Talk:Geography of Long Island

Hudson Barriers
A section should be included into the article about the plan to Flood-proof New York City with three barriers:
 * Flood-proofing New York City with storm barriers (June 1, 2009)
 * Saving NYC: $11 Billion Flood Barriers Approved (November 22, 2010) --Vic49 (talk)  23:30, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Basic questions
How big is Long Island? What are its dimensions? What is the square footage, or acreage or mileage of Long Island? Wouldn't these be basic questions that someone would expect to find in the geography section of Long Island? Aren't the physical dimensions and characteristics of an area the starting point of geography? Stevenmitchell (talk) 18:44, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

To add to article: a good map of Long Island, showing the major settlements (cities, towns, and villages). 76.189.141.37 (talk) 05:02, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Global warming
As soon as the new climate maps become available, it would be fascinating to see the temperature zones using the freezing mark and how they have changed from 2011 to 2021. With no end of global warming in sight, all of Long Island is likely to become Cfa in due time. Heff01 (talk) 00:25, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Using the Koeppen standard, the definition makes the difference, All of Long island is shown as Cfa in the Wikipedia climate map of New York because -3° C was used as the standard. I disagree with using -3 since it understates the areas of potential heavy snow and deep freezes. Heff01 (talk) 00:29, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Three degrees C is 5.4 degrees F, which is pretty significant. Heff01 (talk) 00:30, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

My prediction is for all of Long Island to be Cfa as soon as in the next decade. We are awaiting PRISM at Oregon State updating the numbers. Heff01 (talk)
