An excuse, really, to post this photo that I liked from last Monday along Second Avenue by Derek Berg…
Also! WINTER STORM WARNING!
Winter Storm Warning in effect from 7 pm this evening to 6 pm EST Monday.
The National Weather Service in New York has issued a Winter Storm Warning for snow, sleet and freezing rain, which is in effect from 7 pm this evening to 6 pm EST Monday.
Locations: The New York City and New Jersey metropolitan areas, northern Nassau and Northwest Suffolk Counties, and southeastern coastal Connecticut.
Hazard types: snow, sleet and freezing rain.
Accumulations: snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches, along with around one quarter of an inch of ice.
Winds: northeast 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 25 mph.
Temperatures: in the upper 20s.
Visibilities: one quarter mile or less at times.
Timing: tonight through Monday.
Impacts: hazardous travel due to reduced visibilities and significant snow, sleet and ice accumulations.
I just found this updated EV version of the weather forecast:
ReplyDeleteLocations: Outdoors. Indoor snow doubtful, so just stay indoors. Tompkins Square Park will get more snow than surrounding areas because it's a park. Hungry Squirrel Advisory is in effect, so bring lots of nuts.
Hazard types: Closed Hookah bars, speedings taxis, and noisy outdoor beer pong players expected after midnight. SnowMen may appear suddenly without warning. SnowFemales advised to use caution.
Accumulations Heavy periods of snow expected to overload thousands of NYU student and tourist smartphones. Additional iCloud storage is recommended.
Temperatures: Cold. It's a snowstorm.
Visibilities: Visibility will vary from across the street to down the block. The warehouse fire in Williamsburg may become invisible at times, but amateur news photographers are advised not to panic since it's expected to burn for several more weeks.
Timing:As soon as it gets here until whenever it finally leaves the area.
Impacts:Long lines at Veniero's, Trader Joe's and most liquor stores expected. Imperial Walkers reenacting the Battle Of Hoth near the Death Star and drunk Super Bowl spectators throwing snowballs at the Keith Haring sculpture are likely.
Nice Giovanni.....reminds me of George Carlin's hippy-dippy weatherman schtick....
ReplyDelete"Forecast for tonight......
......DARK!"
(And do you think he would be having any fun with Deflategate? :+)
Hippy Dippy weather said, "Forecast for tonight: mostly dark."

"Do you have termites, waterbugs, and roaches? Well, Parsons [pest control] will get rid of the termites and waterbugs and help ya smoke the roaches!"
Amazing how these guys cant get a storm correct but we are supposed to believe the long term climate change they espouse? So the liberal nanny state democrats can get even more power over our daily lives? Ridiculous. They claim that records of questionable accuracy dating back to the 1880s should be used as a basis to take over our lives.
ReplyDeleteThe gall of these so-called 'scientists' is amazing. I heard one person say how 'the science is settled' Spoken like a true liberal arts grad from Vermont. Science is NEVER settled and shouldn't be politicized. They sound like the folks who killed scientists for daring to suggest the earth wasn't flat or the center of the universe. Sad and pathetic.
@Anon. 4:11 - Please explain to me how you are able to equate a small number of perfectly-coiffed and bleached-teeth New York weather reporters with serious scientists the world over, 97% of whom believe the activities of humankind are having a serious impact on the climate? You can use words of one syllable if that makes it easier for you.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if there had not been a sudden shift in the wind direction, the massive storm that hit Boston WOULD have hit us. They're weathermen, not mind readers.
Time to go back to Montana, honey, and wait for the black helicopters. Go on, we won't miss you.
Typical snooty condescending liberal response. Never been to Montana. As far as helicopters go the NYPD has them and machine guns too. Keep drinking the cool aid honey
ReplyDeleteThat's spelled Kool-Aid, Brainiac. Still waiting for a reply to the query I posted in my first paragraph, but after that, please explain how the subject of climate change has somehow morphed in your thought process into the NYPD having machine guns and choppers, wouldja?
ReplyDeleteI was referring to the national weather service. Not some local hack. You mentioned choppers in your insult. I simply pointed out that the NYPD already has them. I guess science being politicized is OK now. Can't dispute what Obama says right? Sad.
ReplyDeleteWeather and climate are not the same thing.
ReplyDeleteahh, Thanks Griever's. This inane comment banter makes me smile. And that is not in judgement. I just enjoy the passionate opinions, from what ever side a person is from. Although,lately there may be a few paid opinions being posted. I guess that is the price of this blog being shared on sites like curbed. They are very obvious, yet they do try really hard. If any landlords want to pay me to post fake pro landlord comments, I could do a better job than the millennial twits you are paying now.
