You want to build your current models around what your current date averages are and they continue to increase over the last 60 years. Today’s set up would not yield the same result that 30 years ago did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's different but in that case why 30 years when 10 years would be more accurate, or even better use a weighed average that emphasizes the last 10 over the 20 years before that.

It snowed on and off of all day at camp. We made the most of this lame winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always considered Manhattan and Central Park where the elitist of the elite hang out and I'm not into that kind of snobbery. I also don't like the obsession over Central Park weather, New York City is a lot larger than just that one park and I feel the conditions over the entire city need to be taken into account when considering records....this discussion has been had on this forum ad infinitum, whether it's averaging of the park plus the two (or three airports if you also consider Newark) or taking the highest and lowest of all of them combined for the records. I happen to support all of that since it gives a much fuller picture of the city than just one location which isn't even accurate in its measurements of snowfall, wind or temperature. I've been to the Bronx Zoo and Prospect Park several times, just never Central Park. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Seeing LIE mentioned in storm thread. After we moved to Texas (1981), they renamed NY 495 to I-495, which bothers me, as even number prefixes to a 2 digit interstate is for loops (like I-610 in the Houston inner loop highway) and the LIE is a spur of 95, or should be I-395 or I-595. The I-495 beltway in Massachusetts follows the rule. I'm old enough to remember the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway being new, when there was talk of a bridge extending it over the Sound to Connecticut. I see Seaford and Lindenhurst posts, none from Amityville or Massapequa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyWx Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Can't believe it, but I was actually looking forward to tracking this storm and now watching it play out. I guess I need some snow before I can appreciate spring warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
