A blockbuster snowstorm is expected to transform New York City into a winter wonderland on Wednesday — with as much as 30 inches expected in some areas, according to forecasts.
The Big Apple could get blanketed in as much as a foot of snow as the storm sweeps through the East Coast between Tuesday and Thursday.

That is a lot
Has NYC cut the sanitation budget too?
Yesterday, in the Boston area, it was 62 degrees.
Ya the ground just has to be below or near freezing. It melts the snow quickly
It snowed in Hialeah once, January 19, 1977😁
And very yellow.
Not just from cats and dogs.
Perhaps now but it’s too bad you couldn’t have experienced it back in the 50’s and 60’s. If what the extra-terrestrial experts tell us, that we are probably the only intelligent life in the cosmos, then New York City truly was the Center of the Universe. It was certainly the banking, fine dining, publishing, artistic, entertainment and educational capitol of earth. Sports, movies, live theater, museums...there wasn’t a city in the world which could surpass it in all fields as the Big Apple did. Investing talent, retail giants, and perhaps the best part were the deli’s and bookstores along with the certainty that no matter which hole-in-the-wall pizza joint you’d stop in for lunch, you’d be getting a superior slice than anywhere else in the country. I think it was John Lindsay’s election in ‘64 that marked the beginning of the decline but even when I went to college in Brooklyn Heights from 1968 to 1972, it was still the most fascinating urban wonderland imaginable.
One of my fondest memories of a New York snowfall is slowly walking up the cobble-stoned sidewalk on the eastern side of Central Park, headed up to my then favorite place in the city, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was the morning, I had the day off and that meant I could spend the entire day visiting all of my “friends” hanging on the walls of its galleries. The snow gently falling as I made my way north seemed to quiet and beautify the normal hustle of the last part of the morning’s rush hour. I can still recall feeling privileged to be at that spot, in that time, and thinking that, at least for me, there just couldn’t be a better example of the best that civilization could have produced. But - all good things must come to an end...
“... I went to college in Brooklyn Heights from 1968 to 1972, it was still the most fascinating urban wonderland imaginable.”
I have no doubt that it was once an amazing place. It seems that NYC is simply a representation of our country as a whole. Once vibrant, resourceful, independent and adaptive. Now it is bitter, divided, ignorant, and declining.
But that sounds racist!
“But that sounds racist!”
I am white, therefore, everything I think, say or do is racist.
We have about 3 feet of a *nothingburger* sitting all over our property.
And it’s still coming down.
