Waldbaums roof collapse caused by the wet snow

Mistake 1: moving back here Mistake 2: NY entered into a Clean Energy agenda and put huge mandates on utility companies to move off gas powered electricity which costs billions and that is being passed on to you thru huge hikes. Mistake 3: simultaneous with mistake 2, the former governor forced them to close Indian point. This clean energy source provided 25% of New York’s electricity. Long story short, enjoy your bill. It’s gonna be higher next year.

My now dead neighbor in Queens when we went out to shovel “nothing special here. just a path.” As a kid, I knew this was extraordinary then. That was really the first in a parade of epic storms that spanned the next 20 years in the NYC area. and if you lived in Queens back then, you remember that snow removal in New York City was much more primitive than it is now, even though it wasn’t that long ago. A lot less salt was used and the secondary and tertiary streets sometimes took days to get cleared. we lived on a secondary street in Whitestone and during those big storms we got a plow width and nothing more. Nowadays that would never happen

full snow cover still! what a nice xmas week for many of us with little dustings every night!

I mean its been BN temp wise and basically normal snow wise. But after last several winters its great. this hasnt been gangbusters tho

It wants to snow this winter…keep that in mind with the emotions when tracking the next storm. Happy New Year! 22F and a nice new blanket on top of existing snow

I can’t remember the last time I had full snow cover on New Year’s Eve. Remind me of when I was a kid. I want to say 2017? Wasnt that the brutally cold xmas week?

Light snow in Westchester. Still have full snow cover

Didnt you say that about Christmas week? And arent we going to be at or about freezing through the first week?

They got Times Square cleared out in no time! Real effort on part of city

Take what you can get after last few winters.

this is a totally crazy ride across PA today: 1. Fog and rain on snow mid 30s 2. Brilliant sun and 50 3. Snow and 20s on other end

This is true. it froze in wading river. and that is wide open there

theres no disputing this. snow fell and it stayed around longer in the 5 boros in my lifetime. And I dont need a record to confirm that. its just much warmer day to day now.

If CPK got 4.3 this isnt really a bust. Just a low end of the range. I lived thru busts in the 80s and 90s before we had all this technology in the palm of our hand. You would go to bed expecting snow and you would wake up to grass. Enjoy it! As someone rightly pointed out, a snowstorm from the NW is a rarity in NYC. Also a rarity (lately) in NYC: a snowy December.

Watch ALB be the winner here

The old days in Queens. Guido dudes on ATVs in the streets during a blizzard. Good memories

So I shouldnt wait for the Upton Press Conference yet??!!

don’t you live in Nanuet you already have like 3+ inches on the ground. Just take it and run.

i mean it kind of is isnt it? wouldnt take much and not for nothing, you’re consistently pushing high end totals and colder solutions so you said expectations also for people that dont know as much as you

Brooklyn almost always goes to mix at the tail end of a storm when precip lightens. It has to be absolutely perfect for it not to happen. Southern most point along an Ocean and Bay in an UHI. Just geography and science at work.

Accuweather just jumped me from 3-6 to 6-10. I think everyone needs to calm down.

Youre crazy then. Im 20 north and have 0 concerns. Zero. these guys on here are all talking themselves into a nut job mode. A week out they were convinced. 24 hours out with a snowstorm on the way they cant sign on the line. Every storm and its crazy. You mark my words the biggest cash in tomorrow is going to be around 287. But all get something

I fly in there all the time. Its not a matter of getting in anymore in 2025 with the airlines. It is social media publicity and liability. Big storm headed to NY area with a double digit snowfall possible? The airline is going to shutdown ops hours early and stay closed til the next day. 100% sure that cancels.

They cant be like the razors edge of emotions in this forum dude. They are a govt agency that people depend on for stability of information. At some point they have to convey to millions of people that a major winter storm will be threatening the region tomorrow that will make travel difficult and potentially life threatening and they dont need the noise of 1-2 inch differences between each model run to undermine that obligation.
