pazzo83 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I do realize that a negative NAO swing is not the same in April or May as it would be in January or February, however, just looking at the long range GFS, the barrage of lows continues. If anything, that western Atlantic ridge shifts further offshore allowing the storm track to shift a tad further south. It definitely wants to rain this spring. Oh well, at least by this point it will be warm. Maybe we'll have increased severe chances with this set up. I'm trying to be glass-half-full now.

CooL Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 The NAO forecast and the GFS have both busted horribly over the past 3-4 weeks. The NAO was supposed to go way negative 2 weeks ago and it has stayed positive. Not that it means much with our precip/temps as we head into may but the cold shots/-nao will keep getting delayed and delayed if they ever happen. And the storm track has shifted west (severe wx season).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Whatever happens, I hope the weather is nice the first 10 days of May. Ma Nature has been relatively nice to me the last few years, so hopefully she stays nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Glad the dense fog held off til nightfall here-- it was actually almost as warm as yesterday here and just as humid lol. The afternoon was nice and sunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I wish I think Unc has these stats somewhere, but back in 1964 I believe LGA recorded sleet on Memorial Day or somewhere around there. I think it was our latest period of wintry precip. Someone might want to check that to make sure. I wonder what the temps were during that storm and what kind of storm it would take to produce sleet or snow down here on Memorial Day lol.

Do you like putting on AC in the last week in April so you can sleep at night? If you didn't do that last night good for you but if you did that really is pathetic to have to do that at this time of year and is not worth all the perks you get by having the warmth around considering costs to cool a room. When you have to get up for work and have allergies, losing sleep or sleeping uncomfortably because of unseasonable warmth and being cost conscious is just not worth any benefit you get from warmth like last night at this time of year. Anyone who disagrees with that and actually enjoys suffering from allergies and sleeping uncomfortably at night at this time of year has got some serious issues. Last night was an example of why this kind of warmth at this time of year is absurd and impossible to enjoy. I did not put on the AC or Rotating fan because I refuse to do so at this time of year so I opened the windows in the bedroom hoping that would help all I got was dense humid air with no breeze and I am on the 27th floor of a 30 story building that has a south and west exposure. What kind of sick twisted mindset does a person have to have to enjoy that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in perfectly fine shape and take Zyrtec for my allergies so luckily the allergies weren't a problem for me last night. Yet, I still found it uncomfortable to sleep last night. Sorry it is not normal for someone who grew up in NY/NJ to sleep comfortably at night in 80 degree heat with insane humidity and no breeze coming in from the windows with the AC/fans off.

I just cannot see how anyone could actually want the conditions we had last night to try and sleep in at night. Are you from Florida or something? If you are then you are also an exception up here as you are adapted to those conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbc Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 It was in the upper 50s in the city, perfectly fine night! Lol. It most certainly was not that by me and I am just across the Hudson. It was low-mid 60's for the majority of the overnight hours with basically 100% humidity and 0 breeze on the 27th floor of a 30 story building. How exactly is that comfortable? Listen I like very warm weather just as much as anyone but I like it when it is in June, July and August and even in late May and early September not now.

When I woke up breifly to check, my thermometer showed low 60's at 2am. Humidity was really awful last night and when there's no breeze it is very uncomfortable to sleep.

I'll admit it go a little too warm in my coop as well. There was literally no wind to circulate the air. However if I had it my way my massive AC would be on full blast. Sadly, AC season doesn't start until May 1st for me, like most other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refuse to turn on the AC until I absolutely have no choice. Well I like my house like a refrigerator so if it gets too warm I don't hesitate to turn the AC on. Plus I read a study that said people in cooler apartments tend to be thinner since their bodies have to burn more energy to maintain their core body temperature. I guess my preferences also work in my favor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are an exception so good for you. I've slept through upper 80's & low 90's, that was disgusting. But 80 degrees is really nothing. It was only like 60 something degrees, that was comfortable to me. If we had a 60 degree low in the summer I'd probably be very cold. I think certain people can handle certain extremes better, I can't take the cold very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwang0725 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 The body acclimates. 80 in spring feels warmer than the 80 in summer. So true. 32 in Sept feels like 0, while 32 in Feb feels like a torch after a cold spell. It's all relative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
