5️⃣ Protects infrastructure. Storm drains, hydrants, sidewalks, and guardrails all work better when they’re not buried or crushed under tons of compacted snow.

Pushing snowbanks back isn’t just about making things look neat …it’s one of those behind-the-scenes moves that really matters after a storm.

[Meteorologist Brian Fitzgerald @FitzyWeatherTV]

4️⃣ Keeps roads from turning into ice rinks. Snow piled too close to the pavement melts during the day and refreezes at night. Pulling banks back limits that daily melt-freeze cycle.

[Meteorologist Brian Fitzgerald @FitzyWeatherTV]

3️⃣ Reduces flooding when things warm up. When temperatures rise or rain falls, massive snowbanks melt fast. If they’re right up against roads and drains, you’re more likely to see ponding, icy refreezes overnight, or even basement flooding.

[Meteorologist Brian Fitzgerald @FitzyWeatherTV]

2️⃣ Improves visibility and safety
High snowbanks block sightlines at intersections, driveways, and crosswalks. Pushing them back helps drivers, pedestrians, and school buses actually see each other.

[Meteorologist Brian Fitzgerald @FitzyWeatherTV]

1️⃣ Makes room for the next storm
If snowbanks stay piled high, the next snowfall has nowhere to go. That’s when roads get narrower, sidewalks disappear, and plows struggle to keep up.

As someone who drives the Taconic State Parkway daily, I’ll be the first to say aggressive drivers are the worst.

But a close second? What I call passive-aggressive drivers.

These are the drivers who technically follow the rules… while somehow making everything worse. Examples

Whoa - check out the signal for well above average temperatures in early April 🌡️

A potent Pacific jet may blow unusually hot air masses into the country.

It could be an early taste of summer.

@WeatherGeoff Agreed! That and tracking the angle of Polaris to find your latitude. 🤙

So what exactly happened? Why did we feel an earthquake so far from a plate boundary?

The most likely culprit

Earthquake just recorded in New Jersey. 4.8 magnitude. Felt it pretty significantly at my house in Dutchess County New York. It knocked the wreath off the door and the chandelier was swinging.
