New Record

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

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
