Shortline Bus Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share #102 Posted January 27, 2011 DOUBLE SNOW DAY!!! That's something I've certainly never seen before. Almost all of the public and private schools along the I-95 coordior from DC to Boston are closed today. In my neck of the woods, however schools are either a 2-hour delay or opening for 1/2 day at around 11am. Not to mention the storm has screwed up regents exams as well here in NY state.

Aqueduct Posted January 27, 2011 Share #103 Posted January 27, 2011 There should a be a national holiday called "punch a weather forecaster in the face day". No set day either, have it random with a lottery-like drawing every January 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey I am sure you can as good as a job as Al Roker, Sam Champion, Jim Cantore, Nick Gregory or any weathercaster you like? And a descent salary of as high as $2-$3 Million a year.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortline Bus Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share #105 Posted January 27, 2011 If anyone cares another possible northeaster/snowstorm is predicted for next tuesday or wed. 2/1-2/11 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomotion69 Posted January 27, 2011 Share #106 Posted January 27, 2011 I didn't think we were going to get so much snow, they said it was going to snow around 7:00pm, nothing but thunder and lightning,8:00pm still no snow yet, went to sleep around 9:30am and got up at 4:30am, easily 1 foot on the ground. Good job by DSNY at least where I am in Queens, streets are passable, but the cars have to share it with the pedestrians since not everybody shoveled their sidewalks yet. No 40+ degree day in sight, this is insane! Sunday and Monday below freezing for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortline Bus Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share #107 Posted January 27, 2011 Drumroll please.

I know a lot of high school students here in NYC at least only have one regents exam, which occured yesterday as scheduled, despite the snow. Today there are no exams for us that I know of, and we already have off because of regents week. So really, only Elementary/Middle School students are missing school. Yeah, for high school students, a snow day comes along when we already have off from school. Redundant? I don't even... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokkemon Posted January 27, 2011 Share #110 Posted January 27, 2011 Final count in Center City Philadelphia was 15.1 inches of snow. All schools shut down today. There's reports that several SEPTA buses were stranded overnight throughout the city. http://www.myfoxphilly.com/dpp/news/local_news/12711-septa-confirms-bus-passengers-stranded What a wild two days.

EE Broadway Local Posted January 27, 2011 Share #111 Posted January 27, 2011 The New York Post reports that the Winter of 2009-2010 and the Winter of 2010-2011 have seen two records in New York City. During the Winter of 2009-2010, February was our snowiest month ever with 36.9 inches of snow between February 1st and 28th. Then during this Winter, last night's 19.5 inch snowfall makes January 2011 the snowiest ever with a whopping 36 inches between New Year's Day and January 26th. This snaps our previous record of 27.4 inches which had occurred in January 1925 during the Winter of 1924-1925. In addition to the 19.5 inches of snow that fell and accumulated in Central Park in Manhattan, other parts of the city were hit equally hard: 18 inches in The Bronx, 17.3 inches at La Guardia Airport and 10 inches at John F. Kennedy International Airport (both in Queens) and 16 inches on Staten Island. This follows the December 26th blizzard which occurred during the first week of this winter.

Shortline Bus Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share #112 Posted January 28, 2011 A simple question.

2 Train Master Posted January 28, 2011 Share #113 Posted January 28, 2011 What was up with technology for the past week? Last week is started out as a "Major Storm" for Tuesday into Wednesday.As days went by the estimates started coming in 2 days before(Monday) expecting 3-6inches then Tuesday comes still unsure updates are happening of 3-6 in spots 6-9 and 1 foot in Connecticut.Then comes Wednesday we get snow very early than expected dumping about 4 inches! Update comes in at Noon for 6-9 for a total & upto 12inches in higher elevations! Next thing you know today we shitted on with 19+ inches of snow some lower & higher in spots 1-3 inches less than the Blizzard of 12/26.Now what happened between 10pm & 4am? 3in/hr or 2.Whatever happened Mothernature fooled our meterologist and us around the Tri State.But I damn sure didn't expect 19inches I expected 6-9 and since I live in the Bronx I expected at least 8inches.But damn.Its not even October.This is our 3rd MAJOR winter storm for the season right?(12/26/10,then one a few weeks ago dumping over 10 inches and yesterday/todays).East just can't catch a damn break.

Roadcruiser1 Posted January 28, 2011 Share #118 Posted January 28, 2011 I loved snow, but now I hate snow due to this winter season, and I might never love snow again. Thanks mother nature for ruining my love of snow or God if he exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbluefoxie Posted January 28, 2011 Share #119 Posted January 28, 2011 i hate all this snow, im tired of staying home on my days off cuz I cant go out anywhere, I wanna go back to the city and take pictures of the subway trains and maybe ride metro north again They didnt plow any of the walkways where I go to school, usually theyre good about it but this time they completely dropped the ball. As usual they do a half ass job with my street because its not a main road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainFanatic Posted January 28, 2011 Share #120 Posted January 28, 2011 I spent about an hour shoveling out some ice, a path in the driveway, and a path from the road to the sidewalk. One thing I hate about the snow is that the city looks like crap days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petabread Posted January 28, 2011 Share #122 Posted January 28, 2011 The problem is that the usual weather models have had a hard time picking the storms up. They are updated every 6 hrs and they have been very inconsistent. This storm was showing signs of being a big snow maker in NYC only on Tuesday but even this wasn't guaranteed cause the model kept flopping. The storm for next week was thought to come Tuesday but now it's a Wednesday into Thursday deal. As of right now it's a snow maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortline Bus Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share #124 Posted January 31, 2011 Another week another winter storm. This time however not another snow maker. According to the latest weather reports, Tommorrow 2/1/11 into Wed. 2/2/11 will have the whole ball of wax. 2-4 inches in metro NYC. Then a sleet/freezing rain event. :eek: http://www.weather.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortline Bus Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share #125 Posted January 31, 2011 NYC area may be spared with at most 2-4 inches of snow/sleet/freezing rain, in the midwest especially from Chicago-Buffalo they talking the biggest blizzard in years. http://WWW.WGNTV.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
