The National Weather Service has cancelled its blizzard warning for New York City as snow and sleet continues to fall across the Tri-State area. A winter weather advisory is now in effect for the city, Hudson and northern Nassau counties until 8 p.m. Tuesday. The storm was expected to dump a foot or more of snow on the New York City area with wind gusts of up to 55 mph.

The storm actually has shifted, it shifted west,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo told “CBS This Morning.” “There’s less snowfall in New York City, there’s less snowfall on Long Island. There’s actually more in the Hudson Valley and the western part of the state.”

ROFL! Wasn’t there a reporter durning Katrina or another flood, placed into some kind of puddle so it looked like he was thigh high in water, and some people walked by in about 2 inches of water??

Often the concern for schools isn’t getting the children there - it is getting them home afterwards. Our projection is falling (I’m a dozen miles west of NYC in NJ), but it is still expected to snow for hours.

In the past hour it switched over to sleet here in Newtown, CT. The accumulating snow appears to be done - we got about 8 inches. So just a standard run-of-the-mill March winter storm in these parts. We usually get our last winter storm around this time of year. In a couple of weeks, we'll all be thinking about spring. I was talking to my office in Manhattan and the streets there are just slushy and wet. If I had gone in, I would have had just a normal day. Well at least I'm getting my paperwork and reports all caught up with.

Almost without fail, the biggest hyped storms turn out to be duds. It's the surprise storms that tend to clobber us. And these forecasts are done by the same people who are 100% sure of global warming years from now!

Yes....I think the reporter was in a small boat in (a puddle) of water....when people walked past him, from behind. LOLOL.

The report, this morning, reminded me a little bit of that!!

Weather is FAKE NEWS most of the time.

[riri]

I was set to fly into Albany tonight. They cancelled my flight on Sunday.

I have to leave Saturday now. It's OK with me, it's 90 and sunny here.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Bread/eggs/milk/TP sales up 100%, though.

Why is it that these heavy storms prompt people to make French Toast?

[Carriage Hill]

French toast and/or Waffles are “traditional” for snow storms and blizzards.

Fried egg sandwiches, grilled cheese & soup, etc etc etc...

"Red skies in the morning, sailors take warning. Red skies at night, sailors delight."

We had a similar thread a couple of years ago when a major snowstorm that was predicted to hit NYC turned into a minor snowfall.

Everyone was complaining that "the National Weather Service got it wrong," but I had a sense that it wasn't as wrong as we thought. I was up early that morning and saw the most brilliant red sunrise I've ever seen on the East Coast, so I figured there was a whopper of a storm out there east of New York City.

Sure enough, eastern Long Island and the Providence and Boston areas got 24+ inches of snow.

Red skies at night....Red skies at night....Wo oh....oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh....

[Alberta's Child]

That was on the "Today" show in the early 2000s. LMAO.

Bullsh!t NBC News Report

[Alberta's Child]

LOL. I’m sure Rush has seen a few snowstorms, since they’re Canadian.

[Alberta's Child]

LOL. I’m sure Rush has seen a few snowstorms, since they’re Canadian. Or was that The Fixx?

[dfwgator]

Rush?!?!?!? That’s The Fixx.

Since radar and instant communication - we have begun to complain if the weather prediction is a few miles off. IMHO, the meteorologists do a great job. I have not seen any reports of death or injury on the roads - so it is commendable that people are taking precautions and staying home where possible. God bless
