Staten Island should really just be its own city at this point, or join NJ.

they tried that years ago and it didn't go anywhere...one argument was we would pay more taxes because tax paying big business was mostly in Manhattan...

Stupid NYC wouldn't even close for 6 inches I wish lol

It would have to be like 10 or more and also falling during the day.

I never got to experience a true off day with a snowstorm in my entire school years. In December 1973 I had to go to school during an ice storm with wires down and three branches falling and ice falling everywhere I was in school that day.

I was in the middle of transferring schools in January 1978 because my mother won a fight against the Board of Education of the city of New York. That’s another story of itself.

I officially started my new school after the blizzard of February 1978. The February 1983 storm started on a Friday so by the time it ended the next morning it was Saturday so that was the end of that.

Wednesday to Friday is going to have one of the biggest 850 mb temperature changes here that you can imagine.

Full blown summer this week

Hopefully it’s without dews in the 70s.

We will see a brief stretch of above normal temperature days through mid-week before we turn back to below normal temperatures by Thursday and through the Memorial Day Weekend. Many lower valley locations should reach 90 degrees both tomorrow and Tuesday. Higher spots across Chester County will always struggle to touch 90. Rain chances increase by Wednesday PM with the cold front, and it does look a bit unsettled as we move into the holiday weekend.

Got to 90 degrees here. Blah

89, pool 82

High of 89.6⁰

Memorial Day weekend continues to look real crappy

What else is new.

Ewr will hit 120 tomorrow

A hot start to the week with our warmest day tomorrow before a sharp chill down by Memorial Day weekend. Many valley locations could touch 90 degrees both today and for sure tomorrow. Some higher ridges may fall a bit short of 90 both days. By Thursday temperatures should be at least 20 degrees cooler than Wednesday. In fact, while the current NWS forecast has highs in the mid 60's both Friday and Saturday I suspect much of Chester County will struggle to get out of the chilly 50's both Friday and Saturday. Shower chances increase on Wednesday with shower chances continuing through the weekend.

I experienced the Christmas Eve 1966 blizzard visiting my cousins in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. There was cloud the ground lightning with the snow and actually several house fires. The problem is I don’t remember any of it because I was only two months old. I believe the area I was at got close to 20 inches of snow.

The Christmas eve snowstorm of 1966 could have been epic if the snow didn't change to sleet in NYC in the afternoon...I was disappointed at the time...It still was a 7" snowstorm the day before Christmas...but I was used to that because there were three 6-8" storms just before Christmas in 1959, 1961 and 1963...so there was four in eighth years...since 1966 there are only 1995 and 2009 and they came on the 20th of December...

Somerville toasty at 93 degrees
