Rjay Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 NSFW. Excessive "broing" and cursing. I can't guarantee this is from Sandy, but it's from Sandy.... What else could it be. Storm surge somewhere in the Rockaways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Not sure if anyone missed it, but northshorewx.com is back up after being down for several weeks.. There is a new web hosting company now. Everything is identical, but if you've ever linked a page or an image, some links may not work due to the fact that the new UNix hosting platform is case-sensitive (uc/lc didn't matter under the old windows hosting). The content still hasn't been updated in a while, but I now have an option to convert this to a Word Press site when I get time to think of how I can organize the old content. In the meantime it's gotten harder to update since it's now all flat HTML (was ancient asp script on the former hosting platform). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been changing the filters in the AC unit in the building he works in every other day and a bunch of the employees have been staying there at night because they can at least get uninterrupted sleep because the air is better than at home. They were expecting at least a little rain last night hoping it would put the smoke down for a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cfa Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I hope we can manage a Xmas Eve 2013 redux. Very unexpected, spur of the moment storm that dropped 5 inches in 30-40 minutes only a few hours before Xmas. That was my first white Xmas. I was on the LIE at the time, it went from nothing to heavy snow instantaneously, like we entered a haboob. I'd never seen snow pile up so quickly, felt like a scene from out west. Of the 6543578 major winter storms we've had in recent times, none have come close to those rates for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is no substitute for a good -AO or -NAO. My favorite winter storms of the 2010's in 10-11 and Jan 16 were all -AO/-NAO driven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The Perseids are one of the more consistent meteor showers in terms of activity from one year to the next. To be the "biggest ever in history", it would need to produce a ZHR of around 200,000, seeing as observers have reported 50+ meteors *per second* in the bigger Leonids outbursts. With the moon as bright as it is, expect to see a couple dozen meteors per hour tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
