The Broadway shows will go on and most of the subways are running (except where they go in open-cut viaducts in some of the outer boroughs).
Breaking: Climatologists on suicide watch?
50 degrees and sunny (!) here in Seattle. Still wish I was trudging through the snow to the Chinese takeout place on 93rd and 3rd (Brooklyn that is!) right now.
This is probably the remnants of the 40 below weather that moved through Poland, Russia, and Alaska the past month.
[The storm caught some New Yorkers by surprise, coming on the heels of an unusually mild January.]
Anyone who is caught by surprise by a February snowstorm in New York is an idiot.
I sure hope the Federal Government and FEMA responded fast enough with the taxpayers' checkbook. I don't think I can stand very much more Katrinaesque WHINING from the DemocRATS and their voter base!!!! Anyone know if FEMA showed up in New York with the bags of ice yet?
NWS had thought that possibly the strongest bands would stay offshore or that if the main part of the storm came ashore, that it would turn to rain in the city.
They missed on the temperature so when that happened, NYC got the double whammy. Increased moisture and colder air.
But a full foot off is QUITE a bit.
they hyped this I think, did they measure in a snow drift?
More lies from the liberal media - NO WAY was this the biggest storm for NYC - but if it's not the biggest, most deadly, "what you don't know about snow CAN hurt you" hyped news, well we just can't get top dollar for our advertising minutes. In the meantime, people are panicking and hoarding food, while they could be enjoying a pretty snow fall in the city.
And 26.4 inches of global warming in 1947.
I am very VERY happy I moved to FLORIDA. No snow here.
Upstater here- we'll no doubt be sending a fleet of State plows, loaders and truck-mounted snowblowers down there to help dig out (just like always.)
That's always the problem when it snows in urban areas- where do you put it?
Don't they actually have heated trailers down there that melt the snow and let it run into the sewers?
I wonder, will the DEC stop them from dumping the salt-laden slush in the salt water of the harbor?
Good luck, and stay warm and safe!
What? We were warned DAYS, almost a week, ahead of time. Everybody was making preparations for the storm.
So were you clobbered? :-)
