The Halloween 2019 Significant Flooding and High Wind Event
Never forget the 2019 Halloween storm that washed out many Adirondack Roads, some of which weren't fully repaired for another year.
Sun Angle and Temperature
On October 28th, the maximum sun angle is 34.1 degrees, but the average high is 55 degrees.
In contrast, on February 15th, the maximum sun angle is 34.8 degrees but the average high is 35 degrees.
So the sun is higher in the sky in mid-February then late October, but it’s cooler.
Why? Because the earth retains heat, it causes the average temperature to lag about 22 days behind the angle of sun.
