Traffic and environment wise yes, physical and mental health wise, no.

If most people who live in a city are not impacted, then who is impacted? I have planes flying over my head constantly and I'm 4 miles east of the airport, even places like Mineola get affected, it's a major quality of life issue. The local councilwoman is suing the FAA for jamming 13,000 flights in a month and flying planes 1000 feet lower because of newer tech. It's driving me crazy. You want to trade since noise isn't a real issue that doesn't affect most?

There are studies that show the benefits of light and noise pollution? Or you mean living in a big city? I'd love to know what these positives are considering it's a completely artificial environment.

Models did a piss poor job initializing the rain in PA.

It's actually bad for your mental and physical health to be stacked on top of eachother and have constant noise pollution, another major factor people always forget.

Very underpopulated for when they were building out the system. Pre 1950 there was still tons of farmland east of Flushing Meadow Park. Majority homes were built in the 50s and 60s out here.

I'd rather die Plus there's no regular train where I am, I'd have to get on the LIRR just to get to the subway.

I don't recall Queens ever not being a traffic cesspool

I begrudgingly gave you a like lol

Ah yes my favorite event of that year I think LGA had like 40:1 ratios in the 2004 event.

If not wildfire smoke then what would it be?

Btw that 2004 event had 850s colder than -36C in parts of Maine. Crazy

I can't find prior storm events before 2010 on Upton's site. Apparently text takes up a huge amount of storage space and so they can't spare it. It's been this way for years.

The HRRR has everything south of 78 completely fizzling.

The was the first and last time I was able to "shovel" 8 inches of snow with a broom, and I mean really effortlessly. The ratios were outrageous.

A more recent event would be January 15th 2004 when it started to snow at 14 degrees in Central Park the evening before and finished up the following morning with about 6 to 9 inches of ultra fluff and a temp of 8 degrees. That day's high was 18 with a low of 2.

That's a serious cutoff just to our south, looks like a snowmap

We've lost a bunch of daylight it's crazy how it accelerates in September.

I think it was a little early for the visible satellite gif

Where do you see that?

I remember being on the bus waiting for a kid to get on in 1994 when we went below zero and as we were waiting, some store clerk came outside with a bucket of water and he poured it toward the sewer down the side of the street and the water never made it since it froze in seconds.

Is there a reason why that in the year 2025 Pivotal doesn't have a mobile version of their website?

I'll tell you what the "fake cold" is good for though, cooling surfaces down so that when it starts to snow it sticks better. Many times the city will get snow, but we are sitting in the upper 30s waiting for precip to drag our temps down to freezing. Meanwhile several hours earlier some locations were radiating and cooled into the 20s while skies were still clear. That allowed for surfaces to cool down nicely so that even if temps did jump back to the mid 30s when clouds moved in, surfaces are not cooling down from being in the 40s because of solar insolation from earlier in the day, they are warming up from being in the 20s. It makes a nice difference in terms of stickage.

My thermometer is about 20 feet up and in Queens but it managed to drop to 53 degrees this morning. I'll take it, better than Anthony's 59 haha
