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.
-
You must be so disappointed, so close to getting a perfect game and losing it in the ninth inning lol.
-
I didn't move anything, I've always viewed New York City as a region and not a point Another example is the heat record being 107 at LGA not 106 from Central Park. The point being New York City consists of 5 boroughs not one malfunctioning piece of equipment in a Park where no one lives. I'm proud to say in my 40+ years of living in the region I've never been to Central Park and never plan on ever going there. I hate the place.
-
But in the sense that we're going by the lowest snowfall total in the entirety of New York City, which consists of 5 boroughs. If all three didn't have snowfall records going back to 72-73 I'd agree though, it's important to have records from the year with the lowest snowfall for all locations. Tuesday may not even really matter if we get that big storm at the end of the week. That's going to get a lot of people by surprise if it happens, since none of the media is talking about anything but rain showers and 60 degrees lol.
-
I just hope the Euro regains some of its former glory. The media as usual has no clue all they have for the end of the week is a chance of (rain) showers lol and temps in the 50s or even 60.
-
toss the flight ;-)
-
Wow, we're in a good place for it, if that is anywhere close to reality-- too bad the Euro isn't as great as it once was.
-
what happened to the second band of snow that was supposed to come at us from the south?
-
That looks like cake to me.... I got hungry looking at that lol
-
You're still going by the Central Park number, I'm going to argue that if JFK gets the record that should count as the new record.
-
Those usually occur earlier in the season when the water is warmer (read: December), an example is December 2005. In a way I'm rooting for this because JFK could hold the new lowest seasonal record for New York City if they stay under the 1972-73 number. It would be so fitting for JFK to have that record and not Central Park.
-
It is but there are some rare exceptions and those usually occur earlier in the season when the water is warmer (read: December), an example is December 2005
-
JFK could change over before Philly lol
-
I'm using JFK for the record too. If they stay less than the 72-73 record that should count as the new record since JFK is in New York City too.
-
still on track for that record low season
-
why cant the cold airmass we have right now stick around?
