IsentropicLift Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'm a fan of splitting up the forum just to keep things calmer in general. That way AG3 and AllSnow can go have a love fest in the NYC-LI forum and I'll stay out of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfa Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I don't think it's necessary. The climatic differences between LI and NJ aren't great enough to warrant separate subforums, in my opinion. I feel similarly about NYC/Philly, the climatic differences are minute, LGA and PHL are virtually clones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I believe they have a Northern New England thread though.They do, which is fine because the weather in New England varies dramatically between the southern coastal plain and the VT/NH/ME mountains. Nassau and Suffolk Counties aren't that dissimilar from NYC as others have mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 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. 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...
gravitylover Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Forky hit it - I never even have time to get to the general board anymore and haven't read the mid atlantic more than a few minutes this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjay Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 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. Who cares what it's called. Lol geez.

The label "tri state" isn't limited to this area, and the NYC metro actually includes 4 states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 There are many days when we are better aligned with SNE and many days when we are better aligned with NYC. Alas, today is one of the NYC days. Forky has a very good point. However, a separate thread would mean we would not have to read mis-statements concerning LI climo from self-appointed experts who don't live here. I guess there are pros and cons to everything, So...if there is a separate LI thread, I'll be in it, but it isn't necessarily going to help a lot. On a more constructive note, we should think about an LI GTG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I have nothing against NYC or the name. It's NYC, I get it. One of the largest cities in the world. I just think that the regular posters we have are heavily lopsided to the city and points East. We need more posters in Western NJ to balance things out.

IsentropicLift Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'll give you a prime example. If Sussex for some reason recorded 30" of snow with a storm and for some reason the city tainted and ended up with a slushy inch, you would hear crickets here. The fact of the matter is, most posters only care about there own backyards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter201415 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Can someone delete this topic please. Long Island is part of the tri state. There are better things to discuss especially with 3 winter storms possibly looming for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WintersGrasp Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I don't think we can really get too specific with individual subforums. If it continues, soon we will be having "west Milford lower elevations" and "west Milford higher elevations" forums and others dedicated to other microclimates within our areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 But doesn't that just show there are more NYC/LI posters here than NNJ/LHV posters? I'm not sure how splitting the forum would solve a demographics problem. There'd still be crickets -- in a mostly empty sub-forum. That's a good point, but if you notice we have plenty of posters from Western sections whenever we have a larger event. They just don't post as regularly.

bluewave Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Not that the current snowfall map to date matches the mean, but there is no reason to divide the majority of NYC Metro which is 20"-35" seasonal snowfall zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Who would have guessed the NYC and points west guys cared? We really have three distinct and unique sections. Sometimes they overlap, but in general they are seperate. You have the interior, made up of Orange, Sussex, Warren, Morris, Western Passaic, Rockland and Dutchess Counties. Maybe you can put Northern Westchester and the North shore of LI in there too. Then you have CNJ, coastal NNJ, NYC, and SW LI. Then you have the rest of LI and SNJ.

NW areas definitely do deserve the subforum though because some areas do average double or more snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
