We're getting reports of a strange green or brown colored sky over Manhattan! Is this a strange weather phenomenon, or are we all doomed? After all, in a couple of hours it'll be 01:02:03 on 04/05/06 again! We'll be hiding in our bathtub with the lights out for the next couple of hours, just in case.
And if you have any pix of the weird sky, send them on in. This one was by PR002i's stream on Flickr.

It's snowing like crazy on Broadway and Walker.
Isn't this what happens before tornadoes?
Its about raining frogs on Broadway and 54th right now.
Snowing like mad in Times Square!
Snowing madly on the LES.
I hope Jake is getting his ass outside for some good spring snow pictures.
must be the end of the world!! alert the media!! OMG!!! ack!! die die die!!!
Still snowing like crazy (fast moving and huge flakes!) on Broadway and Walker...and the sky is still yellow!
"We're getting reports of a strange green or brown colored sky over Manhattan!"
Gee i wonder what that could be. It COULDNT be smog. NYC NEVER gets smog or pollution...
It's even snowing in Brooklyn!
This snow is *way* heavier than our "blizzard" a few weeks back.
Locusts, frogs, and graft in midtown...
Snowflakes the size of cotton balls are hovering outside my window.
Geez, this is what I get for working north of the city. It is overcast here but no green clouds.
the shit be thick. anyone else scared?
Snow falling faintly through the universe and New York City and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.
So, apocalypse now?
How can it be snowing when its nearly 50 degrees? HOW I ask!?
Where I'm from if you see a green sky that means theres a Tornado coming.
Thanks alot "IT COULD HAPPEN TOMORROW" on The Weather Channel.
People do say NYC is overdue for a hurricane. How about a snow-i-cane?
I'll be worried when I see this and smell maple syrup...
i'm on 23 and park. union square must be having the most massive pillow fight EVER.
Green sky and tornadoes. Heh. Two of my officemates and I are from Kansas City and that's the first thing we said when our workgroup's token East Coaster commented on how weird the color was.
Gothamist Weather Joe: Can you explain what causes this phenomenon?
Happy Severe Weather Awareness Week, everyone!
I'm tired of questions. I want answers!
Maple Syrup? *shrug*
Green Clouds? *shrug*
How can a city full of such brilliant and resourceful people come up with nothing but conspiracy theories???
Something fishy is going on here... I think someone is secretly repressing our answers.
The brown is from NYC. The Green tint to it is from New Jersey
wow, the flakes are huge on staten island... and it's snowing, too!
It's hailing pretty good down here in Philly - enough to sting. It might be coming your way.
Adam, the quick answer is that the green sky is caused by selective scattering of different colors of light against a gray background. The longer answer is "it's complicated".
We had snow-huge snowflakes- at about 7 pm last night, in Lockport. Not much stuck, though, except, of course, to the car windshields. And, of course, enough moisture got into the car doors, to make tugging on them necessary to get them open (I had to go in through the passenger side, finally, thats fun, climbing over a center console).
Green sky...hmmmm...here, it means, that bad BAD weather is coming, usually in the form of a severe thunderstorm, with downdrafts. WNY version of tornadoes...as usual, when something happens in WNY, its cockeyed. Instead of whirling around, the wind just slams downwards hard enough to flatten hay, corn, wheat, if not entire barns when they're really bad. Probably cost farmers the same amount of dollar damage.
But in Manhattan? I agree. Its probably something floating over from some chemical factory in Jersey, kept low in the sky because of the weather. Hack, gag, yack! But, its good for some conversation, right? Better than the usual, "So, you come here often? Whats your sign?" Now, you can go up to a perfect stranger, and say, "COme out here, and look at the sky! We're gonna die! So, before we go, sleep with me!"
It won'be be 1:23 4/5/06 in Europe until next month, as they reverse the month and date.... so, maybe the apolocalypse will begin in Belgium or something...
No more snow on Broadway and Walker. Sigh.
I'm in agreement with Dan on the European date. But I'm not really impressed with the 123456 thing. I rather go for 1:23:45 6/7/89. You don't have that stinky 0 in front of the 6.
Oscar: What do you want to drink?
Myrna: What do you have?
Oscar: Brown juice and green juice.
Myrna: What's the difference?
Oscar: Two weeks.
No Need to fear - There was a similar strange sky color I noticed last year http://www.flickr.com/photos/bosstweed/15808964/in/set-372262/
Forget hurricane warnings.
Bizzare weather + maple syrup smell = candycane?
I saw it snowing outside, and you know what was my first thought? "I bet the line at Shake Shack is short today." And it was. In fact, the line was non-existant. It should snow every day!
i'll wait for 01:02:03 4/5/67
There was also snow in northern Jersey from around 11 to 1. Then the sky was magically sunny with clouds afterwards. The End.
