We're not going to have to worry about civilization if the planet keeps burning up. A bug flew up my nose as I was exiting my car just now......it's the middle of Feb....
-
I was testing a new fly zapper outside today. No problem finding flies. This is unbelievable. Like that famous Twilight Zone episode.
-
Rain doesn't count.
-
It will be cold and wet as soon as you plant peppers and tomatoes and eggplants. This is usually in late May when it should be pretty warm.
-
It was mostly a dud for my area anyway; this part of NJ is not the spot for March snows.

He's a full on crackpot at this point.

We're done here. Neighbors lilies are budded and ready to bloom. I've seen stuff like this in the 90's, but never with the buds on them already. Spring is here. I was just outside changing soil in various flower and veggie pots. Full of active worms, pillbugs, other creepy crawlers.

I cannot remember when it was not a bad allergy season. Ever.

Red sky at morning....but I'm out of the boating business these days...
-
Granted. But as I've pointed out in the past, meteorology is not a licensed field, so in fact anyone can say they are a weather forecaster, and some over the years have been good at it.

Yes, we do let people without medical degrees make diagnoses, and have done so for a long time. NPs, PAs, and even MSW's can make diagnoses. An MSW, LPC, PsyD, LMFT, can make psychiatric diagnoses, and file an insurance claim. Oral surgeons and dentists can diagnoses oral diseases as well. Optometrists can diagnose eye diseases. Chiropractors make diagnoses, but then we really are talking pseudoscience......

It isn't going to snow in any significant way this year is it? Maybe we can get a few slushy wet inches in March. It would be something. Happened in 92. Long time ago. 2019 had two late ones that evaporated as well.

Astoria is not a suburb of NYC.
-
It was called the Snowicaine, and it wasn't 20 inches in the immediate NYC area; more like a foot. Some areas got the higher amounts but not CNJ. We had between 8-13 around Middlesex County; Woodbridge reported 8, Edison reports were of 13. It was decent but overall the whole winter was disappointing for us compared to the Mid Atlantic, but it was absolutely a great winter by this years standards....it was said that the NJ suburbs of NYC were " too far north for 2/6 and too far south for 2/26..." we made up for it the next year though. I think those big winters might just be over for us, but who knows. Certainly DC has had nothing like it since.

A number of homeless walking in the mall this morning. Good thing this one is open at 5 am. Couple of local gyms inside so they open the doors. Allows me to get in a walk in bad weather. Man, it was frigid. My sinuses stung.
-
Yes and it was lame as far as KUs go, but we'd take that in a NY minute......
-
Let's hope not. There is nothing redeeming about hurricanes. They equal death and destruction. Full stop.
-
Glad to hear it. Probably not here much because he's had nothing to report.
-
Meh, a lot of people have left here. You should have seen some of the characters that used to show up; an energy trader who would scream at people, and threatened another poster with being his footstool for 250 k a year, which got a few great responses here, another poster Mulen would just jump in with some hilarious observation then disappear, then there was Pamela who I guess was trans and moved to Montana or someplace. We had a chemist from Merck who meticulously measured snowfall in CNJ, and others who I'm sure I left out. There's not been much winter weather to really discuss for the last two years.
-
Really, winter does suck for most people; after 31 years in the mental health field, I can tell you many people suffer from depression in winter, simply because it is winter. It's called Seasonal Affective Disorder ( SAD ). People will sometimes even get it in spring or summer if the weather is cloudy and rainy for extended periods. OTOH, many people find the brightness of snow to lift up their spirits some.
-
Doesn't matter to the haters. They don't care about any of that. It disrupts the commute in NJ. It costs money to plow and salt. No one here cares about winter sports. The only people I know that ski other than what I read here are all people over 60. Both of them. Same for fishing, really. We are becoming a nation of couch potatoes who can't handle some flurries on the streets. Might as well work from home.
-
They will always counter with the dangers of ice and snow and how much economic disruption they cause due to lost time at work and school. In short, we would all be better off without winter weather. This is the narrative, and it is one that everyone but folks like us agrees with.Virtually everyone I know is happy with this winter's weather ( well they think it could be warmer ) and even the few flurries yesterday was met with disgust among everyone I talked to. There's a reason people are flocking to the Sunbelt and not Syracuse or St.Paul. But, give it time, we're getting there. We'll see more winters like this. Frankly, I like the snow, but could do without the bitter cold. But I recognize not having it is an ominous sign.
-
I was at a large university hospital today getting a check up and when the flurries stopped people were like thank GOD. It just amazes me how much people hate winter and snow around here. It's like the only reason they are here is for their jobs. Once retired they head south.
-
Well it was their only big hit....they were a "supergroup" made up of former bands that most American kids weren't even that familiar with by 1981....the 80's were truly a decade of terrible music.
-
It looks like we are going to go without any snow this year. Did we really have more in 2020? I don't remember anything falling, but that year is hazy for obvious reasons.
