SHOVEL YOUR **##** SNOW

Submitted by ub on

We have a revolutionary suggestion, which some may not have thought of and according to our live shot above, others have yet to take care of their civic and legal responsibilities.

If there is any snow on the sidewalk in front of your residence, place of business? Then what are you waiting for....Shovel the darn thing, you lazy ass.

Hardworking doctors, bankers and many other law abiding citizens, as well as countless numbers of public servants may not have been able to get to work on time today because you are cheap, lazy or just don't shive a git.

STRONG WINDS AND VERY COLD WIND CHILLS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON...

Hazardous Travel Conditions are now in effect until this afternoon. Winds of up to 40 mph will keep snow blowing and drifting, but temperatures will br in the teens, and tonight to a bone-chilling single digits in the city and zero in suburbs. Wind chills will make it feel much colder. Our camera lens shows frost.

Everyone should stay off the roads. If absolutely necessary, drive slowly, monitor weather and traffic, use major streets or highways, and keep the name and number of at least one local towing service.

NY Governor Andrew M. Cuomo will activate the State Emergency Operations Center (EOC) tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. to monitor a potent winter storm that will impact New York State Thursday and Friday. This storm will likely produce moderate to heavy snowfall across a large portion of the state, and may also result in coastal flooding and beach erosion. This system will also add to the bitter cold already being experienced statewide. There is a windchill watch for the southern and western Adirondacks with values from -30 to -40 degrees on Thursday and Friday.

Bill de Blasio’s Inauguration Speech

And just like before, the world will watch as we succeed. All along the way, we will remember what makes New York, New York.

A city that fights injustice and inequality — not just because it honors our values, but because it strengthens our people. A city of five boroughs — all created equal. Black, white, Latino, Asian, gay, straight, old, young, rich, middle class, and poor. A city that remembers our responsibility to each other — our common cause — is to leave no New Yorker behind.

Today is The Bronx 100th anniversary... Happy New Year, and Happy 100th Birthday. Back In 1914, The Bronx became a NY county, being officially separating from New York County.

The Bronx gained its legal identity when it became a borough of Greater New York in 1898. Bronx County, with the same boundaries as the borough, was separated from New York County after that time, coextensive with the Borough of Manhattan officially on January 1, 1914.

Submitted by ub on

Following a rigorous 10-month selection process involving 25 proposals from 24 states, the Federal Aviation Administration has chosen six unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) research and test site operators across the country.

In selecting the six test site operators, the FAA considered geography, climate, location of ground infrastructure, research needs, airspace use, safety, aviation experience and risk. In totality, these six test applications achieve cross-country geographic and climatic diversity and help the FAA meet its UAS research needs.
