You know it’s March….
When the weather forecast for the next 3 days looks like this: We’ll go from 70 yesterday to potentially our biggest snowstorm of the whole winter tomorrow, with 4-8 inches possible. As a weather guy, it’s amazing…warmth, thunderstorms, then snow, the perfect 24 hours. Enjoy winters last stand.
Dear Jetblue,
I really want this to work…I really do. I love cheap fares, I love your plush leather seats, I love your fairly quick check in process, and I really LOVE your DirectTV in every seat, but you’re making this really hard. First you completely cancelled my trip to Columbus a few weeks ago after your […]
More Jetblue thoughts…
(the filled JFK terminal yesterday) So I thought instead of just complaining about all the things that went wrong the last few days for Jetblue, I thought I could maybe offer some solutions from my perspective. Now I can’t even imagine the complexity of their situation, and I know they are doing the best they […]
Disaster at JFK
(4 of Jetblue’s 6 baggage carousels were like this at JFK today…a baggage wasteland) I had a fun full day at JFK airport today courtesy of Jetblue and the winter storm from yesterday. In the past I’ve been a Jetblue champion, often bragging about it to people as the best airline to fly. It has […]
A little excited…
Almost exactly a year ago today, I wrote this post: White with Envy I expressed my jealous and excitement for the monster snowstorm hitting NYC at that time (while I was in Columbus). Well I’m trying to stay calm while watching the development of a potential monster snowstorm this upcoming week for the east coast, […]
New York observations
So I’ve been in this crazy city for about 4 months now and there are a few things I’ve noticed that I find interesting (you may not). (via flickr user ChrisFLinton) Language differences: here you’re not IN line, you’re ON line. You don’t take something to go, but instead it’s “to take away.” non dressy […]
tunnel vision
Something I’ve talked with my friend Lee about extensively is the somewhat dangerous tunnel vision that goes on around here in the web/tech world. People seem to dismiss “old school,” companies as the has-beens of the economy. I swear I hear more about Digg supposedly being worth $60M, Facebook being worth well over $1B, or […]
A monster Snow Storm coming?
(we had our first snow yesterday, this is Washington Sq. Park with some snow above) Just found this posting on the accuweather blog that basically says the new weather pattern bringing cold to really the whole US, along with an active southern jet (which typically controls the moisture flow) and above normal sea surface temperatures […]
First snow!
This morning I spotted my first snowflake of the year while walking through Washington Sq. Park. Others spotted it, and recorded it. The National Weather Service recorded the snow officially at 9:55am in Central Park, making this the latest occurrence of the first winter snowfall in the park since records began more than 100 years […]
Hmmm
I’m starting to think that everything I’ve heard about the painful New York City winters was a lie. This weather is amazing: Where were all these 66 degree January days when I was freezing my butt off walking to class on the incredibly windy, artic OSU campus in January a few years ago? Oh well, […]
