Rittenhouse Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Not to beat a dead horse but I think that most people living in NYC have such a love fest for the city that they can't imagine anyone not wanting to live there. For starters, it's expensive as hell. It's noisy, it's dirty in places. Sure, it has a lot of history and charm, which makes it a great place to visit. 25 miles outside the city here in suburbia all I can hear are a few birds chirping and the occasional noise from a low flying plane. At night, I can see most of the stars and I hear silence. For 500,000 you can get a nice house on a nice piece of property. In Manhattan, that wouldn't even buy you a studio appartment. Depends on where in the city you live. It's much cheaper and quieter uptown, and there's a lot more green space. Not to mention that the Hudson Highlands are a short Metro-North ride away. It's also very easy to bike out of the city via Route 9W and S County Trailway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metasequoia Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Different strokes for different folks. I like rural areas (not suburbs full of strip malls and cul de sacs) and urban areas. North and Northwest NJ are beautiful! I love living in Manhattan, but I'm an urban planner...so that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hailstorm Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I wouldnt say great. This winter has been far from great . But you just told me yesterday that I complain too much about this winter too much? Anyway, the AO forecast graph today looks far less bullish than yesterday's.

bluewave Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 So two events make it the greatest ever ? It's been awful and shows long range forecasting is a waste of time . All you kept hearing was wait until February Bla bla Bla , Back end winter garbage , throwing out useless analog years . The 30 days beginning with the blizzard were among the top 30 days for snowfall in any winter from NYC east across Long Island. 30-40 inches of snow for a 30 day period is not too shabby in my book. You realize that NYC and sections of Long Island didn't see a single 30-40 inch snowfall season from 78-79 to 92-93. So unless you were up to the NW and missed the snows, I don't see how anyone can really complain about this winter. Seasonal forecasts are largely experimental. They can make good on some general themes But there is no way they can do justice to the types of extremes that we have experienced in the 2000's. Didn't see too many calls for a +13 December followed by the heaviest daily NYC snowfall of all-time in January and the first below zero degree temperature in February since 1994. If you put that forecast out in October or November you would have been laughed at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzo83 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 The 30 days beginning with the blizzard were among the top 30 days for snowfall in any winter from NYC east across Long Island. JFK and other locations are close to 40 inches of snow for just a 30 day period. You realize that NYC out across parts of Long Island didn't see a single 30-40 inch snowfall season from 78-79 to 92-93. So unless you were up to the NW and missed the snows, I don't see how anyone can really complain about this winter. This winter has been fascinating.

If this is all the snow we are getting this year, I don't think anyone but the far NW crew has anything to complain about. But the far NW got royally screwed, so I can understand their frustration.

Anyway, the AO forecast graph today looks far less bullish than yesterday's. Since Jan 1 KNYC is + 1 . You saw a top 5 Blizzard this year , and a below 0 reading for the 1st time in 30 years . You are AN in the snowfall dept. You live in Brooklyn , you are not suppose to have extreme cold/snowy winters . Considering what the Pacific looked like in November , you are lucky you pulled any of this off . ( However we did tell you this would happen ) AN snow AN temps ,, cough cough . 1 more shot in early March and then we get to watch the Nationals implode again this summer . jk.

But the far NW got royally screwed, so I can understand their frustration.as the saying goes, don't always believe everything you read on the internet. First check to see if adding ever talked about us true or not. Better to be safe then sorry in my opinion. Just saying. As for what you heard/read, no idea if it's true or not.
