famartin Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 How's your redwood and sequoia? Sequoia is fine. Redwood couldn't handle two severe winters in a row, I'm afraid. Might've helped if it had been a bit stronger. I Might try again in NJ, but am already trying again here in Virginia (and that won't be as easy as it sounds... Out here by Dulles is just as cold and wintry as at my parents.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Philly sub-forum is so dead, the deadest of the regional sub-forums. No posts for nearly a week. Maybe now, the admins will realize, it might be time to merge it back in with NYC.Didn't help when Tombo and Amp jumped ship. Even here is much less active without Earthlight. Hope the grass is as green on the other side as they thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 You guys have to remember that we are exiting the time of year that historically has the lowest board participation, and it would still be very inactive if not for the Tropics heating up. People will start to fill in during September when all the Winter speculation begins and then by October this place will be busy again. I do agree on the merging back with Philly, but if you remember they did a survey back last Winter and they voted not to join back with us.

famartin Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 While I agree it will get busier, its pretty obvious that no sub-forum is more unused than Philly. Otherwise, there'd be more posts in the last 6 days than the 0 that there have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Might try again in NJ, but am already trying again here in Virginia (and that won't be as easy as it sounds... Out here by Dulles is just as cold and wintry as at my parents.) Dulles is more similar to Trenton's winter than Reagan National, but TTN is still colder/snowier.

I might be looking at incorrect data, but here's what I'm seeing: January Average High / Low Trenton 38.5 / 23.5 Dulles 42.5 / 23.9 February Trenton 42.1 / 25.6 Dulles 46.4 / 26.0 December Trenton 43.2 / 27.8 Dulles 46.0 / 27.1 TTN DJF mean minimum: 25.6 IAD DJF mean minimum: 25.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I mean the actual yearly min (lowest of the year). Maybe you can't call it up, but sub-zero has been considerably more common at IAD than at TTN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you can't call it up, but sub-zero has been considerably more common at IAD than at TTN. Interesting. I wonder if that's merely a product of being further west in longitude and more inland. The difference in elevation isn't significant (210ft vs. 312ft). However, there are numerous locations in the Central Plains at latitudes quite a bit further south than us that have lower yearly minima, so it makes sense. The interior location of the site probably plays the largest role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interior location of the site probably plays the largest role. Interesting, maybe it could be cause it's more inland like you said. Funny thing is, there's times where Northern Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee can be just as cool, if not cooler than where I am. And I'm not talking about the Appalachians either, the lower elevation suburbs really cool down well. The mountains are a different story altogether. Honestly I think Trenton has a better chance for snow, but last year Dulles got exceptionally cold with multiple sub zero I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about exact location of TTN, but I know Dulles is kind of in the middle of nowhere..esp to the west of the airport. Maybe TTN is in a more urbanized area. IAD is well west of this area though, equivalent of central PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe TTN is in a more urbanized area. IAD is well west of this area though, equivalent of central PA. I answered why I think the difference exists above, but as far as urbanity, Dulles has rapidly been encroached by development on all sides, so their urban-ness is now pretty similar.
