Horse and buggy in garage. Im sitting standby in firehouse. Nuts outside. Braking much worse than last storm as it is wetter snow

Most of us ended up around 15 inches with that one. Lets see how this shakes out

Or 3 weeks

Yeh? Ive been holding around 33F all day

One thing that has me worried is the warmth and almost march like quality to this storm so far. It has been snowing since I woke up with grass still showing. Not saying this is the case for this storm, but in my experience in NY area, great storms dont look or feel this way at start

A bit of govt overreach in the post covid world, but then I keep seeing these idiots clogging major roads in sedans stuck in 6 inches of snow and I guess you have to go with the lowest common denominator. Sad world

There is a temperature/snowfall rate equation that needs to be balanced here. Especially in daytime. Especially for those of us with snow still on the ground

I dont think so

Moderate snow in Westchester. 34F Go USA Hockey!!!

Not going to get dry snow with temps in mid 30s

there’s an equation that needs to be balanced here. Heavier snow near the coast, but tomorrow during the day away from the cement jungle you’re gonna accumulate faster. it all shakes out in the wash, but the further you are from a cement jungle in a snowstorm with marginal temps the better off you are. Once the storm gets going and the sunsets it’s not gonna matter.

Isnt our benchmark 40/70?

Actually it is. They added 3 or 4 new holidays and came to an agreement with the UFT to not extend school year. They have to meet a minimum threshold of days per year with state. Hence the remote learning. They have no extra days built in. Eid Juneteeth Lunar New Year UFT can not report before Labor Day. up in the burbs, our teachers report before Labor Day and sometimes school begins before Labor Day. And they also have five snow days figured in. They give those back over Memorial Day weekend and they cut the school year if they don’t use them. Long story short, you need to hit 180. If the union contract has a hard stop on Labor Day and last week of June, something has to give if you add 3 new holidays.

You want to talk about cuts to weather agencies? That is fine. Keep your other politics out of this forum. I come to places like this to get away from all that. Thanks
