For years.   Never will be fixed.  Sorry man.

I just read that people are in an uproar because yesterday's 'livestreamed' viewing of the Staten Island groundhog, Chuck, was actually pre-recorded, apparently on an earlier day, since keen observers noted that there was no snow on the ground.  Well now that's just ridiculous and unscientific!   Remember that this is the same public that gets upset when a snow forecast is off by a few inches.

I think Central Park  ends up shy of 40.

Really?

Despite an excellent blocking pattern and plenty of cold air this February you think it'll be under 40". 

I think we'll cross 50" pretty easily. I don't see the blocking going away anytime soon.

Our reliance on the pacific, which hasn't been great will also decrease.

Living in a place like this must be a real experience during high wind events.

https://dnyuz.com/2021/02/03/the-down-side-to-life-in-a-supertall-tower-leaks-creaks-breaks/

Many of the mechanical issues cited at 432 Park are occurring at other supertall residential towers, according to several engineers who have worked on the buildings.

All buildings sway in the wind, but at exceptional heights, those forces are stronger. A management email explained that “a high-wind condition” stopped an elevator and caused a resident to be “entrapped” on the evening of Oct. 31, 2019 for 1 hour and 25 minutes. Wind sway can cause the cables in the elevator shaft to slap around and lead to slowdowns or shutdowns, according to an engineer who asked not to be named, because he has worked on other towers in New York with similar issues.

One of the most common complaints in supertall buildings is noise, said Luke Leung, a director at the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. He has heard metal partitions between walls groan as buildings sway, and the ghostly whistle of rushing air in doorways and elevator shafts.

it's difficult to hit 50 inches of snow unless a season is truly historic
