  • Winter weather on the northeast US coast is a battle between cold, dry air blowing in from the northwest, and (relatively) warm, humid air from the Gulf Stream coming up from the Caribbean. The weather is determined by which of those two forces is “winning” at a given moment, and it can swing abruptly when the balance shifts.

    Expect cold, windy, rainy weather. But don’t be surprised to get snow and ice if those Canadians send a strong cold front.

    The comment comparing New York to Scotland is a good one. Dress like you are going to Aberdeen and you should be just fine in New York.






  • I assume part of it is to keep things competitive. Like how Formula 1 limits the tech that cars are allowed to use. If the richest team with the best equipment always wins, that really takes the fun out of it.

    Too much technology also can spoil the fun by being a distraction from the rest of the game. A few years ago there was a game where Jared Goff was receiving play calls through his helmet radio but his radio wasn’t working properly. He would just stand on the field looking stupid and helpless for 20-30 seconds before every play, trying to listen to instructions. It looked bad and was a lame experience for the fans.
