donsutherland1 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 1 hour ago, etudiant said: No argument, but surely the responsibility for the integrity of the weather records falls on the NWS. Imho, the Conservancy in this instance is an innocent bystander, they have no dog in this fight. As an aside, the site is really smothered, there is a 70 foot or so tree just to the east, along with the sheltering shrubbery, which really surrounds the fenced in site proper. I'd love to envision a control plot sited nearby without the vegetation. It could really help determine the impact of site overgrowth. I don’t agree that the Conservancy is an “innocent bystander.” The NWS has no jurisdiction beyond the equipment. It cannot contract work crews to trim the trees.

bluewave Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Tree pruning is a low priority for NYC. Maybe the NWS knew this all along. So they never really pushed the issue of trimming around the Central Park ASOS. https://www.thecity.nyc/2020/7/13/21323732/budget-cuts-raise-fears-of-falling-tree-branches Tree Pruning Budget Cuts Raise Fears of Falling Branches BY CARSON KESSLER JUL 13, 2020, 11:42PM EDT The city’s canopy of more than 2.6 million street and park trees will have to wait for scheduled prunings due to new budget cuts — a move slammed by a former Parks Department commissioner as “foolish” and dangerous. The Fiscal 2021 Executive Plan includes a budget reduction of $7.2 million for tree pruning contracts, leaving about $1.5 million for the job. City trees are generally trimmed every seven to 10 years. Park advocates and government officials, pointing to past incidents where people were severely injured — or worse — by plummeting branches, sounded the alarm over the cuts. “The problem with not pruning is if a limb falls from a tall tree, it can cause tremendous damage. It can kill people,” said Adrian Benepe, who served as Parks commissioner from 2002 to 2012. “It’s a meaningless cut that could cause damage both to the trees and to people.” After the city slashed tree-pruning funding in 2010, tree-related injury claims soared. By delaying pruning contracts, the city saved $1 million — but settlement costs neared $15 million, records show. “One bad tree limb fall wipes out all your savings,” said Benepe. “This saving is pennywise and pound foolish.” During 2010, the city pruned less than 30,000 street trees — 50,000 fewer trees than the year before. Full funding for the Parks pruning program wasn’t restored until FY2013 when the 10-year pruning cycle was reinstated. Claims for injuries caused by trees increased by 92% — from just under 400 claims to over 700 — during the period of reduced pruning and maintenance. In some community districts outside Manhattan claims increased by 590%, according to a 2015 ClaimStat report by City Comptroller Scott Stringer. In 2015, Stringer told the City Council that there is a direct correlation between million-dollar legal claims and the amount of money the city allocates for tree pruning each year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Park is maintained by the Central Park Conservancy which has its own budgets and employees. (I have a coworker who worked as a horticulturist there and insists it’s incredibly corrupt).

wdrag Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 No topics but fwiw... noted on what I call modest svr wx events of late May/early June. Heavy showers/thunderstorms seem in store for parts of NJ/se NYS maybe NYC 4-10P Monday (PW 1.5") , possibly something predawn Tue, then it should light up 1130A-130P Tuesday. PW up to 1.8" Tuesday. . Modeling after Tue suggests more Wed, and possibly FRI? This will probably further assist alleviating dryness in parts of our area, presuming 1-5" rain occurs in parts of the subforum by sunrise Saturday the 12th. Could be iso svr via wet microburst potential Tuesday but winds aloft are fairly weak with TT marginal ~47-48. I did note the tropical rains trying to involve the northeast around 280-340 hours (~19th), and a couple of cycles of this. We'll see if this can hold as we close in on D7 (144 hrs) - not worth losing sleep over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may have been other events which were also close to 10 that fell between the major recording stations. I remember August 2011 well, that rain would never stop falling!
