The storm and its profound effects have prompted the discussion of constructing [[seawall]]s and other [[coastal management|coastal barriers]] around the shorelines of New York City and Long Island to minimize the risk from another such future event.

Downstate New York (comprising New York City, Long Island, and lower portions of the Hudson Valley) have rather hot summers with some periods of high humidity and cold, damp winters which are relatively mild compared to temperatures in Upstate New York, due to the downstate region's lower elevation, proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, and relatively lower [[latitude]]. [[Upstate New York]] experiences warm summers, marred by only occasional, brief intervals of sultry conditions, with long and cold winters. Western New York, particularly the Tug Hill region, receives heavy [[lake-effect snow]]s, especially during the earlier portions of winter, before the surface of Lake Ontario itself is covered by ice. The summer climate is cool in the Adirondacks, Catskills, and at higher elevations of the Southern Tier.

In 2012, New York had 320 [[wineries]] and 37,000 grape bearing acres (15,000 ha), generating full-time employment for nearly 25,000 and annual wages over $1.1{{spaces}}billion, and yielding $4.8{{spaces}}billion in direct economic impact from New York grapes, grape juice, and wine and grape products.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newyorkwines.org/Pages/FactsAndFigures|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130603133429/http://www.newyorkwines.org/Pages/FactsAndFigures|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 3, 2013|title=Welcome to New York Wine Country!|publisher=New York Wine & Grape Foundation|access-date=July 20, 2015}}</ref> ===Agriculture=== The [[Agriculture in New York|New York agriculture]] industry is a major producer overall, ranking among the top five states for agricultural products including [[maple syrup]], apples, cherries, cabbage, [[New York dairy industry|dairy products]], onions, and potatoes. The state is the largest producer of cabbage in the U.S. The state has about a quarter of its land in farms and produced $3.4{{spaces}}billion in agricultural products in 2001. The south shore of Lake Ontario provides the right mix of soils and [[microclimate]] for many apple, cherry, plum, pear and peach orchards. Apples are also grown in the Hudson Valley and near Lake Champlain. A moderately sized saltwater commercial fishery is located along the Atlantic side of Long Island. The principal catches by value are clams, lobsters, squid, and [[flounder]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.osc.ny.gov/files/reports/special-topics/pdf/agriculture-report-2019.pdf|title=A Profile of Agriculture in New York State}}</ref> ===Energy=== {{Further|New York energy law|Solar power in New York|List of power stations in New York}} In 2017, the State of New York consumed 156,370 [[Kilowatt hour|gigawatthours]] (GWh) of electrical energy.
