Newspapers, TV (if you had one) and radio was your major 50’s news/information source. Out front, out back, the street for stickball was our summer joy, warm or hot just as long as you were out. Winter just like today, in the five boroughs, was pray for snow. I remember considering it a win if the ground was covered. We made due with slush balls as necessary but damn a direct hit was not pleasant. Basic memories of an old guy brought to the surface by a simple sentence. Thank you Dendrite, as always ….. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 36 minutes ago, kdxken said: Likely a springpole. They are a menace. Even when you know what you're doing. It's counterintuitive to cut where there's the most pressure . Elm and white oak spring poles are the worst (another reason not to cut elm). I usually hack them with a hatchet before I go in with the saw. Even when they don't spring. While gathering firewood west of Allagash Village, I encountered a horizontal sapling springpole (1-1.5" dia.) that blocked my access to a nice pole-size beech that had been bulldozed over during road building. I carefully cut the sapling from above (wrong way, but Game of Logging was yet to be developed) but it only "sprang" a couple inches and would swing like a turnstile. I bucked the tree and began tossing 4-foot pieces over the sapling and toward the pickup. The last piece was 5 feet, and at the but end, probably near 100 lb. As I tossed it forward, the far end caught the sapling, and at the end of my throw the strongly deflected "turnstile" slipped over the log and caught me squarely on the forehead. When the stars finally stopped circling, I realized how fortunate I had been - a hit that powerful anywhere on my head but where it struck would've been very destructive, possibly fatal. We actually had some sun, first in 3 days. Some storms in the area, though they look to slide by to the north. Rain isn't needed right now, but I like a noisy TS. Other than Feb 10 (when I was trying to protect food platters we were loading into the car for a church supper, so distracted from enjoying the storm), we've not had even a moderate TS since June 2022. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Central Park, only a very wet November prevented 1963 being the driest since records began there in 1869, pushing it back to 3rd place (temporarily). 1964 did break the record and 1965 had 6" less than '64. 1966 was tracking very close to '65 thru August - it's still NYC's driest met summer and 2nd only to 2010 for hottest. Then 4-6" fell on 9/21/66; one storm doesn't end a multi-year drought, of course, but from then on, we had normal to AN precip. The city's water managers breathed sighs of relief, as their massive reservoir system was down to a couple weeks' supply. In 1965, six states recorded their driest year, the 3 SNE states plus NJ, PA, DE. NY missed, as its Southern Tier counties' climo is considerably drier than the rest of the state, and its driest is in that region. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With big storms I would cut them out to "track" them by cutting it out day and flipping through them to see movement. My dad worked at GFDL and their supercomputer was the most powerful or one of the 2 or 3 most powerful in the world in the 70s and into the 80's- it used punch cards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Slowly the promised weekend Coc k has morphed into an ULL with dews in low- mid 60’s with scattered storms . Interesting to say the least 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Fantastic afternoon. 76/59 nice dry breeze and some Cu and Cirrus. For what it's worth the 12Z Euro has quite a lot of rain for me next week. Over 4". It's like looking at the clown maps in winter. I see people are talking about living in the 60s and 70s and weather stuff. I was born in 1956 and I was interested in weather as a kid. I'll have to post what it was like pre internet, satellite and radar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to say the least We’ll go with this from OKX, adjust for SNE accordingly: SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... Behind the frontal passage, a drier, more tranquil, regime sets up into this weekend. Surface high pressure over the Great Lakes Friday slides over the region Saturday, before shifting offshore Saturday night. Aloft, a lingering trough exits offshore and heights begin to quickly climb Saturday as ridging over the Upper Great Lakes translates eastward. Abundant sunshine expected both afternoons with perhaps a bit of diurnal cu development, but even this may be limited with subsidence from the nearby high. Temperatures will be quite seasonable for late July, with afternoon highs generally around the mid 80s, and parts of the urban NE NJ corridor getting into the upper 80s. The real difference however will be dew pts, largely in the 50s to near 60, which will allow much more comfortable conditions relative to the high humidity experienced much of this week. Overnight lows fall back into the 60s for most, though 50s are likely in parts of Orange Co and the LI Pine Barrens, with potentially decent radiative cooling conditions setting up. Dry conditions persist through this period. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torch Tiger Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I'd hedge towards low 60's dews late Sunday into Monday, but agree it's going to be a dry airmass for most of the time. We'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 That cut off low looks worse than it really is… I mean it’s only about 582 at nadir and because it’s happening at a very elevated ambient height field. In fact, that may not even represent below the middle levels and even if it does, it’s probably gonna be more east and south of it 18z gfs looked weaker yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
