11 Years Later, Similar Weather

Today is the 11th anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks on the U.S.  No matter how many years pass by all Americans will remember this day for a number of reasons.  I will never forget my experience on this day.  I was nowhere near New York, but I still watched the whole event unfold in high school as I switched from class to class.  I remember one of my teachers being highly effected by the event because her husband was in New York City.

Seeing the two metallic birds crash into standing statues was life changing during a beautiful fall-like day took away from the actual weather that was going on.  What was the weather like during the whole event?  It actually was a lot like it is on its 11th anniversary.  Mostly clear with a few clouds and a northerly wind.  The temperatures are about the same except for JFK Airport where it is slightly warmer today than it was 11 years ago.  The dew point, however, is much lower today than it was 11 years ago.

Weather played a big part in the event because if it wasn't as beautiful as it was from the previous passage of a cold front then it most likely wouldn't have happened.

In honor of all the men and women who perished on this day 11 years ago and all those who fought to save several lives as the event unfolded and after all the damage was done, I dedicate this to you and those who were affected by it by losing family and friends.

Go outside today and enjoy this miraculous weather that has been blessed upon us in New York City and across the nation.
