The fundamental problem with the whole debate is the angry masses screaming at a cloud syndrome. People are angry at DST because it gets “darker earlier.” It gets darker earlier because the days are shorter. The masses are angry at the shorter days not the clock realignment. It is like being angry at a square root symbol because youre an idiot at math.

I have 3 young kids…I hope this change never happens. For all the idiots living down south or in the eastern parts of a time zone, there are a lot of us up north sending kids to school in darkness. For that reason, I believe it will never happen. It isnt even that extreme here. If you live in a place like Ohio, it will be dark until 9 am. That is ridiculous

Isnt it Columbus Day? Surprised there were classes at all!

this forum and these model fluctuations! Wait til 48 hours out before you go wild. Like slamming your thumb with a hammer over and over again. The best storms we have ever gotten firm up within 48 hours and dont involve a week of social media BS

52F in Queens. 17 mile drive, +14 degrees. haha

37F in Hastings.

Backside snow in NYC? Like betting on the mets in the 8th. Come on

Not yet. Another few weeks

49F in Westchester

Cool looking radar this morning. You dont see squall lines that pronounced around here at 7 am too often

Its actually warm out. A warm breeze. At night. In October

I don’t know anything about a cool down or how long it will last but it is oppressively hot out right now for October. Nothing short of disgusting. I’m sure some records will be broken today.

Can we stop talking about climate change please? There is a thread for that where you can post all about AGW and the ills of humanity until your fingers fall off. This is a local weather thread. Its warm, AGW. We get it. No one cares…move on

I dont think most people deny its happening. I think beyond headlines most people just don’t care that much. They will reasonably make changes as necessary and drown out the overused catastrophic predictions. Personally, im not going to alter my life in any drastic measure to change the trajectory by a decimal point 100 years from now. If that means September is a summer month, I have plenty of shorts and tank tops. I think the biggest friction is between the mass populous that feels somewhat like I do and the doom predictors that want us to drastically change modern life. Up to 76 now!

Newark Airport…the warm cesspool of cement

This has to be one of the most consistently warm Septembers I remember. Not hot…just warm

I was just thinking the same thing as I sit in the traffic cesspool that Queens has become

I mean hoodies and shorts can get you thru mid Dec if youre a dude

We really dont. The weather is lovely. The reservoirs are fine. There’s no wildfires raging. Lets stop creating a crisis where there is none. Its been a little dry. and after several years of ridiculously wet weather in the area, it’s just nature balancing itself out.

Anyone else find it humid out?

Who was worried that it wouldn’t rain today… Looks like it’s sticking around for a good chunk of Sunday

Radar popping nicely. Airmass certainly supports it

westchester doing well tonight!

If we are doing opinions, I think its great. The drier summers and the somewhat normal sept temps last year (and so far this year) are a nice change from Florida humidity and Septembers of +5

That’s like declaring we’re absolutely not done with snow in mid February. We could get into the 90s in September but each week that passes chances diminsh
