Bobby Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I understand that there is a NYC Metro forum and that's great. Yes NYC is physically a part of LI but it is VERY different for the most part climate/weather wise. I really think there are enough members from the area to warrant a separate sub forum. The PBP, forecasting and wish casting on the NYCMetro forum is so heavily biased to that area and Jersey. I know of quite a few members who live in N/S counties that could Likey do very good PBP's for the area. Just by a show of posts, yes or no, who else feels that Nassau/Suffolk counties deserve their own sub forum? Thanks! Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nygmen Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 you could argue that SW CT should be in a separate subforum too-we're too far NE for most in this forum and too far SW for the NE forum. Not sure if I would lump with LI though, LI is usually much warmer in the winter with less snow that here. much warmer...no, less snow...varies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Why don't you guys just start your own thread like us NW folks did? A sub-forum of a sub-forum is a bit much IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Split it right down the Hudson River. NYC, LI, Westchester and SW CT in one forum. The LHV, CNJ and NNJ in the other. I'll even throw in Middlesex and Monmouth Counties if thats what it takes. I never liked naming sub-forums after cities. NYC and Philly are the only two that exist. The New England forum isn't the Boston forum and I think that's great. It makes everyone feel equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swataz Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I agree. There's a consistent microclimate that differentiates LI from NYC Metro in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazzo83 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 This is ridiculous. The whole of New England and the mid Atlantic are sub forums without further subdivision. Trust me, the weather in Caribou vs Cape Cod or Garrett Co MD vs Norfolk constitutes a MUCH wider spread than Vernon, NJ to Montauk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forkyfork Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 do you really want even fewer meteorologists in the NYC forum? I miss when this was one big board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Northern and Eastern Queens are very similar to LI. So is the Bronx. Both are part of NYC. I think for the most part the weather on LI is similar to NYC except for the far east end which is more in line with SNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 On which side of the Hudson River is the Lower Hudson Valley? I'm mostly referring to the counties on the West side of the river because I'm under the impression that once North of the Westchester County line most people either consider themselves part of the NE forum or the PA/NY forum.

ag3 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I think for the most part the weather on LI is similar to NYC except for the far east end which is more in line with SNE. Overall yes. But there are parts of the North shore of LI that average 32"-35". But overall, the weather is very similar to NYC. Especially Queens and the Bronx.

jm1220 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 People NEED to grow up and NEED to stop bickering over who favors what and NEED to stop being so IMBY focused. Long Island gets plenty of coverage here, and NW areas already have their own thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, the weather in Caribou vs Cape Cod or Garrett Co MD vs Norfolk constitutes a MUCH wider spread than Vernon, NJ to Montauk. Then change the name to the Tri-State Area forum, instead of naming it after one city in a very large area. I don't know why we have to call it the NYC forum when Boston and Washington DC can survive as part of New England and the Mid-Atlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC-CT Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Just by a show of posts, yes or no, who else feels that Nassau/Suffolk counties deserve their own sub forum?

Especially Queens and the Bronx. Again, the north shore is probably more in line with SNE. And it makes sense that Queens would be similar to LI, Queens is physically part of Long Island.

chietanen Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Nassau and Suffolk counties deserve rain in January. Lots and lots of rain. Post of the year. Seriously, either start a thread like the NW burbs folks, or, better yet, just learn to read a model and figure out what it shows for your backyard.

jm1220 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Does anyone notice that this is the only sub forum that demands more subforums and sub threads? Do you see a "we need a Cape Cod subforum" in the New England subforum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB GFI Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Leave it alone . Stop the petty IMBY crap . We have no problem when POU gets 12 and KBLM changes to rain . No one should care if KISP gets 12 and NW misses . You do not want to shrink the board or you will end up shrinking good contributions . Leave it the way it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 In all seriousness, there is nothing wrong with a Long Island thread, just like the NW thread. Although you're going to end up with it being mostly Suffolk County folks only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When this was the Philly to NYC forum it was a better representation of the entire area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look they have a lot of sub-sections. Plus outside of severe season things are typically pretty quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
