I just saw the car-sized drone fly over my house in White Plains, NY. I am close to the corner of Davis Avenue and Prospect Street. It had red flashing lights, and was making a pretty loud humming sound.” Little does he know, there’s a drone base aka Westchester County Airport, nearby. This shouldn't happen any more since we are now a restricted airspace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn I must have caught that too, I was sick for 2 weeks and had to take a really strong antibiotic. Just starting to get better now. The worst part was the jaw pain I couldn't even eat solid food because it hurt so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastalplainsnowman Posted Saturday at 09:10 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:10 PM What do we consider the 'official' definition of a White Christmas? Would it be defined as any December 25th in which the official snowcover is measured at greater than 0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibertyBell Posted Monday at 01:52 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:52 PM It's too bad we don't have a 2024 reminiscing thread, but since the year is coming to an end we should reflect on the top events (not necessarily weather related) of 2024. Here are my top 3 1. The amazing northern lights display we saw down here in October, once in a lifetime !! 2. The earthquake back in April and the aftershock later that same day, wow!! 3. October pitched a perfect game with 0 rainfall here and was the perfect backdrop to that wonderful northern lights display in the same month !! Added onto this the longest rainless streak of my lifetime, 42 days or 6 full weeks !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted Monday at 03:50 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:50 PM If it takes a bridge to get there, it doesn't exist. The universe consists of LI and the void. OC (and NYC) are imaginary places. I don't get why people from imaginary places can't understand this. Now go back to enjoying your fake snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volcanic Winter Posted Monday at 04:16 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:16 PM Iceland in winter is awesome!! https://imgur.com/a/NcMT77O We did four nights in Reykjavik to capture the Xmas vibes then moved out to the country where it became a total winter wonderland. At one point we had like 36 hours of steady light to moderate snowfall without any substantial wind (somewhat rare) - absolutely perfect conditions! About 18-28 degrees out there for most of the trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That October display here really was unbelievable, not something we’ll see topped for a long time if ever. The sky here was vivid pink and purple… It seemed like the sun shut off soon after they declared solar maximum, or at least activity died down quite a bit while we were in Iceland. On top, the sky was cloudy with precipitation for most of our trip - so it wasn’t a great Aurora trip. Thankfully we had tons of snow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're ever in Reykjavik and looking for a night out hit up Kaffibarinn. I now have couches I can crash on in Reykjavik because of a drunken drug fueled night at that bar. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had snow inland too-but rain in the city and near the airport on the last day...no above ground power lines too much wind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
