Some would just put an (ny) after the a. As always ......

Absolutely agree for S/NNE. No better place during meteorological winter to experience Currier and Ives. Tip with his pants off in a closed car is something else, although there could be a book, movie or reality show deal somewhere in there. As always.

Don, being old already, I find less to pick from. As always .......

In the future you can buy a retirement place in the NNE and become reverse snow birds. I would prefer coastal Maine to be near my beloved ocean. When the coldest snowiest weather occurs go out to the park and make snow angels. Afterwards keep your partner close and warm. Those benefits to the cold and snow are difficult to improve on no matter how long your married. As always ......

I was a freshman at Brooklyn Technical HS. From what I remember the 707 and the prop plane clipped one another over the Narrows. The prop crashed on Staten Island. Much less pre bridge population. The teachers were all in the halls with the news. Ours came back and gave us an update. I guess it could have been even worse considering the number of schools in the area. Not sure if that was the same year as the aircraft carrier Constellation fire. Again during a snow event. I remember watching my small B&W tv as John Tillman described the scene at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. I think he was with ABC news. Sad month for Brooklyn and SI but memories just the same.

Some of the songs I remember had themes that pertained to the youth issues of that time, I remember The leader of the pack,, I fought the law, ( not sure if that was the title or a refrain ) and the Eberly Brothers Wake up a little Suzy. For deeper messaged poetic songs, Simon aped Garfunkel were my favorites. I believe Eve Of Destruction was banned for a time. As always ...

Oh oh, Anthony has been S19teened keep him calm I’ll try to grab a hold of an exorcist. I hope JB is free. As always ....

My postage stamp UHI yard in the Hill/Hook has gone from wet to white to wet to white to wet to now white. It sort of like our NY Metro forum thread with at 69 foot model output tug of war between S88 and S19. As always ......

One of my favorites also. I liked lite message songs live smoke gets in your eyes, Tom Dooley, Leslie Gores, Downtown.. Manhattan Spiritual was a great wordless piece. Some of the radio MC’sin theearly sixties had good voices. HOA, Herb Oscar Anderson had a wonderful voice. Scott Muni also, I recall. As always ....

I enjoy our local metro area weather. It’s like having a puberty rerun. Where else can you be in the raining mid fifties, yet at the same time, be under a, just hours away, Winter Weather Snow Advisory. As always ......

Considering all the reaction he gets his bias seems to be well spent. Even so it’s only five time daily, that is until the powers, as per tradition, reduce it to zero. As always .....

Our forums spectrum has a wonderful range of colors. On one end you have S88 on the other S19 with 69 hues between them. One, two, three, four or no inches? Without the beloved Charles Shultz to consult with I can only offer one of his Charlie Brown quotes: “worrying won’t stop the bad stuff from happening, it just stops you from enjoying the good. Frankly, I feel it’s all good. As always .....

At that time I remember a the Fugazy Cadillac dealer had some kind of contest with a substantial award if the storm snow total went over 20 inches. I remember the initial measurement zoo folk coming in, conveniently a little under 20 inches. I didn’t know a dry slot from a wet slot ( no snickering youngsters ). I just remember that my let it snow 24 inch upright measure board completely disappeared in my postage stamp back yard. “ Those were the days my friends, we thought they’d never end”. As always ......

There was a weather lady that would play the ukulele at the end of the forecast. I can’t remember her name. She may have been the one that Tex married.Tex would drop snippets of his upcoming marriage even to the point of saying they were going to Greece for the honeymoon. I believe the news anchor at that time was Roger Grimsby. As always ......

I only remember him complimenting Wethafella back then, he said he was the finest weather hobbyist he ever encountered. A very true statement and a rare DT compliment. As always .....

Back then some of todays forums most prolific posters would have ended up as the main attraction at DT’s Weenie Roast. As always ......

Could not agree more. It why in my UHI inner city area I never listen to early frost reports. In my area frost, even on cars, is as rare as an accurate snow measurement in CPK. As always ....

I still can’t figure out how to post a photo even in these easy days. IR17 can you imagine how some of the present generation of posters would have faired on the forums back then. As always .....

As I remember, very little censorship. I still remember a young DT getting upset because someone accused him of saying something negative about the then super met Joe Bastardi. Today he might consider the accusation a compliment. Wild place back then, like the old west, before the forum self destructed. As always ....

When considering the term; how to be rational when all around are just the opposite. If Tip gets in on this, heaven bless his between the ears strength, it may be quite a multi page discussion. As always ....

Rough time of year, when even the ninth symphony loses patience. As always ......

How could I not. I watched Gene Autry sing Rudolph on B&W tv. This song of lost, found and lost love squeezes you at its end. As I said in a post a few minutes past midnight on the morning of the 25th last year, Happy Christmas and New Year to all and remember; it is better to be wrapped in red, green, silver and gold then your own tears. ..... and the snow just changed to rain, as always......

Unc. You may not be old enough, but Do you remember Joe Bolton of later “Officer” Three Stooges Fame, as a Weatherman on b & w tv in the early fifties? He used a grease pen on a, I guess, glass screen overlaying an outline map to make temperature and other notations. For some reason the memory stuck with me. As always. ...

I was a freshman in Brooklyn Tech. School cancelled and Mayor Wagner banning cars from the city during the cleanup. As for CPK the measurement teams traditions remain. As always .......

‘Sigh’ we cant even maintain salt accumulations. As always ....
