  1. wow you average a lot. I remember when I said that I dont think NYC can be considered a snowy city, I used numbers for snowfall seasons that could be considered good and I came up with a 40" average as the minimum needed for a good snowfall season.....thats a nice whole number and it's also 1 meter, which is the measurement unit the rest of the world uses. It brings in cities like Chicago, Detroit and Boston as snowy (near the minimum limit anyway) while a city like Pittsburgh or NYC cant be considered snowy.
  2. when you said 22 F that suddenly rang a bell for me....I have a shocking memory for numbers. I now fully remember that day....the high was in the 50s and the 22 really stands out as the low because that was the coldest I had ever seen it so early at that point.
  3. also whether Long Island is an island or not, it can't be argued that Brooklyn and Queens are part of the same geographical unit as Nassau and Suffolk. There is no water that separates them.
  4. anything above Tarrytown is upstate to me! also whether Long Island is an island or not, it can't be argued that Brooklyn and Queens are part of the same geographical unit as Nassau and Suffolk. There is no water that separates them.
  5. omg this is amazing its sticking to everything including the roads and visibilities are super low because it's blowing around too and coming down pretty hard
  6. it just shows that climatewise Brooklyn and Queens are more like Nassau County than they are like Manhattan and after all both LGA and JFK are in Queens and they are much closer to my snowfall totals than they are to Manhattan's
  7. There was a decent difference in snowfall totals between Manhattan and Brooklyn, Ed. Brooklyn received a 6"+ and 12"+ event and Manhattan did not.
  8. Yes and if anyone was around then they would also have cursed living on the south shore since the glacier never made it down here
  9. really? and here I figured that geographically they are all part of the same geographical structure. where I live in Nassau County it's pretty urban trust me, we get hotter than NYC does on a west or northwest wind
  10. this is why Brooklyn and Queens should be lumped together with Long Island (they are part of Long Island after all) and NYC should only refer to Manhattan.
