OK … hmmm let’s see … just a few days ago, Boston experienced the warmest day on record 86 degrees so too for New York City, also reaching 86! It was very warm (summer-like) and sun-shinning beautiful. Lovely stuff. Recall for a moment, just a week prior to that – the Nor’easter of April 2007, ravaged much of the eastern have of the country with record rain, flooding, heavy snow, strong winds… homes were destroyed along the east coast for example in the northeast… power outages were widespread with an estimated 50000+ at one time without power in New Jersey… Quite the ride between very pleasant, agreeable weather and devastating active systems – it is such a dynamic mystery of sorts.

Yes, scientific investigation is powerful and a guiding instrument that gives us valuable insight about weather events to come…BUT Mother Nature is the ultimate POWER of course. Let the rain or sunshine come what may… That’s all we can do…accept and embrace the weather ride… the ups and downs… Just don’t get caught with your head down.
