I hear that storm just to our north in Westchester. Real monster. I just put the sprinkler on. I don’t think we’re getting much out of this round

def moving away from this area next year... we don't get the snow like we did when i was a kid (2000's) and to be honest this weather is worse for my mental health than mid winter...

 

Im with you. This is a long shit slog of rain from Nov thru spring with temps in 40s and 50s. Then a summer of bugs and humidity. It is terrible.

Mentally, it is getting to be like the Pacific NW. Not good.

Worth a move out west to a sunny dry type climate (Denver/SLC) if you can swing it

So is my 50 person communion party inside or out tomorrow?

Really could use some help with this call

Felt like I was back in 90s in there last night. Missed those days of playoff basketball in the garden.

Been a long time! But I was a bulls fan haha

Back to the weather is there any chance of over performing tomorrow in terms of temperature?

Taken from 34,000 feet this afternoon

This was the big OK storm from 34,000 feet this evening

Flying just south of it now. Ugly stuff in Oklahoma. Tops well into 40s. Even into 50s now. Massive to look at

Ahhh yes...the Monday clearing and warmup.

 

Right on freaking cue.

Great Post!! Gave me a chuckle

very crazy leaf out this year.

Obviously started early with the warmth. then stopped and got late with the cold.

But I live in a very wooded house and we moved in on 5/1 several years ago, and now relative to past years, we have full blown thick foliage.

One of the weirdest springs I’ve seen

never got that warm in southern Westchester, right around 80F.

This was a Jersey event

Nice day.

Gives an updated meaning to the ‘ignorance is bliss’ axiom. As always ….

There are a lot of positives to global warming. The negatives just outweigh them.

No reason for people that enjoy the warmer temps year round to be demeaned. 

Many people I know hate snow and cold and think 45 with less snow the past few winters is a great thing

just got back from 9 days in southern california. i think i have to move back. 4 marginal snow events and this crap weather is not worth the cost of living here

Agreed. Maybe not SoCal with high costs, but def out west!

Stadiums can exaggerate the winds.  I suppose if I wore a bubble jacket like George Costanza...

Shea was the worst. 3/4 built with opening to water. awful on a cold wet day

Awful day. Climate in NYC is beginning to really stink now for half the year: Winters too warm for snow and Spring, while not necessarily below average are overly raw and wet. 

Constant 40-50 with rain several days a week from october thru may. This sucks. And is worth moving for. Being Maritime like Seattle or London

Chilly

I was going to go, but I can’t stand this weather anymore.

Maybe tomorrow

Kids baseball game. 47F drizzle stiff wind. This pattern ruined our whole winter. Now its ruining spring

Yup one more Andrew but shifted 25-40 miles north and it’s lights out for Florida’s economy.

Andrew was small. The storms today are wider with more damage potential. Frankly, same threat in NYC.

Florida is a little overheated right now and it cant continue like that. What was once cheap isnt as cheap anymore because of demand. Hence GA and the Carolinas.

The SE will continue to grow at the expense of places like NY as they have the right combo of low taxes, low cost of living, newer housing stock, and better weather plus a ton of business opportunities.

If you can afford to live in Westchester or on the north shore of Long Island and you work from home, you could have a nice suburban life here for an exorbitant cost. If you live in Queens like I used to, you are giving half your pay check to a landlord to live in an apartment that your grandparents grew up in and everything around you is old, broken, small and/ or dirty. Everything from food shopping to the Post Office to the gym is subpar to every other part of America. 

That is why SE wins and few if any move back
