Such is life in the trialor park...You have? Very sorry to hear, if so. Thankfully we rarely see large tornadoes like that here. The vast majority of our severe weather consists of microburst activity, straight line winds, and the occasional damaging hail event.

Phil Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Just saw a surprise snow shower move through in midtown Manhattan! It's cold AF outside...Yeah, January temps with equinox sun angles. So it feels nicer in the Sun, but in the shade it’s like a throwback to the depths of winter. Low of 19.8*F here this morning, and wind chills were around 0*F given the NW gusts to 34mph. High this afternoon was 30.6*F thanks to downsloping but we’re crashing back into the 20s again as insolation wanes as of 510pm.
