uncle W Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 That snow argument is just stupid, BUT in a conversation with my father, I finally began to realize why old people think like that. He told me that 50 years ago in Elizabeth, the side streets never got plowed. It could take a week before you could really get through. Now, although the street does get more narrow, they're plowing at least every hour, and in a day or two, the street is relatively passable. So it's not really the amount of snow, but perhaps, due to more money in snow removal budgets and better plowing/salting, a foot of snow is less impact than it was 50 years ago. when I lived on 64ST in Brooklyn after the December 1960 storm my block was not plowed for more than two days after the storm...The February 1961 storm was plowed when the snow ended...The Dept of sanitation needed three plows for the February storm...The first one would ram the snow until it stopped...backed up and rammed it again...It took a while but they did plow the block...Since I moved to Staten Island I lived on a major street that was plowed fast...I just got a buyer for my house so I'll be moving soon...I'm still keeping an apartment on S.I. when I find one...I will buy a vacation house in Florida or some other place...

NEXtreme Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 If people's predictions from 50 years ago came true, we'd most likely have the moon colonized and be driving around flying cars. Also Russia would have knocked down the World Trade Center and not Al Qaeda. 1975 : Newsweek Explained How Global Cooling Causes Extreme Droughts, Floods, Dry Spells And Heatwaves TIME Magazine June 1974: Another Ice Age?

I can't wait for the Ryan Biden Debate! You mean Cap and Tax? What the overwhelming majority of the American people don't want? Since Jesus is not running on his record maybe he should run on this? LMAO Increase taxes by $2.4 TRILLION over the next decade, virtually guaranteeing that not only does our economy get even worse, but that it NEVER recovers. Drive already sky-high energy costs through the roof, costing hardworking families over $3,900 per year through rising prices (robbing them of what little money they have left in these tough economic times); Result in as many as 2.5 million lost American jobs PER YEAR as energy-intensive industries are forced to close down or move operations overseas; Line the pockets of Big Government politicians who will pick and choose which politically-connected energy producers get rewarded with taxpayer subsidies and which ones are shut down... all based on campaign contributions, of course. Obama:100% success rate bankrupting green energy companies using taxer payer money! Hope and Change baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow_Miser Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I think that we will find our answer over the next 10-15 years as pretty much every single natural factor begins to have a cooling influence on the Climate system. If we do not cool, but flatline, we can assume that the natural forcings are about as important as the anthropogenic forcing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hailstorm Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I've had somber bad luck living here in southern Brooklyn for severe storms the past few years. I've seen no severe storms for years while places that I have visited this summer for a day immediately had a tornado (Bohemia, LI) and wind/hail (Rego Park) a week after I left. What gives?

SmokeEater Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 And another day in central jersey where storms are all around but miss my area, same old story this summer. The entire state doesn't have a storm yet, pretty much the only place that has gotten hit so far is LI. And it's only 2pm, stop whining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a right to whine, I've missed out on almost every good storm for the past 2 months, the best thing was that shelf cloud with that weakening bow echo/line if you wanna call it that.
