Global warming is kicking our butts in nyc.
How much snow was there? I saw no mention in the article.

I got about 18” on top of the almost 30” still there from the previous storms.
Oh, and there’s a layer of ice in there as well.
Most snow accumulation on the ground that I’ve ever seen & I’ve lived in Connecticut all my life. (And, I was in college during the blizzard of ‘78, so I’ve been here awhile)
Was really worried about my roof, but son #2 shoveled it for me Tuesday & hubby found a sot that still had roof rakes!
Oh no, washington is without power~ whatever will we do without them!
It is a good time to be almost 100 percent work-at-home.

Just a cold winter. No big deal.
