Nah. I'm good. If this is the benefit to climate change, I'll take it.

Nope! We will never see snow again! Ever! But we will see an increase in exclamation points!

Look. I'm not saying no to snow. I'm just saying that I'm happy that the end result is we aren't getting snow in NYC. Let other areas outside the city get snow. Especially upstate.

It feels like 3 months of October, and it's eerie. I hope we get at least one big storm before Spring.

Our weather changed. We probably won’t get small snow storms anymore (back in the 80’s-90’s you’d get 3-5 inch storms every week or two because the cold temperatures were more consistent.) now you’ll get a big blizzard that melts in two days.

“New York City, after years of being considered a humid continental climate, now sits within the humid subtropical climate zone. The classification requires that summers average above 72 degrees Fahrenheit — which New York’s have had since 1927 — and for winter months to stay above 27 degrees Fahrenheit, on average. The city has met that requirement for the last five years, despite the occasional cold snap. And the winters are only getting warmer.”

For summers; “Annually, the city gets about the same amount of rain as it has over the last few decades, but it comes in deluges, instead of steady, moderate downfalls, said Dr. Bassuk, the Cornell professor. And there is more time in between rain events, making drought more likely.”
