nzucker Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I'm back in Westchester for spring break, actually at work now doing some subbing at the local public high school to catch up with people and make some extra money. It's one of the chillier days we've had in a while, sitting at 47.4/27 here in Tarrytown. HPN made it down to 34F this morning, and we could see a hard freeze across most of the county Friday or Saturday morning as the 6z GFS shows 850mb temperatures near -6C at 12z Saturday. It's amazing how far the vegetation is here...magnolias are mostly done, and the maples seem to be ready to leaf out in the next 2 weeks as the red flowers have yielded to the first hints of green. I'll be moving back to Westchester in early June as I've received a teaching fellowship with NYC schools...I have training from June 11th to August 3rd, and then I will start teaching (probably in the Bronx) in September. I will eventually be getting an apartment in the City but not until October/November when I know more about my job/neighborhood and have the pay saved up. So I will be posting here regularly again after my stint in New Hampshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're back to the fickle and unreliable winters of NYC - that's a relief - at least you can share in our misery once again. That sounds exciting w/ the job - good luck. Let me know how it goes. I'll be student teaching in the PHL area next spring semester, can't believe how quickly it's coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cold&cloudy Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Why would anyone want a Nor'Easter that brings raw low 40s and heavy rain? Worst weather possible... it's just obnoxious at this point that some are still rooting for cold/snow... I was off that train by 2/1, I love a good old nor'easter, even if it's rain. We could use it anyway. Beautiful morning here. Sunny and 45 F with a refreshing breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a half decent chance I'll be living in California next winter too...working at a non-meteorology related job with a friend. So there's the potential for me to not see a single flake of snow.

SnoSki14 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 We've got to have something to make the general public miserable; they've been way too complacent the past several months, and their happiness is making me sad. I also can't stand those all too happy TV personality weather casters and even radio weather forecasters so delightfully cheery about forecasting another "beautiful sunny day". I wonder what they'll say when we do get a major brush fire due to all that dry air and if we do enter a serious drought this year, will they be forecasting another beautiful sunny day with a happy smile. During the major, devastating drought in Texas, I couldn't believe how cheery those forecasters were about forecasting another sunny day knowing how devastating the weather was to the population, the regional economy, and nature.

I don't think NYC will ever be in danger of Texas-like drought conditions. Brushfires are way overrated, anyways--no-one here is seriously concerned. The worst that could happen is a few exurban McMansions burning down, and that wouldn't be a loss many would grieve over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthlight Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 It's funny...there was a semi-parallel discussion in the main forum a few days ago after the Dallas tornado. Someone brought up the topic "did the SPC mess up" in not issuing a Moderate or High Risk for the small area where there were tornadoes (a pretty ridiculous criticism considering they had a 10% tornado probability and mention of the potential small-coverage tornadic event). I couldn't help but think that if these tornadoes were in a middle of a field, nobody would care...but since it occurred near a major city and was covered wall to wall on all news networks, the general perception is that the SPC should have issued a higher risk and thrown red flags into the air with sirens on their website.

Good post. It's a game of probability with tornadoes. It just so happens that in this particular outbreak, the small area impacted was a populated one. If you've got 100 counties, 98 out of those 100 counties are fields, and 2/100 are populated areas, obviously the chances heavily favor a tornado cutting through a rural zone. But since this tornado beat the odds so to speak, everyone goes crazy like it's the worst outbreak ever, etc, needed a mod/high risk, when in reality, it wasn't a widespread severe weather event. The tornadoes were extremely locallized, but unfortunately they managed to hit the one area that really mattered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
