My thinking early on for NYC: +1.0° to +1.5° and 15"-25" snowfall. Well Don. Accu weather seems to agree with you. Stay Weill, as always …. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit below average in general for most. Though if the city gets 25 inches compared to the last few years it will feel huge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, My expectations have been set so low as a result of the past few years that anything within striking distance of near normal snowfall and temps, if it were to happen, would feel like a win. Glad I enjoyed every minute of the 2000-2018 stretch while it lasted, because it sure feels like a distant memory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be moving to Morristown Tennessee in late Spring... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some times that is the case, often it isn't. 2 hours ago, Dark Star said: Doesn't matter. People who need to organize, coordinate and communicate for an event do not need a State of Emergency. We have seen a State of Emergency declared for the entire state when only 1 or 2 counties may be affected. Thank you for proving my point. 1 hour ago, weatherpruf said: how would you know? have you served in government?

So despite any cataclysmic damage done by the weather, you can't get any federal funds unless you call a state of emergency? And if you do call a state of emergency with little or no damage you get federal funding? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of an old Donald Duck comic where he won the lottery but to be able to claim it he had to walk into the lottery offices walking backwards, hopping on his left leg while saying good morning in Chinese lol It was something like that. All technical crap designed to prevent him from claiming his winnings. The government works in a similar fashion haha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCG RS Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago 14 hours ago, Dark Star said: You don't need a state of emergency to communicate and coordinate. Declaring a SOE has become too commonplace, and only de-emphasizes a potentially dangerous situation. While I agree with you, it's not necessarily planning and coordination in terms of how to handle, it's about funding. Declaring a State of Emergency opens up additional funds from state and federal levels (mostly federal, though it is a bit complicated at times). So the SOE, while I will agree becomes like crying wolf, is really about opening of resources, most of which are financial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCG RS Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago 11 hours ago, dseagull said: I suggest you read the actual legislation, prior to what will soon become common knowledge. SOE declarations are an avenue for misappropriation of funds, and this has only emboldened those in power to declare them more frequently. While they absolutely do open the doors for federal funding, they simultaneously allow for interstate funding to be reallocated. It's not what you may believe it is. It occurs across party lines. Like anything that governments create, especially for 'emergency' situations. Abuse eventually becomes rampant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think DSeagull hit the nail on the head, misappropriations of the funds. Where there is money, there is corruption. That's why we need to elect strong leaders, who have the ambition to go after those who are bilking the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about we limit how many States of Emergency can be declared per year so they are used much more sparingly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
