Thanks, I was thinking of Bridgeport too, but they undermeasure snow so White Plains seems to be better.
-
If it goes south of us it won't change to rain.
-
Whats the difference between GEPS and EPS lol. Why all these acronyms lol-- why can't we just call them the Euro Ensembles and GFS ensembles?
-
It's good to get all the extremes in. I used to use White Plains to gage Northern Bronx and Northern Nassau County weather and that's probably not that accurate. Bronx Zoo is really good, now we just need something for Staten Island lol
-
I dont think that is going to happen....it might be 5" on parts of the north shore and more like 2" on the south shore
-
Since we don't have airports in every borough I imagine we could use parks in each borough that don't have a large airport, which is everyone but Queens lol. So 4 parks and 2 airports should cover it (since Queens has 2 airports.) I nominate Prospect Park for Brooklyn, and then we just need to find a good park to use in The Bronx and in Staten Island.
-
I mean it's possible, TWC has 5"-8" on the same small sliver of the north shore of Long Island, so I guess they're going with that map.
-
TWC has a small sliver of 5"-8" (purple) in their forecast map on the central part of the north shore of Long Island, basically from Huntington to about Mt Sinai.
-
what do you make of this big difference in the GFS vs the other models, what's causing it?
-
I wonder if this will be similar to February 2008. That one came in at night too and same time of year of course.
-
Hey I never said I didn't like parks though, I just happened to like Prospect Park more because I grew up there and went there all the time.
-
Indeed that will hold from 1997-98 because this is going to happen on the last full night and day of February. But that is just calendar gymnastics so it doesn't really matter, it's the record for the whole season which actually matters.
-
How much is the difference between Central Park and JFK on the EPS members and the National Blend of Models, Don?
-
It would be interesting to see the JFK low for this morning, they cool well on raditional cooling nights. Of course the temperature will recover quickly today, I have the sun shining in my face already lol.
-
Great night for radiational cooling...but the recovery today will be just as quick lol.
-
well with the Euro's track record since 2015 I don't know.....but a combo of the Euro and CMC seems like a better bet than the GFS. Really, the GFS seems to be on its own now and that's never a good thing.
-
Seeing all those gorgeous birds in videos and how the foliage changes in the fall when I watch the NYC Marathon actually makes me want to go there. It is weird I haven't been there even once in the 40 plus years I've been living in the area lol.
-
It's also similar to the area from Coney Island to the Rockaways. Having spent a lot of time near Sheepshead Bay when I was younger, I think it matched up with JFK really well. I'm a big advocate of using all the data from all the City airports plus the Park because you get the full picture of what the area is like. LGA is better for The Bronx and Northern Queens, Central Park for Manhattan and Northern Brooklyn and JFK for Southern Queens and Southern Brooklyn.
-
I know it is, but I'm talking moreso about what Manhattan has turned into with all those huge skyscrapers all around. But seeing some of these passionate posts actually makes me want to see it. I've always wanted to go birding there. So I might do that this summer. Harlem has its own issues with gentrification but I know there are some historical places that I would love to see.
-
Wow, that sounds absolutely amazing. Sometimes I wish I grew up in that time period, it seems like such a wonderful time. Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s in New York City was pretty rough-- for a variety of reasons.
-
I guess it's what we're all used to. I grew up in Brooklyn and spent most of my childhood between Church and Caton near Ocean Parkway and we used to go to Prospect Park every weekend. The only time I ever went to Manhattan was if I was working there.
-
why do our media outlets insist on using the GFS....is it some kind of faux "patriotic" thing they think they're doing?
-
If we could get a separate set of equipment to measure weather info at Prospect Park that would be awesome, I've been going there since I was 5....I used to play frisbee there with my Dad!
-
I've been to a lot of parks, I hate it because of what it stands for and its origins. I love Prospect Park though. Just not into Manhattan snobbery.
-
I'm much more partial to Prospect Park it's where I grew up. I've always considered Manhattan and Central Park where the elitist of the elite hang out and I'm not into that kind of snobbery. I also don't like the obsession over Central Park weather, New York City is a lot larger than just that one park and I feel the conditions over the entire city need to be taken into account when considering records....this discussion has been had on this forum ad infinitum, whether it's averaging of the park plus the two (or three airports if you also consider Newark) or taking the highest and lowest of all of them combined for the records. I happen to support all of that since it gives a much fuller picture of the city than just one location which isn't even accurate in its measurements of snowfall, wind or temperature. I've been to the Bronx Zoo and Prospect Park several times, just never Central Park.
