There were numerous reasons that multiple areas were shutdown during that November snowstorm and a lot of people do not understand that. It was not just NYC. It was happening in Jersey too. People left for work in the morning and saw 0 - 2" of snow in the forecast. So they got into their car and drove to work. If the forecast would have said 3" - 6" of snow, a lot (Maybe thousands) of those people in small cars would have taken public transportation or car pooled. So right off the bat you have more cars on the road than you normally would during a snowstorm. Another issue is MTA buses perform horribly with any accumulating snow. Any more than 2 or 3 inches they need chains on the tires. Not much in Manhattan, but a lot of the other boroughs have a lot of hills and buses became stranded in the road, unable to get up the hills. That also added to the traffic jams of every day rush hour. IMO, those are two of the biggest factors. Could the DSNY have pre-salted roads and have had more plows on standby? Probably. But when you get 1"-2" an hour rates during rush hour in major metropolitan areas, it will be almost impossible to keep up with.

The threat of freezing rain is definitely increasing.

its too warm through the entire column.

This happens after every blown forecast. They needed to get it out of their system. Next non event will be back to normal

I agree. Was only replying to Anthony's post yesterday when he mentioned that run since he didn't include the image.

That had to make up for the last storm

I find it really hard to believe broad channel and Howard Beach are not on the list.

It doesnt look like snow is falling on the webcam https://www.earthcam.com/usa/pennsylvania/philadelphia/?cam=philly

Cmon feen you know better.

I hate to bicker but you are right. The last storm was a fluke. Not every storm will trend in a way that NYC cashes in. Sometimes you just have to look at the current setup. It doesn't favor a northern track. It could happen. But it's not likely.

Agreed. This isn't coming north.

Jeff Berardelli did as well on CBS

Agreed. Although I do think a lot of people park on the street who take the train to work or the air train to the airport at JFK. Why people in small cars think they can drive through it though is beyond me.

My footage from High tide this morning in Howard Beach, Queens.

Yeah tomorrow morning should be moderate for south queens again similar to the noreaster a few weeks ago.

I was all over Brooklyn and Staten Island today and no salt was down

Now if we only knew which former poster he is

::slowly hides in a corner::

I'll admit I was wrong. But no one said it can't snow in November. It happened 3 times the past 6 years.

Agreed

We will see how it goes. I would love to see that.
