The piece talks with some artists who knew Franklin and his co-workers and covers the opening of an exhibition of his work at the New York City Transit Museum in December. In case......

A tipster sends over what they describe as "a really rad clip of downtown Manhattan totally flooded, under what looks like 25 feet of water." We think it's more scary than it is rad...scarier than a fictional monster attacking New York. The real fear of what could be our future is shown below in what's part of Six Degrees Could Change the World which "explores the potential impacts of global warming degree-by-degree—through six degrees over......

The misty drizzle of this morning has given way to a bit of sunshine early this afternoon. It may get a couple degrees warmer this afternoon, with the thermometer topping out around 75 if we're lucky. That's about six degrees warmer than normal. There may be a bit of fog again tonight. The fog won't stop tomorrow from heating up, however. The jet stream is switching from a mostly west-to-east flow pattern to a......

There are a lot of obscure weather and climate statistics and records. Two of Gothamist's favorites are the record low high temperature and the record high low temperature. Yesterday we had one of the former. The combination of being in a cold air mass and under heavy cloud cover also tied 1911 (WCBS didn't give the exact date) as having the lowest high temperature of any day in August. More fun facts! The high was......

The previous installment featured Sandra Bernhard, mini Michael Jackson, and a Chihuahua. But, no matter what's on the show, the focus is always on Hill, a master showman. How does it feel to be the number one Google result for Dave Hill?......

Wednesday: ten degrees above average. Thursday: six degrees below average. Fall weather has arrived. This morning's low temperature almost got down to the freezing mark. It should be below freezing tonight. The growing season is officially over. It will remain chilly tomorrow before warming up slightly on Sunday. Autumn weather, however, may be short-lived. No, it's not going to get warmer. Winter may say hello next week. Early indications are that a nor'easter may develop......

Early showers, clearing up pretty quickly for a sunny day. High of 74. Gothamist's mom is back in sweaty Louisiana now, but more house guests have arrived. (Hey, the futon was already unfolded. Why not?) These guys came down from Burlington last night and immediately began oohing and aahing about the NYC weather. "It's been in the 50s at home!" they said, in a way only incredulous Southerners can. Gothamist did a little bit of......
