Thank you. The sea breezes here remind me of the Long Island south shore. My first time living on the U.S. mainland. 9 hours ago, Brian5671 said: You are about 25 miles east of me. We fly out of HVN often it's very convenient. A little less snow out that way due to the greater influence of the open ocean east of LI but still decent compared to SE CT which often goes to rain first... Avelo looks like a nice small airline 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, living near the beach is beautiful. My parents live in Seaside Park. Bought a house in the 70’s here for like 70k at the time. They’re from Middlesex but then moved to Monmouth when they had me, and I got to grow up spending my summers in SSP surfing and whatnot. They were very lucky in Sandy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were very lucky in Sandy! Yeah, living near the shore is great. But the challenge on Long Island is summer traffic and lack of parking in places like Long Beach. Long Beach made a nice comeback after Sandy. Great restaurant scene and newer boardwalk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting tired of stomping those things. I haven't seen them in my yard yet but they are just a few miles south of me. They were all over the beach at Jones Beach when I was there a few days ago. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volcanic Winter Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Just got stung by a wasp . Little menace must’ve landed on my back while I took the trash out. Came inside, at least a couple mins later I felt something crawling on my back. Reached to it instinctually and immediately felt the sharp sting right through my shirt, and then it somehow stung my hand between my fingers too before falling on the floor… Good sized wasp, red and yellow, super ugly. Never been stung by one before and I have a huge welt, back feels like it’s on fire. Can’t lay down. Meh/10 do not recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom used to hang clothes on the line and one got in my pants. When I went to put them on I felt a sharp pain in my leg. Yes thankfully it wasn't any higher lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I stomped over 1000 today alone on the uws. They are here we are stuck with them. Bring on the waves from Franklin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etudiant Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 NYC had the Lantern Fly food tree planted everywhere. The 'Tree of Heaven' is a good choice for urban trees, resists pollution and abuse better than most native species. So the Lantern Fly arrived to a well set table, only ray of light is that our birds are getting a taste for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 A big rain would be a disaster right now with everything so saturated. I can appreciate extremes more than most but flooding and water damage sux. I realize that stomping lanternflies is useless at this point but damn they're annoying. It's just kind of therapeutic.

JerseyWx Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Why is everyone so against heat all of the sudden? A heat wave is pretty significant in September if it verifies, and we have the potential to rack up more 90's than we did in August. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm referring more to the "it's September now so it won't feel that hot," narrative and the whole idea that a stretch of +10 temps in the 90's aren't noteworthy.
