much of a chance...
  22. I guess the exact severity is impossible to forecast? I saw a media hyped headline, predicting (potential) internet blackouts.
  23. I guess a lot of it was drying up before it hit the ground.
