Guest Pamela Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 85F. There's a significant difference between 85 and 90. Most of us only average about 15-19 90 degree days per year. Islip & Upton are only about 82 F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between 85F and 90F is hardly significant, it's barely discernible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 The difference between 85F and 90F is hardly significant, it's barely discernible. I think he means statistically, we often count the days of 90 or higher every year but many times it falls just short so you end up with like 20-25 vs say 30-35. A lot of those days are 88-89 or just short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doncat Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 The difference between 85F and 90F is hardly significant, it's barely discernible. Talking about mean temps... for example a 76 degree mean in July would be average but a 71 degree mean would be near record territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pamela Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It's a running gag we've had related to his avatar for many years now. It started during the terrible winter of 1934. You know Ed, its funny...but all one need do is consult the Biographical Survey: 2006 (the last one they published) to see that everything I said was indeed true. Though currently out of print...you can probably pick up a copy at the Exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Any snow coming up? The 24,084 hour CFS shows a monster getting ready to nail the whole Northeastern corridor. It might be dicey for the coast though, looks like it could be a coastal hugger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 You know their is a lot more to weather in this area than snow. It's like if it's not snowing and cold all winter long and sunny and warm all summer long then it's a fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDMK6GLI Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I really miss tracking storms Outside of winter and a very rare rogue sandy like storm they're really isnt much to track from NJ-east. Severe storms are all but none existent and once spring closes out widespread dumping rains become alot more sparse. Besides heat waves and garden variety/brief severe cells from may-october they're really isnt anything exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either we're missing a trigger and the storms don't form or they die out as the move east or reform and blast monmouth county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this area ever truly saw a severe weather outbreak with tornados, large hail and damaging winds, similar to what occurred in Alabama and Mississippi last week, a majority of people here would crap their pants.

Usually when I think severe in this part of the country its small hail and 45-50 mph wind gusts, not truly severe weather or our once a decade derechos. I don't even care if its severe, I just like thunderstorms, especially at night..heavy rain lots of thunder and lightning. So rare these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last years "epic" severe setup was nill because the lapse rates were very poor and we also had cells pop up ahead the derecho that killed it when it got to NJ. I got some rain and lightning and that was it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, not many people know what to do when an actual tornado is going to bear down on their home. Im surprised when i talk severe weather preparedness how many people say other stuff when how to take cover over what your suppose to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
