all city workers are being paid working or not working...its good for my son and daughter but bad for the big picture...

whats your list...everything is based on the economy...

you know how many people will loose their business if they cant open...look whats happened already...enough with cowering in the corner...

elderly Staten Islanders too...I'm pretty good tolerating the heat to a point...some old folks wear a sweater when dew points are under 70 in Florida...

the average number of 70 degree minimums have gone up in the last decade...starting with the 1930's these are the average 70 degree minimums for a ten year period and the average consecutive days for a decade... decade...total days...consecutive... 1930-39.....29.9...…….7.7 1940-49.....32.4...…….6.4 1950-59.....29.4...…….7.3 1960-69.....23.9...…….5.7 1970-79.....33.2...…..10.3 1980-89.....37.3...…..11.4 1990-99.....31.9...…….9.3 2000-09.....34.5...…….9.3 2010-19.....47.4...…..12.6

Newark NJ had its first 90 degree day yesterday...The most 90 days came in 2010...the least came in 1967... most... 54 in 2010... 49 in 1993... 43 in 1988.... 41 in 2002... 41 in 1991... 40 in 1959... 40 in 1983... 40 in 2016... 39 in 1994... 39 in 1944 least... 07 in 1967... 09 in 1996... 11 in 2009... 11 in 1985... 11 in 1946... 12 in 1982... 12 in 1975... 13 in 2004... 13 in 1960

I wasn't born yet but the weather played a big part in both plane crashes into 40 wall st and the empire state building...fog was a big contributor for both...

I recorded 1.30" of le and no more than a half inch at one time on the ground for the April 9-10th liquid snow...

on this date in 1875 NYC had its latest heavy snowfall on record...10" was measured in Central Park...temps got as low as 30 during the storm...it wasn't the last of the snow or cold that month... 1875... https://bklyn.newspapers.com/image/50419405 http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030313/1875-04-14/ed-1/seq-6/ https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030313/1875-04-14/ed-1/seq-7/

before 1982 April snowstorms were of the wet variety...it was snowing hard mid day with temperatures in the mid 20's...the next day with bright sunshine the max temp in NY was only 30 degrees...21 years later there was the 4-7" of snow in 2003...15 years later 4-7" fell in 2018...since 2011 NYC has seen three early season snowfalls...October 2011...3-6" in the city...early November 2012...4-7"...Nov 2018 with 4-7" also...I think 2018 holds the record for the least amount of days between 5" snowfalls in a year...early April to mid Nov...1938 is a close second but has the record for the least amount of days between 6" snowfalls in a year...

1923 in Yankee Stadium as The Bronx was beginning to be developed... https://www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?141127

some of NYC greatest snowstorms came in March...1993, 1960, 1958, 1941, 1914, 1888... 1888... http://bklyn.newspap.../image/50437841 http://chroniclingam...-13/ed-1/seq-1/ http://fultonhistory...cale - 0455.pdf http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1888-03-15/ed-1/seq-1/

on this date in 1958 NYC got 8-10" of wind swept snow around the area...temperature dropped to 3 degrees a day later...I was in the third grade at the time and remember what I was doing before and after the storm...

1963-64 is similar to 1995-96...both had a good December and a white Christmas...a Jan blizzard...a snowy February...more snows in March...2010-11 and 1960-61 shut off early...1947-48 can be put in the same category with them but had a comeback after a big Feb. Thaw...1994 had a comeback after a big Feb. thaw...1958 and 1996 had snows after a big Feb. thaw...

its funny that 1966 had similar storms in January and then December...both were KU storms and both times the low was very close to us and we got dry slotted...the December storm did have hours of sleet which was a downer...it did changed back to snow once the low got north of us...

the 1966-67 winter was predicted quite well by the farmers almanac...the white Christmas was predicted three months in advance...it did have many ups and downs... 12/4.....14 degrees 12/8-11...60 degrees or above...66 on the 9th... 12/13-14...wet snow and rain... 12/18...56 degrees... 12/21...1" of snow... 12/24...7" of snow... 12/29...heavy rain starts as snow... 1/19...13 degrees light snow... 1/22-26...major thaw...68 degrees on the 24th... 2/2...58 degrees...wet snow that evening... 2/5...48 degrees... 2/6...3" of snow... 2/7...12" of snow...9 degrees... 2/8...6 degrees... 2/10...2" of snow... 2/13...4 degrees... 2/15...60 degrees... 2/18...2" of snow... 2/23...4" of snow... 2/25...12 degrees... 3/1...16 degrees... 3/3...64 degrees... 3/5...2" of snow changing to rain... 3/6-7...3" of rain... 3/11...72 degrees... 3/14...63 degrees... 3/15-16...3" snow and sleet... 3/17...3" of snow...20 degree max... 3/18...8 degrees... 3/21-22...10" of snow...

the Lindsay storm in 1969 ended on this date...20" of paste at JFK...one of the best busts ever because the storm was forecast to change to rain...

I got over a foot in Bulls Head that day...

these are the years with the greatest snow depth on Jan. 31st in Newark since 1946... 1948-----7" 1949.....4" 1961.....9" 1963.....6" 1966.....7" 1987.....5" 2000.....4" 2004.....6" 2005.....7" 2011...15" 2015.....6" 2016.....7"

1971 was ushered in with a snowstorm that measured 6.4" in Central Park and 7.2" in Bensonhurst Brooklyn....8" in parts of Long Island...9.9" in Dobbs Ferry....snow started falling about 1am and ended in the afternoon...1978 had a 2" snowfall on this date...first inch or more of that season...1976 saw rain that started on 12/31 change to 1" of snow before ending after ball drop in the early am hours...1967 had snow falling for the ball drop at midnight with 3" on the ground...that ended soon after...

the temperature was just below freezing for most of the storm in NYC and it still changed to a mix that evening ...JFK being right on the water with December Ocean Temperatures could have kept accumulations down there...

To old...the forecast was for snow flurries...Boston changed to rain for a time...in 1969 Boston got 4" of rain after 4" of snow. ..we did better both times...

they blew the forecast that day...maybe that was the reason...
