We lived in Pt Jervis, NY, about 90 miles NW of NYC. For all intents and purposes that town is a flood zone. It’s located where the Delaware and Neversink Rivers meet. The word Neversink comes from an Algonquin phrase meaning, quite appropriately at times, raging river. This indicates that there must be some accounting in the local Native folklore of severe flooding in the area long before the Dutch and English settled there. We would get all kinds of weather, cold winters, hot summers, blizzards, flooding, even an occasional tornado. And since we moved from there we’ve heard the last few years they’ve been getting “frost on the pumpkin” which is very unusual there. South of the Catskils it usually doesn’t get that cold until just before Thanksgiving.
Thanks for the mention. I’m not familiar with the weather in that region, so the report was helpful.
Here the weather was 5 to 15 degrees colder than normal for the first six months of the year. It’s been mild since.
I should say, mild in general. We have had some ninety and 100 degree weather, but it hasn’t been a true summer season like it generally is. It’s milder > IMO.
