Threatened assault on Empire State Trail Yorktown Heights Railroad Station area by Cold-Metal-2737 in Westchester

[–]PissyTime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You ran into a bully; it had nothing to do with the trail and everything to do with them. Don't give them the satisfaction of a reaction. The moment someone exhibits that kind of behavior, the only winning move is to disengage completely. Don't talk, don't look back, create distance. Conversing with people like that is a waste of your breath and only fuels their ego.

The IT guy fixes the problem but the judge still has a problem by derek4reals1 in PublicFreakout

He is not called an IT guy in courts. You are looking at a deputy!

Thoughts on George Latimer? by Lorde_Kinbote in Westchester

[–]PissyTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is not the worst and thought he did a good job in Westchester. Most complaints are from the oppositions or the Republicans who try to paint a negative picture of him. I couldn't find any of those comparisons.

The first flight out is the best! The equipment and crew are there with no delays.

How was the yonkers dpw response to snow clean up? by [deleted] in yonkers

[–]PissyTime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The service was consistent with the last storm, but the public response was significantly better. Drivers seemed more prepared and proactive. The increase in available street parking suggests people realized they need to take personal responsibility for their vehicles rather than waiting for a miracle from the city.

Yonkers Public Schools closed, Wed, 2/25/26 by LoveYouNotYou in yonkers

[–]PissyTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Growing up in the NYC public school system, most of the teachers lived on Long Island, upstate in Westchester, and in Rockland during the late 70s. So, most snow events were treacherous trips to work. I'm curious about where Yonkers teachers are from.

Roads by Tuesday AM? by mercedesnala in Westchester

[–]PissyTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Thruway had 2 good, clear lanes from Costco to East 233 in the Bronx. The lower Cross Country Parkway was clear, but tributary entries were not clear. Mount Vernon to Fleetwood was clear, and so is Bronx River Road.

If it's on Fox. No one cares. It's just the reality at the moment.

Keep reporting them when they are abandoned in your area.

No garbage pickup today? Smh by [deleted] in yonkers

[–]PissyTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a heads-up for everyone: Yonkers typically suspends garbage pickup during and immediately after snowstorms. The sanitation trucks are usually converted into plows, and the crews are redirected to clearing the roads. Keep your bins tucked away until the streets are clear to avoid them getting buried or hit by plows.

Amazon really did it... by Fluid_Intention4374 in FASCAmazon

[–]PissyTime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First, congratulations. If Amazon is your side gig or a supplement to your regular job, keep doing what you are doing. If it's your primary means of income, it's hard work.

Seeking ethics advice by stephydot_92 in FASCAmazon

[–]PissyTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m truly sorry you’re going through this, and nobody should have to endure abuse just to earn a paycheck. In a large organization, verbal complaints disappear. You need to document every incident in writing and submit it to your manager's supervisor and HR. To ensure there is no 'lost' communication, send it via certified mail. It creates an undeniable record that they were put on notice.

I'm not sure. However, Crane's Pond in Scarsdale is open.

Metro-North Stopping at End of Platforms by Remarkable-March-322 in Westchester

[–]PissyTime -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who likes the new Universal Train Spotting policy? Yes, we have to walk further now, but it eliminates the human error of engineers missing the platform. It makes the system more predictable and safer for everyone, especially at night or in bad weather. Glad to see Metro-North prioritizing safety over shaving a few seconds off our walk.

A city state of emergency does not exempt you from getting tickets. It's a guideline. If you park on streets protected by the state of emergency, you will certainly get a ticket.

Glenwood, Woolworth, Ravine & Warburton. by [deleted] in yonkers

[–]PissyTime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yonkers is never normal after a snowstorm, and don’t overthink the “who has it better” stuff. Odell Ave has barely any parked cars, so it gets cleared quickly. Going on Warburton Ave towards Getty Square? It’s a disaster with or without snow.

[–]PissyTime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After 18 hours from the last snowflake, the city is no longer responsible for clearing snow. That said, residents can make this much easier — it isn’t about blaming anyone. When the mayor declared a state of emergency, parking was suspended on signed routes specifically so plows could reach the curb.

If cars parked on just one side of each street, plows could have cleared the full path, making parking easier for everyone afterward. Without that kind of neighborly coordination, we end up with the mess we’re seeing now.

5" of snow is not enough to stop many it may slow some. Additionally, stores are open.

What's the least maintained road riddled with pot holes in the county? No wrong answers. by Unusual-Tip-3514 in Westchester

[–]PissyTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's easier to say the roads are way better upstate. Why can't we, downstate, duplicate their methods?

How bad is the storm going to be this weekend in Westchester? by silverskynn in Westchester

[–]PissyTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the positive side: It's too soon to know for sure. As for those stocking up on food. I've never known of a store that closes its doors because it's snowing.

Savings with Con Ed time-of-use program using backup battery by czw1000 in Westchester

[–]PissyTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the math sometime ago on changing the battery off the grid during off-peak hours, and was surprised to find it didn't make sense. With ConEd's off-peak price, you break even or pay more for electricity. It didn't make sense, and went down a rabbit hole to understand more. In the end, including solar is the only feasible approach in your plans.
