Damn - I didn't know New York City was in the tropics.

Who 'da thunk it?

It has to do with where the storm originated, skipper. :-)

You guys just need more imaginative nomenclature. Out this way we get
winter storms that blow in from Hawaii. We call the phenomenon "The
Pineapple Express". They are tropical windstorms because they
originate in the tropics.
