A short rant in here.

It seems like not having a major snowstorm in 5 years wiped all collective snow removal knowledge from some New Yorker brains:

• People shoveling snow into the street
• People waiting until after the storm is over to shovel
  • This includes their cars
• People not clearing snow off the roofs of their cars
• Crosswalks not getting shoveled
  • If it looks like another storm hits, I'm about to buy a shovel and do it my damn self. 

All that said, DSNY has done a good job!

The crosswalks not getting shoveled is bad. In Jersey City, you need to walk onto the actual rails for the light rail to be able to walk safely at Exchange Place.

just ranting but i'm going say this if this map doesn't verify for this weekends storm I'll take 2 weeks off from the forum! I'll be lurking but no talking at all!

I wonder how cold this winter has been versus others. It obviously feels cold, but I wonder how relative it is.

Because of the 10 day thaw January will be below but not close to one of the coldest overall. Impressive stretch we're in now of course
