    The Rain Explains Why Fewer People Are Slain

    The New York Times conducts its own analysis and concludes that, in New York City at least, more rainy days means fewer homicides. However, given the ongoing depressing Year Without a Summer around these parts, there's no discussion of suicides. More »

    The Year (Still) Without a Summer

    Global Warming Increases Intensity Of Hurricane Coverage

    Why do we anthropomorphize the weather? The standard convention of naming large tropical storms began as way to simply keep track of multiple simultaneous events, but it also has the unusual side effect of allowing people to believe that the storm is literally out to get them. Hurricane Ike is currently "ravaging" South Texas with his "ferocious" winds and "roaring" floodwaters and will soon spread his "wrath" across the whole Gulf Coast. This time it's personal! More »

    God Smites Dirty Hippie For Reading 1984, Fox Reporter Believes

    The blow-dried, plastic smile-bearing Fox 5 reporter asks Jared Crystal what happened. Jared, the very cultural opposite of the reporter in his ponytail and "Republicans For Voldemort" T-shirt, explains that he was simply sitting in his car, reading 1984—an ordinary night—when a tree limb came crashing down! A scary situation! The reporter grimaces at the disheveled man with the disastrous car. "Reading 1984, and look what it got you!" the reporter says. "Next time read something more easy and calm!" Jared graciously blames Arbor Day, rather than punching the reporter in the face. Click to watch the underlying tension of the media's culture war in action.

    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."

    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]

    A January Without Snow

    This month will be the first January in 75 years without measurable snow in New York, according to the National Weather Service. Meteorologists say one can't jump to conclusions based on one season's data, but snowfall in New York City has declined in the last one hundred years, as global temperatures have increased. (Upstate, near the Great Lakes, seems to be an exception.) After the jump, a gallery, a photographic reminder of the snowbound city. Piles of slush are so much more romantic in faded black and white.

    Gale-force winds bear down on Googler's wedding

    In the neutral parlance of stormtrackers, the pattern of rain and winds now hitting the British Virgin Islands is just a "tropical disturbance." But I have to think Google cofounder Larry Page, who married Lucy Southworth yesterday on Richard Branson's Necker Island, is more than disturbed by it. Gale-force winds and heavy rains will make it difficult if not impossible to shuttle from island to island, and conditions may be unsafe for helicopters and small private jets to take off. Hundreds of celebrity guests and top Google executives may well be stranded. More »

    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 »

    We Need Another 8/8

    Yesterday, Philadelphia Daily News columnist Stu Bykofsky wrote an absolutely atrocious column that suggested the country needed another terrorist attack like 9/11 to better unite those of us who survived it. But is Bykofsky missing the point? Of course he is. There's a greater threat that those of us who live here in New York are faced with. It's a threat that we've become apathetic and complacent about. Now we must say: "No More. Here We Stand." More »

    That Really Was A Tornado In Brooklyn

    Dear Brooklyn: Like a sugared-up 11-year-old, you're always claiming things. Sometimes it's "That dirty Pole touched me in a bad place." Sometimes it's "We invented electroclash and it's good!" A lot of the time your outrageous claims have to do with babies and how great life is and the joys of microbrewing beer. You know: Lies. Over the years we've started to ignore you—which meant when you came to us yodeling about a tornado yesterday, we smiled, nodded and backed away. I guess it's just hard for all of us to tell your "personal" truth, the James Frey kind of truth, from the actual truth sometimes. Maybe you should go back to your "great apartment" and think about that? More »
