Yes, but I was pointing out earlier that is offset by our surpression of fires which is also a human endeavour.

In the west perhaps.  In the East I would estimate that humans have introduced far more fire than they have suppressed.  I think that's borne out by the 99% of fires in NJ which are not natural (versus the greater than 50% in the west that are natural).

I know isotherm disagrees but I still think Monmouth Cty sees a lot more strong to severe storms than areas to the north

We've been bullseye d a lot down here for the last 5 years

At both ends. T storms and winters.

Been a good run.

I can count on one hand the number of times I've ever seen hail here in Long Beach. The strongest winds in the thunderstorms we get are often with the outflow boundaries as they die off over NYC. It's really amazing how infrequently we ever see any kind of severe weather here.

Since 2010 , There`s a controller out at the front of my property  that has been hit by lighting 2x in the last 3 years 

blowing it out .

I have seen more Hail in CNJ in the last 4 years than I saw my whole life in Brooklyn and Long Island . 

It turned out to be a pretty cool place to have moved to for some crazy weather .

This!! It's unreal but once you get north of Hempstead Turnpike/Old Country Rd in our county it's a different story.

I remember seeing the massive anvil top for the T-storm that stalled over Garden City/Mineola in the summer of 2010, which dumped hail for an hour and tremendous rain. It was bright and sunny on the LB Boardwalk, with the seabreeze kicking up. Besides that thunderhead on the sea breeze front it was a perfectly tranquil day. You could see lightning bolts occasionally shooting through the cloud-you could tell it was intense.

The only time that I saw 3/4 inch hail in Long Beach was with the Labor Derecho in 1998. There was one other time 

since then that I saw pea sized hail. Labor Day was the only 3/4 inch hail and severe wind combined in a single

event. There was one day during the early 90's when a cold pool isolated severe thunderstorm hit Long Beach.

I was at Waldbaums Plaza and a very small cell popped just to our north and knocked down trees in the center

of town. It was  intense local microburst gusting to close to 60 mph with the isolated cell.

 

My car is happy that we missed the hail core in the August 2011 record breaking event.

There was also a thunderstorm about two years ago that caused damage from hail to cars around the north shore

I was at work in New Hyde Park when hail the size of golf balls and occasionally baseballs fell for an extended period. That storm parked itself north of old country Rd to south of rt 25a in Nassau for a good hour or so. My car was under an awning thank god.

The amount of snow in Marquette Michigan this April (31.7 inches) is almost higher than the mean temperature so far this April there (32.8 F).  They had an extreme low of -5 F there this month.  Very severe April in the U.P. which would hint at a poor agricultural season upcoming in that region...whatever farming is actually conducted up there.

Incredible to see deep snowpack in the northern UP still. The frozen Lake Superior has allowed temps near the coast of the UP to remain quite chilly compared to further inland. I was shocked to check Marquette's weather to find 38 degree highs this past weekend. It's still mid winter up there. Has to be record breaking.

 

Snowpack also remains in the northern part of Maine.

38 degree highs are not "mid winter" for Marquette.  Its actually just as unusual for Marquette to reach 38 in January as it is for New York City to reach 60 in January.

Pretty sure they're blooming in central Jersey.

 

Cool.  Not even close here.  Enjoying the last few days of unfettered access to the skies here.  Leafout usually starts the first few days of May and the dogwoods flower a couple of weeks later.

 

Ground cover has been greening up here, the early flowering trees (magnolias, redbuds and maple) have flowered, but the canopy still has a winter look.
