Dr. Jeff Masters' WunderBlog

NEWX Im on Southern Tip of Staten Island, NYC
right where Raritan Bay meets the Arthur Kill

Actually up to 48 now
was 42 when I got MSA out of bed this morning

Sorry vortfix. I am guessing that this flooding was related at least peripherally to the southern trough associated with Noel combined with the tropical wave that resulted in that near-depression coming onshore farther south. I was unaware of these conditions until reading that small Guardian article today. Hopefully Dr. Masters can fill us in in his next blog.

Cool
Didn't know Google can do that!

Im right hereLink

Vort, were you there for Frances and Jeanne?

DUH

I didn't do that did I???

I'm around here.....

I think you need a few more golf clubs around your area.

morning all, well La Nina being this strong, I worry about the drought areas, if the SE does stay dry, how bad is it going to be by the time we get to the wet season again?

I worry about the drought as well JP! Lake O is still 5 feet below normal and starting to drop already. Dry season is upon us, a La Nina dry season that is.

Vortfix - From your map I must have driven nearly by your house dozens of times, as I always like to take the "scenic route" down A1A when coming from my home in Satellite Beach to visit relatives in Boca Raton. You live in an exceptionally beautiful area...but if I recall correctly, it was also near ground zero in 2004 for Frances.

I like the way you think

Amazing isn't it Vort!

LOL

Took the Stupid pill this morning by mistake

Oh yeah.....Frances the slo-mo Bimbo and Jeanne! Both right up the inlet!




I was about three miles from you during Jeanne...drinking beer and going "oh sh#$" and "wow" a lot...

guygee, I agree...A1A rocks...

See? We could have combined coolers...LOL

NWS Melbourne, FL has
archived Florida Dry Season Storm Tracks
They only go back to 01-02 so far, '99-00 would be closer to what we are looking at coming up.

Love the A1A drive, Floodman, beats the drudgery and danger of I-95. I'll take the extra 30-45 minutes to enjoy the view (especially crossing those causeways near where vortfix lives). Then for me its usually St. Lucie Blvd to Indian St. to 76 and finally to I-95 heading south.

vortfix - I only know your area due to much wandering. I think I did the circle around St Lucie Blvd and "old" St. Lucie Blvd 3 times on one trip before I figured it out, LOL.

Some of the neighborhoods south of Riviera Beach always looked a little les than savory to me, but I've driven the whole thing a nimber of times and it's awesome...'specially with the top down

ROTFLMAO...I did the same thing...WTF? How do I...where is...?!? Crap!

Floodman - I've done the full route down A1A taking me through Riviera Beach too, and I recall that area always seems to have some thin scantily-dressed women slowly walking down Route 1 even in broad daylight, more of a symptom of what is west of there I imagine, so yeah, not necessarily an area I would want to detour into for a lunch break.

morgen freunds!
I got some freaky weather happening right now...sun-sleeting.
the low that was supposed to pass through got stuck behind a stationary front and this nice clipper is dragging things on a bit. Anyone with ideas of when that stationary front will break up? from the looks of it I'm getting SW/WSW winds all day. doesnt turn W/ NW until tomorrow...

Top down....you go Flood!



The last time I was in FL for fun (and not wowrk) I was going to rent a little non-descript car jst to get around...had the one of the worast flights of my lofe, got into Orlando late, in a driving rain storm...got to the rental desk and the guy told me they were out of what I had rented, but would I mind a yellow 'stang rag top instead...I told him "yeah, uh huh...did I not brush the hayseeds off me before I got on the plane?"

Got to the spot expecting a 2001 POS, and found...a brand new yellow 'stang convertible...WOOT! I ran some roads that trip!

A lunch break is all good there.




Got to try that one next time I'm in...always ask the locals where the best food is, and dude, I can definitely ALWAYS go for BBQ

Hey flood, don't mess with the scantily dressed girls in Riviera....theyr'e either undercovers or gonna give you a surprise!!!!!!
