Readers who don’t live in an area impacted by snowstorm “Nemo” may not be as interested in the overwhelming coverage of the event as those who live out east, but now they can experience it too — and without all the cold weather and inconvenience.
The Wall Street Journal set up a camera from its offices in Manhattan, looking north toward Radio City Music Hall, and simply let it run throughout the storm.
Condensed to a mere 60 seconds, readers can watch both the constant bustle of the city and the rapid changes from snow to sleet to relative calm, all from the comfort of their own homes.

Feb. 11, 2013 at 1:38pmI find it shocking indeed that persons in the Northern Hemisphere would be forced to endure ‘snow’ in the winter. Add to that the indignity of having to shovel and adjust travel and entertainment plans accordingly. Perhaps some emasculated Governor will declare a State of Emergency, so that the Government can swoop in to save the day!

Feb. 11, 2013 at 9:46amThis entire weekend we underwent a snow storm labeled as a blizzard in the north central plains. Sixteen inches of snow, winds in excess of fifty miles per hour, power outages, roads impassable, five foot high (plus) snow drifts. So when do the reporters get here? Where’s all the news media? Not seeing anything about it on morning TV programs. Where’s The Weather Channel? Where’s the little black-guy that used to be fat and poops in his pants? WHERE IS EVERYONE? We have had a major weather event and no one notices? Oh well the truth is it isn’t that major, it happens here all of the time. We just don’t whine about it.

Feb. 10, 2013 at 6:13pmI know right? I used to live just outside Buffalo and can tell you a foot of snow wouldn’t even slow us down. Let alone shut down roads and buses. We would be ready to go downtown for a Sabres game and get back home without any problems. Now 4 feet of wet, heavy snow is a different matter. That slows things down in and around Buffalo, but never stops anything.

Feb. 10, 2013 at 12:38amValiant, cute post! Record snowfalls, among the right wing, contradict global warming and climate change. Al Gore is shoveling snow! So much for HIS theory. Yuck, yuck.
I realize that knowledge of science isn’t among your strengths, but that’s why I’m here: to help you where the educational system has failed. Do you know how often it snows in the coldest parts of the world, the Arctic and the Antarctic? Answer: never. Do you know how many clouds there are in those places? Answer: none. It’s too cold. Those places are classified as deserts. They are the driest areas on Earth – all the moisture is frozen out of the air.
You need to understand a few scientific facts. The warmer air is the more more water vapor it can hold. The oceans are absorbing most of the heat from global warming, and the warmer the oceans, the more evaporation and the more water vapor in the atmosphere. The ideal conditions for blizzards are temperature just a little below freezing – cold enough to create snow but warm enough to hold the maximum amount of moisture. That’s what happened with Nemo. An atmosphere not far below freezing, and lots of moisture coming off the ocean.
The idea that colder air creates more snow is exactly wrong. For reference, Google snowfall in the Arctic.
This is an issue that demands a little more knowledge of science than you have I realize. Cute post though.

Have you ever watched ice melt? The smaller it gets the more rapidly it melts. That is to say the rate of melting increases as the ratio of surface space to density decreases. It should come as no surprise then that as time goes by the poles will melt faster. If they didn’t that would mean we have shifted and are headed back towards another ice age. You are aware, I would hope, that the arctic used to cover the northern hemisphere as far south as southern Indiana.Every so often it has increased minimally, however since our last ice age it has been in a constant state of regression. And, using the physics you can see by simply placing an ice cube on your kitchen table, over time it will melt faster and faster as it continues to shrink.
Also, before the last ice age there was a time where temperatures in southern Indiana averaged between 85 degrees and 95 degrees…YEAR ROUND…with ZERO snowfall. There are times in history where human life would have been impossible along the equator because it was simply too hot, over 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
Fact: There Earth naturally gets really freaking hot and really freaking cold all on it’s own. This cycle repeated OVER and OVER before man kind was even a single cell organism and will continue.
Your leaders advocating your smart meters are no different than village chiefs throwing virgins into a volcano, it’s a sacrifice that won’t make one iota of a difference.

Feb. 10, 2013 at 2:06amSENDTHEMEATEEYORES, Sort of missed the location of the story didn’t you? Screw what you have said about the Arctic and Antarctic areas since the story is about snow fall in NY and New England areas. Ever been there? I have lived there in Upstate, NY. Damn, snow falls and it is usually a lot nastier than what these people are complaining about and we went about our merry way regardless. But, naturally you are one of the global whining crowd, right? Hundred year records make you piss your pants, while it makes the rest of us ask, just what happened a hundred years ago since there were no SUVs and nuke power plants back then. Wow, do us a favor and do some real research of real history sometime, rather than the modified sh/t you usually bring here. You know, something other other that Wiki, your usual fall back resource.

How can you say that it doesn’t snow in the arctic or antarctic (just to pick one erroneous point out of several)? Where do you think the icebergs come from? How to the great chunks of ice that are calved off every year formed?
It SNOWS. Part of Antarctica is New Zealand territory and we are taught a few of the basics when we are children.
True, around the area of the pole it snows less than further out, but it still snows. The blizzards can be so severe that people are cooped up in the base for days – sometimes longer.
Can you not even manage the basics of an internet search?
It is becoming obvious that trolls are the people that they are because they aren’t bright enough to do much else…

NYC should be able to handle a little dusting. All this lack of sugar is going to mayors head, of course global warming, and polar bears eating cubs caused all the turmoil.

I spent all day digging out and tomorrow I need to shovel my roof because rain is coming and if the 4-5 ft of snow on my roof gets wet, my whole house will collapse. I’m still young enough to do this I fear for the elderly. Keep us all in your paryers.

OK, I see what you mean. I think it’s Human error. When they move a story from the upper right section and place it on the main page they either get distracted and forget or it doesn’t get linked correctly.
Now for the good news. On the main page click on “Stories” in the upper left hand side. It will take you here http://www.theblaze.com/stories/ where the stories are in order of dates with a button on the bottom for even older stories. I use this a lot to view stories in the order they were posted.
Hope this helps… that story was posted at 5:29pm and is still there.
