  1. Dew point has plummeted from the 70’s to the 50’s over the last hour. Temp is 78, high was 85.
  2. 81/73 with sunshine and occasional sprinkles, feels tropical.
  3. It certainly seems like that part of the region (SNJ/SEPA) is a derecho magnet, at least more so than anywhere else.
  4. Yeah I got 0.42” here with that downpour, not bad at all but we’re gonna need more than that to stave off a drought.
  5. First legitimate downpour in ages. Decent amount of thunder and lightning. Edit: Rainfall rates are higher than my monthly rainfall total for May.
  6. Labor Day ‘98 vs Sept 16, 2010? I’ve no conscious memory of anything in 1998.
  7. 0.05” with those showers, and nothing overnight. 74/70 with the sun coming back out, first 70+ dew point after numerous 68/69’s.
  8. Idk, I’d say we’re already there, soil is bone dry several inches down and the grass isn’t pretty.
  9. Enhanced Risk always is the kiss of death out here.
  10. Have we ever seen a major hurricane stay in one spot for as long as this one has? This is basically Dorian right now:
  11. My only ice storm memory is of the Jan 1999 ice storm in the DC area, it was serious, the landscape looked very alien, all trees and power lines sagged in ways I’d never seen (and still haven't seen again), I recall one power line encased in thick ice dangling right in front of the window just a few feet away. This event was also my earliest weather memory.
  12. I hit 105 in Queens, highest temperature I’ve ever experienced. Newark (and maybe LGA) is definitely going to hit 110 one of these days. Old Bridge, NJ hit 110 back in 1936.
  13. I felt it, I thought I was off balance initially but I noticed clothes hangers swaying back and forth. Swaying not nearly as noticeable as the 2011 quake, that was enough to wake me up out of my sleep.
  14. The sheer amount of green leaves left is astonishing. The landscape is still 50%+ green in many spots and we’re in the second half of November.
  15. I super-hate early sunsets, we’re too far east in this time zone. It’d be nice if we could keep Eastern Daylight Time year round, but the U.S. government doesn’t allow year round DST, only opting out of DST. Making the switch to Atlantic Standard Time year round would solve that problem, multiple New England states have recently proposed switching.
  16. It feels like I haven’t looked at a radar since Maria made landfall in PR. I couldn’t even remember where the RadarScope app was located on my phone’s home screen.
  17. I’m legitimately cold. It’d be nice if the sun came out.
  18. So weird seeing people riding jet skis in October.
