  1. And I’m sure there have been lots of accidents driving kids to school in the snow, rain, wind and sun. Life isnt a padded room...Stop thinking it is. It is about using liability To control the masses under the guise of safety. The people that brought you the DMV and post office are going to keep you safe in a storm. When you make excuses for it like you did in the last post you’re enabling it.
  2. That jives with accuweathers spring forecast from a few weeks ago, ironically.
  3. All the bridges closed to trucks.Massive delays. Fourth time this year. I lived in New York my whole life. we never closed bridges, We never closed schools, We never ever shut down the subway. Weather hysteria thanks to the weather Channel and social media
  4. 1. Honestly, in a normal March, you dont get much more than that anyway. 2. LR has been so off this year, if the 10th became the 5th or 15th or if there was blizzard during our AN period, It wouldnt surprise me. A week ago you wouldnt have put money on an LR...dont bet the house because the calendar turned to March. 3. That wind was particularly loud and fierce last night. Built into the side of a ridge off the Saw Mill river...I was awoken several times
  5. What happened to warm temps today? I topped our around 46F, 10 degrees below forecast.
  6. Do you see a snow event before 10th? There seems to be forum consensus that post 10th will be warm.
  7. 29F Freezing drizzle for last couple of hours. Everything is iced over good.
  8. 2 inches in Hastings 28F Steady light snow I hear pellets as well
  9. We have over 100 years worth of data points. When you get an early November snow, the season usually sucks. It doesn’t happen that often and that’s obviously a good thing!
  10. Why do we keep removing November?? It was a major storm and it happened at the beginning of the season. It usually leads to a below normal snowfall winter. It happened before and it will happen again. I just don’t understand the alternate reality where we’re getting rid of the 6 inch snowfall in November because it was in November. It is integral to the whole season and, from a historical perspective, the season has played out exactly as expected after that event. I said this the day after that storm, And then every month since. If there is any other historical ending that could happen with the early-season snowfall, it’s usually a big march snowfall. People seem shocked...not sure why.
  11. No need for it to get political...just look at the numbers. It is what it is. Quite simple
  12. From the Feb thread “Our climate is changing. We will see more blockbuster seasons for the next few decades before we eventually reach a critical mass and temps are too warm for snow“
  13. Climate change aside, you are correct that there is a forum whiplash going on with a lot of emotion. This winter has disappointed many on here, And it has led to wish casting and infighting. Immature. And you are correct that all of a sudden this winter is being blamed on climate change. And as I politely point out, Our snow hole seems to be very localized. Climate change is very real but you do a disservice to that information when every local whim of weather leads to crying wolf about climate change. It is also immature.
  14. What crushing dump? It is supposed to be 55 in Washington on Thursday. 68 on Sunday. Let’s not get crazy here. What is it going to stay on the ground for a few hours?
  15. This isnt talked about enough! I have had more days of snow cover this winter than 15-16. Too many guys get distracted by total amounts. If you like cold weather this winter was actually better than the last two. Just never worked out for snow.
  16. A lot of people N S and W of us are having a decent season. Cant win them all...
  17. Man was that a bust in every way possible! 33F. Rain. Never went below freezing never switched over from rain!
  18. 34 and rain in Westchester. Dont know what that means for city and Long Island...but cant be good
  19. Well it looks like Thurs-Mon all feature AN temps, no? That gives us 2 days to look for a February event...and we are into March. End of February comes up real quick. If we salvage something tonight, we had 3 solid days of snow cover from last storm and will have 3 days of solid cover before that 50 on Thursday with this storm. I guess I will take it in a snowless winter
  20. Wednesday looks to kick off the beginning of a warm pattern that will last for a while. That should stick a fork in February. At least Tonight looks promising.
  21. Where? In the Northern Bronx? I showed a pic 7 hours after the storm ended in queens. You see snow there? Or a puddle from melting? The storm was not a nothing burger… It made travel treacherous for most of the day. The storm also had a bad set up and was not a snowstorm for New York as the poster you derided before and after the storm stated. 1 inch was recorded. I am not getting into the posters past, I’m just saying he earns some credibility with this last storm. That’s why most of us are on here, not to fight with other posters, But to have a credible discussion about weather happening or possibly happening. I Don’t want to see anybody that has good insight get derided.
