    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

    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

    yeah but nothing's getting done b/w 3 and 4 today lol...

    and you need to be careful. There will be a lot of car accidents. There will be a lot of distracted people a lot of stolen items and pickpockets.

     

    If you’re in a crowded area today between three and four, keep your head out of your ass and keep your wits about you

    This is why we want W to NW for peak heat here in the summer.

    It makes us hotter than Manhattan.

    How often does that happen though? JFK is in a south operation almost all summer

    All city tunnels and bridges are getting inspected

    Stop. Some of them should fall down and do the world a favor. I nominate the Whitestone as a sacrifice to the gods

    It's not the first time.  Even with different ownership and front office people, they don't know the recent history of making poor judgements affecting the fans?

    They dont care. You showed up and spent money while waiting in the cold rain. It happens all the time throughout the league

    West is best…

    Ill invert that. many of the smaller East Coast ski areas have 100% snowmaking to see them through warm periods.

     

    Out west they are totally dependent on natural snow. Too big and not enough water for snowmaking.

     

    In the warm winter world of the future, you will see skiing at small resorts on the East Coast where lower Western resorts shut down.

    Put in the books…

    As of 4 PM, the Mets game is still on for a 7:05PM start.

    If you are younger than 40, you will watch baseball die off like horseracing did 50 years ago. In both cases, the milking of fans and disinterest of younger generations will play a role.
