things to do nyc manhattan brooklyn queens bronx staten island nyc eventsThe photo above or at right was taken aboard one of the many trains making their way underneath NYC sidewalks and streets. It's really the most efficient way to travel within the city, assuming your departing and destination points are within easy walking distance of a subway stop.

This week the Donald attempted to take presidential power down to a municipal level, by signing an Executive Order rescinding Governor Hochul's signing of the Congestion Pricing plan for Midtown Manhattan, which began at the beginning of January. I'm no fan of the congestion pricing plan, because it's impact on climate change is minimal [disperses traffic not stops it], and its impact will decline as vehicles go electric. In the short term it actually adds a burden to public transit, as presumably drivers will ditch their cars around the outer perimeter of the congestion pricing zone. And it fails miserably to address what is really needed - and that is the expansion of the subway system throughout the outer boroughs and beyond.

So I agree with the Donald that Congestion Pricing really shouldn't be law, but I disagree with the process in which he's handling this [as well as his approach to issuing Executive Orders instead of legislating on a whole host of other things]. We live in a democracy, which means you don't get to do things unilaterally. Democracy is an ongoing, inclusive conversation. You have to convince people that such and such is the right direction, then get that direction detailed and articulated into a legislative bill, and then get enough votes to pass it. Dictators do things by fiat and Executive Orders, while Presidents of real democracies do things by convincing enough people to support something.

things to do nyc manhattan brooklyn queens bronx staten island nyc eventsThe photo above or at right was taken during the snowfall last Saturday afternoon and evening. Thankfully, after a very long dry spell, we received some precipitation, but it was far from enough to bring water levels back to normal. This weekend warmer temperatures return, and I suspect our 'two weeks of winter' is over.

November 2024 was the driest NYC November on record, January 2025 was the second driest NYC January on record; and January through December 2024 was the warmest on record in the U.S. as a whole.

Drought conditions are already impacting the planetary food supply in a number of places. This situation will only get worse, the only question is how quickly. I would argue far more quickly than anyone is currently contemplating. As an example, in recent years drought has negatively impacted California food production. California produces 4x more than the next nearest state in the Union [Illinois is #2]. We humans need to wake up and accelerate our transition to clean energy or only a few of us will survive to tell the tale.

things to do nyc manhattan brooklyn queens bronx staten island nyc eventsNYC Weather. Sunrise 6.32 am. Sunset 5.45 pm. We're getting two more hours [less 2 minutes] of sunlight than we were the weekend of the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2024, which is the shortest day of the year. Spring Forward Daylight Savings Time begins next week on Sunday, March 9th, 2025 at 2 am.

The temperature highs will be in the low 50's on Friday, rising to 60 on Saturday, before falling back into the high 30's on Sunday. The temperature lows will be in the low 40's Friday, falling into the low 20's on Saturday and Sunday.

Looking at the weather forecast for the next couple of weeks, I now believe that Winter is essentially over after the two cold nights this weekend. We didn't have had more than a few weeks of Winter this year.

The humidity will be fairly low all weekend ranging from 30% to 60% on Friday and Saturday, falling to 20% to 40% on Sunday. It's going to be a windy weekend, as winds will range from 10 - 20 mph Friday, stay at the high end of 20 mph on Saturday, before falling back to 10 - 15 mph on Sunday.

The photo at right was taken at the St. Pat's For All Parade in Sunnyside, Queens in 2019, the year before the pandemic hit. The parade returns this Sunday. Scroll down for details.

The parade congregates between 11.30 am / 12.30 pm [after a church service at Blessed Sacrament in West Brighton] and lasts between one to two hours, but the celebrating continues after the parade. This year - 2025 - members of the LGBTQ community have been invited for the first time to participate and march in the parade and they have accepted, so it's likely to be one of the biggest St Pat's Parades on Staten Island, ever. The Staten Island Parade is the last St. Pat's Parades within NYC to welcome LGBTQ marchers. The parade is organized by the Richmond County St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee and not the Ancient Order of Hiberians.
