since 1990-91... ...winters with... less than 10"...4 10-19.9............7 20-29.9............5 30-39.9.............3 40-49.9.............5 50+....................6

the 1980's were colder than the 2010's-20's...the Oceans were colder too...from 1970-71 to 1989-90 NYC averaged 20.6" of snow...the 1990's with the help of 1993-94 and 1995-96 averaged around 25" a season...the last twenty years are averaging 32" a season...not to mention how many 20" snowfalls we had since 1996...

the big change happened in January 1990...

I forgot about the 80 in Feb when there was a foot of snow the first day of Spring...at my age I like it milder and snowier...

off the top of my head there were two summers that had its hottest temprature of the summer on 9/22...1895 hit 97 and 1914 hit 95...1970 tied its hottest day on 9/22 with a 94...

not tropical as far as I can see which isn't to far in my condition...that week had about 6" of rain but it does not come close to one of the wettest weeks we have seen... List of wettest weeks in NYC. 13.02" 10/08-14/2005 12.23" 09/20-26/1882 12.13" 10/07-13/1903 ..9.96" 08/05-11/1990 ..9.85" 04/12-16/2007 ..9.66" 11/04-10/1977

1963 just missed being the driest year on record in NYC...1964 broke the record and became driest year on record...1965 broke that record by a lot to become the driest year on record...1966 was following the same theme but a September deluge broke the drought...

since 1971 NYC is averaging over 50" a year...before that it was 42"...1956 to 1965 was the driest 10 years on record...the drought broke in Sept> 1966...

some people spit when they talk...we would say give me the news not the weather...

less warmth is a good way to describe the coming cool down...gone are the days when July and August used to get heat relief with temperatures in the 50's in NYC...now its mid to low 60's...even in years when temperatures hit 100 or better there was a cool down into the 50's...

it would fit in perfectly this year...

where in the Poconos?...My son has a house in Wild Acres in Dingmans Ferry...I've been going there for 48 years...

anything Fauci says I do the opposite...I said a long time ago a mask cant protect your eyes if someone coughs or sneezes near you...

92/73 split here..

the worst part of recovery is I have to keep my head down most of the time for at least a week...I cant sleep on my back...Im lucky it was fixed just in time...I got the chinese virus test and it was negative...if it was positive i would have gone blind in that eye because they would not do the operation...

I'll be on the shelf for a while...I had a detached retina operation yesterday...don't know how it happened...old age does funny things...no pain but having a patch over one eye is...

power was off for two hours...winds were very bad...trees and branches all over the neighborhood...

heavy rain now...

the feeder band is almost here...if NYC gets anything severe it will come within a few hours...

the storm in 1915 was enhanced by a tropical wave from the west I think...flooding was the story with that storm... http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030193/1915-08-04/ed-1/seq-1/ http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030193/1915-08-04/ed-1/seq-2/

a few drops now...0.11" since last evening...we will get more wind than rain out of this...oh well...

I'm hoping this storm does not track west of the city...if it does we could see some strong winds from the south south east and less rainfall...I'd rather see more rain and less wind...not looking forward to power outages from this...Hazel in 1954 was a much bigger hurricane but tracked well west of the city...winds were clocked at 113mph on the roof of 17 Battery place in lower Manhattan...

there was a hurricane in 1949 that stayed off shore but caused damage in Brooklyn... 1949 hurricane... http://bklyn.newspapers.com/image/52998805 http://bklyn.newspapers.com/image/52998811/
