Because it's harder to wake up when it's dark for most people I'd imagine, for me at least, and I think most people would rather see some light when leaving for work in the morning.

Thank God for that. Leaving the house at 6:30 to darkness is not fun.

I actually think the slight east jog is a tiny blessing as Negril and Montego Bay might get spared the absolute worst in terms of wind, the rain is going to be a big story either way.

It looks like it's actually expanding as it approaches Jamaica, fascinating and frightening all at once.

Long springs, long summers, short falls and winters have been the theme of the 2020s. Even early October is part of extended summer nowadays.

Did you see the scenes in Queens? You don't want that

Yep, been pouring here the last 45 minutes with plenty of lightning and thunder. Concerning trends based on the radar and what we're hearing from our friends west of us

Huge downpour in Whitestone with very gusty winds, no lightning or thunder. Edit: Winds are insane now and thunder commencing Edit #2: And now it's over 5 minutes later. Very Florida-like storm

Just had the longest hottest 5 minute wait at the bus stop ever, no shade with the late afternoon sun beating down on us. Hell on earth.

Feels real cold this morning. Longing for the warm, sunny days.

Was outside about a half hour ago and the temperature dropped like a rock within.a matter of seconds. Don't remember ever experiencing that

It was the end of our Golden Era of snow 2000-2018, feels like a lifetime ago now. 6 of 7 have been below normal since then and well below normal at that. Only 2 notable months in those 7 years, Feb 21 and Jan 22. Been some real lean times in the snowfall department. Even in a relatively cold winter like this one, only roughly 10-20 inches locally.

Had a Spring being right around the corner feel today, feels like it's been a long relatively cold winter compared to so many warm winters in the last decade so needless to say that today felt really nice, made me feel more alive. Long story short, bring on Spring.

It's been a pretty decent winter all things considered. Not a blockbuster by any means to say the least and some wasted potential but it's like a funeral in here as if this is '11-'12.

This logical post will get lost among a sea of winter cancel posts sadly. Still too early to dismiss this
