Teachers always complain. meanwhile, the rest of us show up to work on time with a smile on her we get fired. Go figure. that said the city is in for a rough go in terms of melting because there’s no warm air and if another major snowstorm hits, it’s gonna hurt on those tight streets. Throwing the snow in the street and watching it melt with traffic and 35 degrees isnt going to work this go around. back in the 90s, they would close the school yard and let the teachers park there during a major snow situation… but with the political optics in the city these days, I don’t see that happening

I never saw snow like that before in Queens. The mounds were unbelievable. And then we got to 2016 and that was what my grandparents talked about when they said they couldn’t find the car

I knew this was a 10-20 inch storm based on 1.5 inches of precip and artic air. Models be damned…sometimes you gotta use your gut

Im on the fire truck with heavy snow falling again in Westchester. Switched over in last 15 mins

Easily 16 inches a few miles south of White Plains

I don’t even know how to measure this because of the drifts but gotta be closing in on a foot and a half up here in Westchester. A crazy amount of snow and now sleet. It’s been many years.

What the fuck are you talking about? Seriously? Literally hours of frozen precip to go

actually, what I said was this is a 10 to 20 inch storm. And whatever falls is gonna stick and stick hard.

1. Never discount the HRRR. 2. You guys have been searching for sleet to ruin a snowstorm since Thursday. Meanwhile closing in on 7 inches…and 12F

Light and fluffy for all those that said this would be dense and wet hahaha

It happens in my job too as I have another power position. Half the time we deice, we dont have to. It costs thousands if dollars, wastes 15-30 mins, and spreads a ton of toxic chemicals. I often bypass the process when its not needed by a simple wing check. but in this day and age, you better be confident im your decision. You better be right in your decision. You better be in control of your decision, and you better be in the air safely and quickly in your decision. When it involves 1000 school kids you can’t say any of.

This is the same 10-20 inch storm it has been for days…

On the edge of what? What the heck are you talking about? Monster snowstorm headed right for you. Just enjoy it. I can’t even believe the stuff I’m reading in this forum. You have 0 chance of waking up with 4 inches of snow on Monday morning. This is supposed to be a scientific forum that looks at models and discusses them. you have 1 inch to one and a half inches of precipitation moving into an airmass that is pure arctic. Even if this forums wildest deranged fantasies come true of an all sleet fest you’re gonna have more than 4 inches crap on the ground when all is said and done. A lot more. Step back from the imaginary cliff edge you and an echo chamber walked yourselves onto over the past 72 hours.

I’m surprised nobody’s talking about how warm it is today. Much warmer than forecast.
