I just don't see that there's really anything to do up there besides skiing. You still don't think you are the biggest weenie in here?

Sorry metsfan, he's got you beat by a mile lol sorry, I just dont really like going out of major cities unless I'm at my other house and even that really annoys me because everything is so far away from each other. Besides skiing why exactly would one go to the Catskills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberty I don’t believe you consciously troll. Instead you enjoy the give and take of a lively discussion. I also understand/experience the convenience of living deep within a major city. The formula seems to be ‘C’ity + ‘C’onvenience = ‘L’iving. The accuracy of the formula becomes problematic once you have a Catskills type experience. I’m entranced with the idea of living in a building that is also a forest and a park. One that could possibly be thought of as a low rise Catskills on the coastal plain. I imagine the thought of NYC trading UHI for radiational cooking. I’m also old and will never live to see such a wonder. And even though I may neve again walk the paths of a blessed place like the Catskills I will stand, eyes closed, in my postage stamp and continue to dream. Stay well all.

Juliancolton Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Skiing isn't even that great in the Catskills. It's pretty far down on the list of reasons one might go there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I actually like going to the Poconos, because it's not as cold there as it is further north. Camelback is pretty good to ski at without getting the extreme cold of Upstate NY.

Yep, all part of the Apps. but I keep looking at Monticello temps and it's intolerably cold. Granted the southern Poconos where my other home is can get really cold too, but it hits the 60s there almost every winter a few times. It's just one county NW of Allentown.

I think exposure to these places helps because as a child growing up in Queens I used to think that way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always shocks me when they get less snow than us because I'm conditioned from the 80s where N/W always got double or triple times the snow we did in every storm.

Agree if you listened to the news it's always 1-3 in the city, more North and West, yet winter storms are not that simple..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HVSnowLover Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Also I used to think North and West literally meant North and West of the city, like a line from Fort Lee to Yonkers to CT Coast (and maybe it did in the 90s lol). But now North and West seems to be more like Mahwah to Ossining to Mount Kisco. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now North and West seems to be more like Mahwah to Ossining to Mount Kisco. It's vague when demarcations are not mentioned for an event (like 287, 84, Thruway, TZB, or "far N&W", etc). I grew up in Queens and had family in Rockland and thought of that as the hinterlands when I was a kid lol. And snow forecasts always seemed to be "more N&W". I've been where I am now (north-central Bergen county at the Rockland border) for 30 years and since it's not that far N&W but still somewhat so, I am often not sure when "N&W" is just generically thrown around how far N&W is actually meant. The way the crow flies I am about 16 miles from the GWB in Ft Lee, 22 from midtown Manhattan, 35 from the south shore of Brooklyn and 9 from where the TZB hits Rockland and a couple of miles south of due west of it. Following along here helps (I've actually been around since ne.weather but don't post much) and pros (Criag Allen, Lee Goldberg and Nick Gregory are really the only ones I pay attention to) do usually indicate distances/locations. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
