I just moved up here from central NC. Had been there my whole life aside from a year and a half in DC. And boy I’ve had my share of disappointment. Hope I’m not too late on the climate change scale to experience a snowy NYC winter. Excited to learn some of the fundamentals of this climo!

Welcome to the NY area.

I did the velveting technique on meat using baking soda and it came out phenomenal. 

Anybody else ever try it?

Welcome! If you're a football fan, how do you like Bill? My guess is that since you were not up here for the very snowy period that some here grew up with and thought was the new normal, you won't be disappointed especially when you compare a winter here with those further south. 

Trying hard to believe in the process, but it’s been a biiiit of a circus to say the least at times. 2 wins in a row now though! 
 

We went from having no defense and a killer offense the past few years to now having a decent defense but no offense.

It looks like he moved to Park Slope. Poor guy has to contend with one of the worst UHIs on Earth lol watching snowflakes melt on impact is painful 

He and Anthony could become buddies lol

Oooh interesting that it’s uniquely bad compared to the rest of the city—any reasons why? I’m only a block from prospect park though, so hoping on getting to see some snow stick there

It's better than Manhattan obviously.

But, no where close to ideal. Western Brooklyn/Western Queens and Manhattan is the peak UHI zone. 

Since you're close to the park you at least have a good option to see better stickage. 

Overall though with a big well placed storm you will be fine. Problem is getting one lol
