jm1220 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Man, it's gonna be a nail biter down on the south shore tomorrow early afternoon. The hi res RGEM actually took totals down here since we fight back and forth for a time. But after 21z, the CCB looks to swing through and much more of Long Island sees significant totals from that. Riverhead gets something like 8-10" this run vs. 1" last run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does so much for the kids. And I know that she is worried about having to go to work tomorrow despite having a newer Jeep 4x4. I really really REALLY hope Mayor Zero Vision reconsiders. Aides are only for special needs kids. It is the most restrictive thing you can do to a kid under the law. But some kids really need them. We'd be unable to run some programs without them.

weatherbear5 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 If these colder solutions end up verifying, a lot of people are going to be caught off guard, potential exists for a disastrous evening commute on LI. It will be bad elsewhere, of course, but I think at this point most people, if not everyone, expects that in the LHV, eastern PA, northern NJ etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate it when they do this. I work in a private school that follows the public schools for snow closings. On a good day my commute is between 1.25 and 1.45 hours. I love snow; I just hate driving in it. Plus, if my kids' school cancels but my school doesn't -- I'll need to take the day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before de Blasio, any school closing- as rare as they were- were always announced at 5:00 am. For all the bashing the man takes, he was the one who not only has given people more time to plan; he's actually closed the schools several times. I was a teacher for 32 years until last June- from the monster storm in January 1993 until I think 2010 or 2012 (can't remember- but it was either 17 or 19 years) we didn't have a single snow day.

NJwx85 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 NYC public schools never used to close, and the world didn’t end. This idea of closing is a new concept and pretty pointless in Manhattan. Outer boroughs are somewhat of a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Queens, roads are a disaster with just moderate snow falling and an inch or two total.

jm1220 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Pretty safe to say totals will be taken up across the board. Given the trends tonight, Central Park has a decent shot to make it to 12". Immediate shore areas especially western Suffolk/Nassau/Rockaways, jury still out. Hopefully heavier rates can keep the mixing out. Eastern Suffolk now has a shot at the CCB given the 700 low track. Could be a nice finish despite rain for much of the meat of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 The hand-wringing by public officials over whether to close school in NYC was always so alien to me. Snow days throughout the winter are just part of life, and have been for generations, in most cold climates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember sitting in a power outage in Elizabeth in the Dec 92 storm all day with a 7th grade class when all the surrounding suburban districts closed early. That was pointless.
