  1. Swamp Ass season has officially arrived
  2. That was as good a weather weekend as we can ask for. Now....we bake
  3. That's been the only negative of it being somewhat "cooler" since Memorial Day weekend is that it's not ideal for beach goers so as an avid beach goer I'm all for some 90 degree days in our future but also as an avid Midtown Manhattan worker that likes to take long walks during lunch and he outside in general not looking forward to the Swamp Ass, as the illustrious @MJO812likes to put it, Days that lie ahead.
  4. I can't for the life of me understand why anybody would prefer high heat and humidity. The weather we've had the last week or so has been perfect. I don't mind some hotter days if I'm going to the beach or be on the water but otherwise, it's just uncomfortable.
  5. Damn, some loud shotgun thunder here in midtown.
  6. Same here in Queens, absolutely pouring the moment I got on the bus thank god. Pitch dark also
  7. First day since last October that it really felt like summer from early morning to night and it's wonderful, makes you feel alive after days of muck. Unfortunately, there's more muck to come before we hit full summer.
  8. I don't think so. You really think Anthony is trolling? I genuinely believes he likes this weather, same with Hoodie Guy. He gets weenied and made fun of every time he says he likes this weather and it always baffled me. To each their own is what I say but that's just me, it's all in good fun I suppose.
  9. Personally I hate this weather but why does it bother some of you that others like it? Not everybody is a warm weather fanatic even in Spring.
  10. Back to back beauties yesterday and today. Too bad that we go back into the soup by Wednesday.
  11. Just about pitch dark in midtown right now. I was so busy at work that I forgot about the eclipse so I told a co-worker that it wasn't supposed to rain today so I don't know why it's so dark then he told me it's the eclipse and needless to say that I felt like a dummy haha.
  12. I don't know if it's been mentioned but...4.8 earthquake and the eclipse is on....4/8
  13. Where's Kevin Bacon when you need him?
  14. That would break the richter scale.
  15. Ok, I can't be the only one that felt that. I was just saying to people at work, what the hell was that? Edit: I see that all you guys felt it too. Wild
  16. No it's not. You guys are being dramatic. Who knows if we'll see a period like 2000-2018 in our lifetimes again (likely not) but to say that snowy winters won't exist anymore is hyperbolic. The cold and snowy combo might be harder to come by though but we will have above normal snow winters again.
  17. Rain is relentless. Over 2" here
  18. My favorite time of year sportswise. March Madness, playoffs around the corner for the NBA and NHL, NFL draft, start of baseball and the weather starting to get warmer livening up the mood in general.
  19. This morning felt freaking freezing mainly because our bodies got accustomed to warmer temperatures. In a "normal" mid to late March or what used to be normal, this wouldn't feel as cold. Last week and this past weekend were beauties, lets get back to that please.
  20. The SSTs will also fuel bigger storms so while winters will warm, we should experience more bigger storms. More winters like '05-'06 and '15-'16 and less like '13-'14 and '14-'15. We really need a cooperative pacific for prolonged winter or the real big storms and that just hasn't happened for a long time. Eventually the warmer climate will likely be so overwhelming that relatively snowless winters will be the norm but I don't think that'll happen in our lifetime. A snowy period will occur again.
  21. Not just that but 5 straight 30+ inch seasons to close out the 2010s and this is Central Park measurements. We were truly spoiled in the 2000s and 2010s so eventually the pendulum was going to swing in the other direction and ... here we are. I don't think this is the new norm snowwise, it's just a down cycle.
  22. Only about 2" here but it's a pretty snow. Looks like the Central Jersey folks did quite well.
  23. 2016 was kind of a fluke. It was a nothing winter saved by one massive storm, sort of like '05-06. The difference in perception with 2016 is that it was smack dab in the middle of the snowiest 20 year period in history or close to following 2 great winters and my personal favorite '14-'15 so it was ok to have a down winter, relatively. When you have 2 winters in the previous 4 at below 5" (at Central Park at least), it makes another ratter a tough one to deal with. Personally, as much as I love snow, I care less about cold winters as I get older and I'm not really that old so if we're not going to snow, bring on spring.
