I wish I could walk around in Brooklyn during this snowstorm

[steve2470]

I'm from Florida, where snow is as rare as non-Florida man stories. I can't go see the snow, because I am having dinner with my son tonight for his 20th birthday. By the time I got there, it would be all over and melting probably.

Next time! No, I'm not going to shovel your snow, I don't like it that much!

1. We haven't seen the first snowflake fall in southern Ulster County.

2. really ? it's snowing like hell in Brooklyn from what I see on the radar

Lucky you! No shoveling

5. It's Very Windy! There would be whitecaps in the pond if the unfrozen surface was bigger.

Lucky fish have a slightly warm 24 inch circle around the deicer.


BTW ~ Happy Birthday to your son.

6. thank you! :)

I know the vast majority of you folks up north HATE snow, so I hope you're spared it. Kind of a strange thing, my gain (if I was in Brooklyn), and their loss. Oh well, life sucks at times. Beastly hot weather in Florida in summer translates to a very nice vacation spot in the winter.

7. Florida weather does get a bit monotonous (IMHO)

I'm in NYC. I visitited a friend in Daytona Beach area many times, ususally in the summer when the weather was: "90s in the day, 70s at night, chance of thunderstorms." I joked to her that if the news stations wanted to save money they could tape one forecast and use it for 3-4 months. (She didn't laugh.)

8. it's true, that's the weather usually for 4 months or so

The weather people on TV try to put lipstick on a pig, but to Florida natives like me, we can see the lipstick.

9. She wasn't born there - she was born in Brooklyn -

moved down to take care of her aged parents a couple decades back. She did say she missed the change of seasons that we have up here. But, Florida's subtropical, so...

O God they just upped the forecast - a half hour ago it was 12 to 18 inches for here. Now it's 12 to 24.

11. bummer! :/ nt

[we can do it]

12. My aunt is in Woodstock, glad you are being spared this time.

We're in NE Ohio and glad to be out of the storm's fury for once.

13. Little teeny tiny flakes just started falling.

3. There are lots of folks who are seeing way more snow than they would like:

Snow storm causes 35-mile backup on southbound Interstate 75 in Kentucky

says Breaking News site.

Why that many people would be out in their cars during a warned snow storm is beyond me.

4. yea I would hate to be them!

At least walking around, as long as you have good shoes or boots on and you're very careful, no worries! Last year I learned the vital importance of having super-grippy boots while walking around in NYC. I almost fell and broke my ass several times.
