The banter thread is more useful than the monthly at this point. Not to mention more entertaining and far less irritating. 

I agree with this  - think about it  ! The other thing - I am confused who is allowed these days to start a storm thread ?

Why do people seem to think posting over and over again about how a few people got a storm wrong is any better than the original annoying posts over and over exaggerating the potential outcome? 
 

YOU ARENT DOING ANYTHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOURE COMPLAINING ABOUT, except doing it in a dick way thats ruining conversations here. 
 

if you think this is about you, it is. Make better posts.

It's easy to forget what thread you are in when reading it on a little phone.  Especially if you've just read a bunch of banter posts.  At least I've been guilty of that.

Totally understand that. It’s the same damn discussion that comes up over and over as to what the coast is, what the metro is, blah, blah blah.  It’s clear that not only are many on here not geographers, which is understandable, but some it appear can’t even interpret a map.

It was honestly better when we had one thread for everything.  I love reading so I have no problems reading several pages.

Good evening Irish. I do manage to find my way around the Postage Stamp.  I admit it’s been tricky at times. Stay well, as always ….

Its an interesting discussion for when things are boring. I agree its frustrating when it becomes part of storm threads.

think I see a few Olympic careers that washed away, in there :bag:

Wow, that reminds me of a report I saw on Pattrn where they said that by 2100 only 1 of the last 21 Winter Olympics sites would still be able to hold them because of AGW.

Do you know that people in the city don't believe me when I tell them that Manhattan is an island and that Brooklyn and Queens are part of Long Island?  They also don't believe that one can live in the city and yet also live by the beach..... they say, what beach?  This is New York City, there are no beaches here.

Brooklyn and Queens should just secede and  join Nassau and Suffolk County and form our own city, let's call it Long Island City ;-)

Thats so interesting! People don't know they live on an island? The whole city is Islands except the Bronx.

Exactly!  I kept telling my parents that when I was in 3rd grade and we lived in Brooklyn and they didn't believe me (they especially didn't believe me when I told them Brooklyn was on long island lol and they were adamant about it and told everyone-- he's just a kid and doesn't know what he's talking about, ignore him LOL), and my mom was a doctor, mind you, it wasn't like she was dumb in the least.  People just don't notice (or maybe even care) about these things.

The only reason I knew was because I was super fascinated by maps even I was that age and used to draw/sketch maps of the boroughs (and then long island when we moved there the following year) back when I was 8-9 years old.

Same I always loved geography. My goal since young was to move off an island and onto the continent for better luck during winter storms. Unfortunately where I am now is way closer to the city than I had hoped to be at this point in my life.

Ironically enough you might be better off on an island for more frequent bigger snowstorms.  Try Nova Scotia....I know it's Canada but that place is awesome for both snowstorms/blizzards and tropical systems too.  I went to Halifax once, it's a really pretty city.  It's on a peninsula but it's much more island-like than continent-like because a peninsula has water on three sides, so it's three quarters of the way to being an island lol. Labrador is actually an island and might be even better because its further NE but I can't stand NFLD for various reasons (most of them political and environmental.)

Yea maybe but i'd rather have snow that lasts all winter than have occasional blizzards and then not much else. I would say I can't tell if its biased off the last 10 years but I didn't realize how much better Long Island especially north shore is for snow than the 5 boroughs. If I don't end up in Orange County at some point, I might consider moving to LI, the sea breeze in the summer and cooler nights would be nice too, although can also get cooler summer nights not that far north of the city.

Then those people are morons. No offense.

 

That societal statement aside, I always hated that NYC and its residents are so detached from the water around them. Perhaps its greatest asset and so little access
