nycwinter

i like this climate pattern we are in milder winters but still good enough for snow... it's better than it was in the 80;s where you had many days in nyc during the winter when temps would end up in the single digits at nite..

i remember lee lee goldberg yesterday afternoon said maybe a shower south of the city  for today...

weather forecasters blew it  for today's weather..

one of the most comfortable days we had in the city for a long time..

i have had enough of this humid weather..enough is enough..

I think the major news over the upcoming decade will be the rapid melting in Antarctica.  

a lot of us won't even be around before ice melt becomes a serious issue..

what a deluge for manhattan..

We haven't had a cold front here in weeks lol.   Recember Septembers have been warm/hot...ways to go

after sept 10 noticeably drier air usually starts arriving..

it is august 10th summer is 50% over..i can almost feel the crisp cool breezes of fall..

feels nice in manhattan today ..

this storm for as short as it lasted did more wind damage in ny then iree which lasted 8 hours or more later

it was no question stronger then irene never once did i get the feeling my window might break with irene..

It can shut off as quick as it started too...we’ve seen that before also.   Nothing is a certainty. 

very unlikely that will happen...

do you think this storm name will be retired? another example of the dreaded i storm..

amazing impactful storm considering how little rain that fell in the nyc area...

trees will come down more easily  when fully leafed then in a winter storm..

very quick storm imo. winds started around 10 tapered off by 1:40 west of the city. luckily this limited the extent of the damage could have been way worse.

well if the storm was slow moving by the time it got up north the wind sped would have been much less..

incredible wind and rain here in manhattan..

what a wind and occasional heavy rain storm earlier for the city......

watching local tv weather future cast the city gets one good band mid day and that is it the storm is over by 6-700 pm .. lucky to get a inch for the city.. if that future cast is accurate..
