Forky, doesn't Siberia generally have much lower temps than our side of the globe because of the larger land mass of Asia?  It's much rarer to see colder air on our side of the globe than what Siberia experiences- particularly the cold pole region of Yakutsk-Omyakon-Verkhoyansk.

Dozens of water rescues at Long Beach yesterday with this combination of summer in late September and the strong rip currents.

There were dozens of water rescues at the beach in Long Beach on Sunday despite warnings about rough waters and rip currents.

“It's the rip current from the hurricane that are out in the ocean, and the people should not be in the water when the lifeguards are not on duty,” Assistant Chief Long Beach Fire Department Rick Digiacomo said.

Though lifeguards were not on duty since it is after Labor Day, many of them were at the beach to help Long Beach Fire Department with rescues.

While the water was good for surfers, many said the waters were dangerous for the average swimmer.

“There’s a lot of undertow. These are hurricane waves, needless to say, they are very unassuming because it looks calm. But in actuality, there’s a tremendous pull on the water, you can get crushed in the water as we saw,” said Theodore Sampieri of St. James.

Long Beach fire officials say it’s best for all to stay out of the water when there are no lifeguards on duty.

The forests have gone very dry very quickly at the worst time of year for that to happen. The leaves are coming down adding fuel to the understory and there is no lush growth left to retard a fire if one were to start and with fewer leaves left in the canopy there is more air movement which would also help to facilitate fire growth. Places that were muddy just a few weeks ago are sandy and dusty now :(

We got really lucky with Gloria. There was an 8-9 foot storm surge along the LI South Shore which hit right near low tide. The actual tide levels were similar to Irene which had a 4-5 surge at high tide. The biggest story with Gloria was the power outages with some shoreline apartments and houses getting their roofs blown off in Suffolk.

Lived in the NW burbs of Philly-had the day off from school.  Mostly a big rainstorm there, little to no wind.   Got something like 6-8 inches of rain.  Forecast was a bust-storm was supposed to move up the DE Bay and across Philly forecasts were for 100MPH winds....which looking back makes little sense give climo.  The track it took (moving NNE off the coast) made much more sense.

Was still living at home...just some twigs and branches down, along with 3.50" of rain. I remember driving to my sisters house to bring her and my 6 month old niece  over to my moms...hard to believe that 32 years have past and that same niece had a baby 8 months ago to make me a great uncle...Time flies.
