Shoot, yes, Daily Bugle! I stepped on my punchline.

Thought this group would enjoy this, going back to our topic on regular media looking silly re the weather. From the Post this morning. "Brrr!", "bone-chilling cold", "bitterly cold." You see, it's going to be so cold that they had to show the *lows* rather than the highs for each day. 20s I tell ya! I can almost hear the editor from the Daily Planet in the Spiderman movies shouting "Show the low tempeartures! Say Brrr Bitter cold!" And I *like* the Post lol.

I wonder if we all feel the same way about climate change posts which have been proven wildly incorrect, as evidenced by me being on Long Island and not under 30 feet of ocean. Should we ban those too? Or keep them because after all they are 'directionally correct' and well-meaning?

Old ladies don't see that map. They do see the WABC/WNBC/News 12/etc reporters standing in the DOT yards beside the salt trucks talking to the drivers, obliged to say "I guess this could be a rough one" when its snaining out, and know they better rush out to get the proverbial bread and milk, even if they doubt what they're hearing, because they know the shelves will be bare soon.

Fair enough calling out irresponsible claims or hyping events, but who wants to bet that if we look in the archives for this NBC affiliate we'll see that they've done the same thing a zillion times in the past decade, just with a slightly higher standard? STORM CENTER 7 HAS BEEN ACTIVATED! WE HAVE FULL TEAM COVERAGE ON THIS IMPENDING 2 INCH WET ROADS STORM. STAY TUNED! What the hyperbolic outlets on social media do about megastorms which never materialize, many local affiliates often do with puny nuisance storms as they are happening, which is arguably worse.

I'll just add that I am having the same issue. I first had it years ago and mentioned it here and was responded to, but the problem vanished after a few weeks. I'm experiencing the same thing as this poster. In my case I get what the poster shows but even if I can manage to see the Google Web Browser option, it is greyed out. It's tough to get that far anyway though because there are recurring postage stamp video ads with an unclickable X. BTW I've been free riding here for too long and am going to donate this month. -
A beautiful storm which to me marked the start of the great snowy era which seems to have wrapped up a few years ago. Man, talk about smelling the rain to get the best snow. The rain/snow line was maybe two miles S/E of me here in SE Nassau. Best rates I ever saw. Lowest visibility I ever saw. I have pre-digital pics in which I can't see much further than two houses down my suburban block. Just incredible, and it was at a time before 12' storms were the norm, having only a fuzzy 78, and 83 and 96 in the memory banks.

I was waiting for this opening. Saw this on Twitter the other day. -4 degrees looks like a person sitting on the toilet. That is all.
-
What do we consider the 'official' definition of a White Christmas? Would it be defined as any December 25th in which the official snowcover is measured at greater than 0?
-
I see Nassau is forecast to hit 58 on the 17th. And there it is, the obligatory soul crushing upper 50s/low 60s day within one week of Christmas. @the_other_guy, if it holds up that'll be a not bad call by you 3 months out. The sad part is that it's 57 and rainy as I'm typing this.

Can Accuweather stop it already with the commentary in their forecasts? "Cloudy and increasingly windy; heavy rain and a thunderstorm late; rain will be welcome due to drought Lo: 49"
-
This morning I am witnessing odd grey, vaporous, almost 'puffy' formations overhead, obscuring my view of the sun and the sky. Has anyone ever seen these before?
-
Aurora in Queens sounds like the title of a movie that gets an Oscar nomination.
-
If the last 12 years are a predictor, you're absolutely right that the smart money is on one spirit-crushing muggy upper 50s/low 60s day sometime between 12/16 and 12/25.

I suppose would be for the forthcoming October thread, but maps like this have been a rarity lately and something I love to see in October, short lived as it may or may not be:

Not much rain here yet, but some of the most dramatic, frequent and close proximity cloud to ground lightning in recent memory here - the kind that makes me move quickly from the car to the house lol.

An alligator? More like aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalligator.

These are fantastic.

Some really interesting clouds right now. There are mammatus, right? I've never seen this before in real life.
-
I figure this is okay to post here in banter? I assume you have seen this tornado footage from Nebraska? Holy Moses. https://x.com/NickGormanWX/status/1783950735434031233

I totally agree. I already mourn for when it will be over. Hands down, I'll take standing out there watching in 40s with rain and wind over 70s with blue skies but no more games left to watch..

I think the problem with April is that while warmer than March overall, our expectations are higher for April than for March. I also think that the earlier start to daylight savings puts us mentally in Spring mode sooner than we should be. Anyone with kids in outdoor sports knows that we all freeze our a**es off from March until some point in May, when suddenly a switch is flipped and it's tolerable for a week before oppressive heat kicks in that no one is prepared for.

Did you get that 'flash' that apparently sometimes happens just before totality, as the mountains areas on the moon's surface first obscure the sun? From some videos I caught today that looks awesome.
