Weather: Nasty Day! October 28, 2008

JCRegister — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 12:37:58 +0000

I hope you are wearing sweater and coat as it’s going to be windy again! At around 8AM today, it was still dark like it’s early dawn.

Did you bring your umbrellas? I hope it is a strong one, otherwise it won’t work against the strong gust of wind which the forecast said will be stronger than the previous one (last Saturday).

So expect a messy commute today, and leave early to arrive at your destination on time. And if you are driving like me, be careful out there. I already saw one accident at the corner of Academy Street and Bergen Avenue (Journal Square area of Jersey City) on the northbound lane.

Weather: Rain! October 25, 2008

It’s only 500PM as of this writing, but it’s already dark here in Jersey City. Forecasts say that it’s going to rain for the rest of the day. You probably can hear the wind blowing hard right now.

Do you need weather.com or TV to tell you the weather?

This is old science, but one can predict the weather by observing the birds — pigeons for example. I noticed the pigeons this afternoon flying around Journal Square instead of sitting and chilling on the edge of Martin Luther King, Jr School, so I took a snap using my phone.

Despite the bad weather today, tomorrow (October 26, 2008) will be the exact opposite. We will experience sunshine, with temperature hovering between high 40′s and low 60′s.

Take care if you are going outside! (Watch for the trees!)
