New Record

22.8" in Central Park, and still accumulating. Beats the Blizzard of '88 when my grandparents met.

I feel for ya.

We usually get the good lockdown eight feet of
snow now and then instead of you guys over where
the Yankees play.

This year its revered. c.c

Stay warm, stay safe!

Well, we seem to have gotten through it, and tomorrow is a holiday (for some) anyway.

Almost 2 feet!

Wow. 6 inches paralyzed us. In Germany
we could get a lot but they were geared
for it and not much stopped. Guess you
still have electricity as you posted.
Maybe on the heels of this you'll have
the warmer weather to melt it quickly.

Utilities lines are safely underground except in parts of the outer Boroughs. There was some electrical outage in South Jersey earlier on. Hope it's fixed now.

The Blizzard of '88! As in The Blizzard of '88 shown in little dioramas at The Museum of The City of New York? Sheesh.

Must be the same. Will have to look for the dioramas. All I know is that "Pop," whom I didn't know, wound up married to an Irish girl of the servant class, and his family would have nothing to do with them. Which is why I couldn't get my little girl into the DAR, which would have been a hoot given her Asian Indian ancestry.

There should be two or three of them on the first floor. I always loved that place, especially the huge diorama of old New Amsterdam.

I walked around in snowshoes back in the blizzard of 1978 which shut the city down for at least a day. I remember meeting folks on horse back riding down the middle of Fifth Avenue. Awesome! =)

And it is my contention that in a few centuries, just about all humans will look like East Indians or Central American Mestizos...and talk like Jeff Spicoli. lol

If it makes you feel any better (or any weirder), it is freezing in New Orleans, too. It's even a little nippy by the standards of a British immigrant.

This bodes well for a milder hurricane season, though, so I'm not complaining.

Not so bad. Timing was good, what with the three day weekend and all.
