Glad they’re fixing the sidewalks, in their current state they are truly dumpy and really take away from the rest of the building.

such an odd variance between forecasts. Who knows what to expect. Although the Blizzard warning for the Jersey Coastline means we should be wary, if the Center of low pressure wobbles westward at all it could mean a foot plus and high winds. GFS is really lowballing this storm, they could look foolish if things aren’t like they forecast.

You have two different models of forecasting things; the european model and the american model. That’s why.

There are many different forecasting models, those are just the two most cited. A general consensus is usually come across as the most likely forecast but for this storm there seems to be too much uncertainty among all the parties. My local forecast was just upped to 6-10 inches, and the city is much closer to the center of low pressure, so I expect it to be at least 8-12 in the city.

Even in its current run-down state it doesn’t look 70 years old. And how cool is it that SOM is still around to renovate their own building seven decades after completion.

MTA vows massive expansion of transit in NYC come 2030, largest transportation boost in decades

The year is 2030.

The long-awaited expansion of the Second Ave. subway into East Harlem is complete, filling in Manhattan’s largest transit desert.

Residents of Co-op City in the Bronx can get to Penn Station via a Metro-North train in 30 minutes.

And Gov. Hochul’s proposed Interborough Express hums along from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, to Jackson Heights, Queens, slashing travel times for tens of thousands.

That’s the vision Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials say will be a reality in eight years. It would mark the largest expansion of mass transit in New York City since the first half of the 20th century, improving commutes for tens of thousands of residents.

To get an idea from Busy Bee, I wonder if they’ll ever implement the IND Second System, now that would be massive.
