What happens to New York Metro Weather if Twitter goes away?

/by

New York Metro Weather was once simply a blog. On blogspot. Yup, we’re that old.

Things changed for us in 2009 when we made one of our best decisions ever – we signed up for Twitter. In the 13 years that followed, we have been fortunate enough to build an incredible community together. We’ve tracked hundreds of storms – Hurricane Sandy, the remnants of Ida, several blizzards and many days of wildfire smoke. We’ve complained about the warmth, learned to love the dew point and have enjoyed lots of 10/10 days in between.

Our community on Twitter isn’t just about the weather. We have fun there, and we’ve made a specific effort to create an inclusive and respectful environment for everyone. To say that we’re grateful for every single person on Twitter who cares about us and supports us would be a huge understatement. We appreciate you all so much.

Recent news has brought forth many questions about whether or not we intend to stay on Twitter, and where you can find our content elsewhere. First things first – we aren’t going anywhere. We will continue to operate as usual on Twitter and hope that you’ll continue to join us there as well. However, if Twitter were to go down or disappear, life will go on – and so will New York Metro Weather.
