Sandy was the only one I could think of late..and that ended up landfalling south of Atlantic city - so doesn't count.
Irene, Bob, Carol, were late August
Gloria, 1938 were Mid late-September
$800 for an entire winter is great.
I just did an early fill of my oil because I read the prices were going to start skyrocketing. I have a boiler system for heating and indirect water heater.
180 gallons at $4.25 ~ $785
Unfortunately I'll be lucky if I make it until early January. Last winter I spent about $2200 on oil. This year is on track to surpass that
I need to start looking into alternatives
had a huge nest of those last year..about the size of a beachball. paid $160 to get rid of it. DIY is probably not worth the hassle for those..especially with toddlers and pets around. it was only about 7ft high on my maple in the front yard
Tbh..I only ever cared about winter storms or severe storms/hurricanes (snowfall amounts, hail, wind gusts)..and never about how much non-frozen liquid falls.
However, I may get one now that I'm a seasoned, grizzled amateur.
lower cape kinda got screwed both days..and the drought has been terrible down there too. Boston/NW another screw zone. The Portsmouth RI/Westport area got really screwed as well..but otherwise a good chunk of the region did well
Yes I was wrong. Once the mets started talking about the convective potential and the scattered nature, I backed off a bit. Admittedtly, Stein has gotten to me emotionally at times.
GEFS, GFS OP do, and to a lesser extent the Euro OP
Though the EPS, GEPS don't really show much of a cooldown. EPS is more of a mild-down late next week
