    AP: British Can't Handle a Little Snow

    Hitler bombed London for two months straight and the Brits stiff-upper-lipped themselves back to work, but a foot of snow has destroyed the morale of those once-proud people. More »

    Happy June Heat Wave!

    Guess what? It's brown-out season! Power outages are expected across the Upper East Side tonight. DisasterReadyNYC—the scariest site on the Internet?—recommends filling your bathtub with water. Ha ha ha that won't protect you from the looters and Cloverfield monsters! NOTHING CAN. An Upper East Side hospital sent the following warning to its staff today, in case you need to hear it from Con Ed themselves: More »

    Deadly Spring's First Victims Make Fox Anchor Positively Giddy

    Fox News morning anchoress Gretchen Carlson is so thrilled about the arrival of Spring that she can't stop smiling, even when delivering the news of 13 deaths from severe weather. "Guess what—it's the first day of Spring! Whoo-hoo!" she exclaims over an aerial shot of a flooded house. She almost regains her composure: "But it's not so great for some people in the country." Amazing clip, after the jump. More »

    Snow!

    It's snowing! We are vaguely aware that this is an inconvenience to people who need to go to the airport and such, but we don't care, we love it. Winter days without snow feel a hundred times more miserable. Celebrate New York's proverbial white blanket before it all turns into a mess of disgusting slush with this atmospheric clip of the gentleness that falls from the heavens. Suggested listening material: "Taking Tiger Mountain" by Brian Eno, Vince Guaraldi's "Skating" song from A Charlie Brown Christmas, Sinatra's "Sleep Warm" if you are feeling emo, or that easy-listening classic "Steal Softly Thru Snow" by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band.

    'Times' Building Shock: It's Cold!

    The gorgeous new New York Times building is not just a rat-infested danger to pedestrians—it's also freezing cold! Exec editor Bill Keller emailed the troops earlier on this freezing, snowy Tuesday: "We raised this with the building services people Sunday when the temperature dropped, and they are on the case. Basically, cold air is leaking into the podium side of the building through the open loading dock and elevator shafts." UPDATE: We hear... that Page Six and the New York Post library were also freezing cold yesterday, with the temperature eventually measured at 39 degrees. Which is a real problem, considering how many staffers there are cold-blooded reptiles (zing!). Please send in any and all additional tales of newsroom frostbite. [Radar]

    Killer Tornadoes Attack Only Clinton Country

    Gawker video guru Richard Blakeley MASHED-UP two of the New York Times' interactive newsmaps: one showing the deadly path of Tuesday's tornadoes, the other showing which Democratic candidates won which states on Super Tuesday. The results: does God hate Hillary? (And note: Obama won Alabama, but Hillary won each county in that state with a recorded death from Tuesday's storms.) Click to enlarge map. [NYT, NYT]

    I'm trying a new management technique this morning! Instead of just writing posts myself every morning, I'm waiting for the staff to file their own items. Crazy, right? Well, it's 9:45 a.m. now. We'll see how this goes! P.S. The weather outside is fairly mild, though NY1 says it's 366 um, just 36F, if you haven't been outside yet. And you have only 13 shopping days until Christmas I think!

    You No Longer Need Rely On The Trick Knees Of Old Men To Figure Out The Weather

    Tired of know-it-all meteorologists telling you what the weather might be like today? Sick of their uppity "scientific forecasts" and "Doppler maps"? Why not let the internet predict the weather! Thanks to a new World Wide Web site called "Cumul.us" (see what they did there?), now you can! The wisdom of crowds will tell you if you need a jacket! Or "the wisdom of clouds"!

    Apparently Bay Ridge is the new Ninth Ward! "Two months after a tornado ripped through southwestern Brooklyn, a sign with 'Vacate' in red letters still hung from the front door last week, keeping Ashraf Eshra and his family from moving back in.... 'The mayor's office came, FEMA came, and nothing happened,' Mr. Eshra said. 'FEMA said we can do nothing until you get settlement from insurance.'" [NYT]

    Which New York Newspaper Has The Most Accurate Weather Forecasts?

    Each morning we wake up, open the front door, grab the newspaper, look at the forecast for the day's high temperature, and dress based on that forecast. (Occasionally we also shower.) And every day, around noon, we find ourselves complaining that we're too hot because the paper was completely wrong. So we asked Intern Mary to track the weekday results of the city's three major papers and the New York Sun against the actual high temperatures over a two-week period. She also looked at the online predictions, for those of you who get your news that way. Her findings may surprise you! More »

    How To Prepare For The Coming Hurricane

    You've probably heard about the hurricane that may be wending its way toward our city. CBS News reports that the storm—now in its infancy over the Atlantic—may very well turn into a category 1 hurricane before it lashes our shore over the weekend. While experts are still unsure as to whether the storm will maintain its position long enough to gather the necessary wind, we're of the opinion that it's better to be prepared for the worst. We don't want you to panic, obviously, but this is how things will play out. More »
