September 2022 Observations and Discussions

Great down pour here from about 7:10 until 7:25ish, closed the underpass to the train tracks cause of flooding, which means nothing since any downpour closes that area. BUT it caused all kinds of traffic problems making over 1/4 of the 1400 students late!!

Next round this afternoon!! That when the cold air comes crashing in woop wooop!

BRING IT BABY!!

About the same here for rain. 66 out there

ok so the dark ominous clouds are rolling in. getting breezy too...

Mom, Alexa says you are 78 miles away and 80? If so that is a 17 degree difference

Just had a round of heavy showers roll through. Looks like at least a couple more hours of off-and-on showers before it should start to clear out late afternoon.

Breezy, cloudy, and 65* in Parsippany. Down from low/mid 70s a few hours ago.

Raining on my side of town! (Route 10 side of town.).

Woke up to thunder and lightning and a downpour around 6:30 am.  Then the sun came out for a little while, but it’s been raining most of the day so far.

Just had another round of heavy downpour for abut 10-15 minutes. Front comes through around 2PM.

Wind Chills anyone??? Never to early

Well sir the gusts lost their shyness. Gusts up to 30 mph with 15 mpj steady

47 Fall like degrees and clear.Winds have calmed down from last evening.Wonderful week of 40's-60's in store.Looks like the 80's may be gone save for a few in October or November when Indian, er, I mean,Indigenous Peoples's Summer makes it's obligatory return.

46 here. No frost on the pumpkin yet, doc.

Won't be long now Damian.

Maybe tomorrow morning upstate peeps may see some patchy frost.

49* here for my low, last time was May.
One of the shorter timeframe between 40's that I can remember

50* for the low this morning! currently 59* very breezy 20mph

Frosty is coming to town for the upstaters!!

Great sleeping weather last night made down to 49° first time hitting 40

We went down to 46!!

It was 39 up here at about 5:30 this morning.

44* for my low, wife put heat on 62* in bedrooms and 65* main floor.

I have our oil locked up like Fort Knox

Same here.Did a boiler test yesterday morning, temp was 40.
Gorgeous day yesterday, wife and I had dinner outside up in Warwick.Noticing more color on the trees up here.40's-60's is such a great temp spread for the day.
Rain coming in later today, tonight and tomorrow but a great stretch after that.

I totally understand that oil is super expensive and when you own a house you have to conserve. This is one thing I like about a apartment building where it is included. I bet they wish they didn't put that in the leases now. Heat was on yesterday morning per my wife I was out, was chilly. Nice day though. The heat here is steam heat and honestly it gets too hot and since the radiators are under windows (what genious thought that up?) it causes major condensation and mold to form unless you are constantly cleaning the paint around the windows like 5x a day. Anyone know if there is something that can prevent this? Also love when it gets so cold that icicles start to form inside from the moisture.

49 degrees, cloudy calm.

J Man, I had a steam system for 35 years in my home in Mahwah.Best system ever IMO as those radiators stay warm for 1/2 hour after the boiler shuts down.
Do you notice steam rising from the valve on the radiator up onto the window? if so, another valve that reduces the steam flow could stop that.The landlord could do that.Other than that, keep the curtains or blinds down overnight.
Yep, your landlord will not be happy with the energy bill,lol.The old statement "so you want to be a landlord"? comes to mind.Not for me,lol.
