Snow York City
NYC Will See Snow All Day as Next Week Threatens More (Update1)
By Brian K. Sullivan


Jan. 7 (Bloomberg) -- A storm expected to dump about 5 inches of snow on New York City today may just be a preview for a system next week that has the potential for “significant snowfall,” according to the National Weather Service.

It would be the third storm in as many weeks for the New York area, still recovering from a post-Christmas blizzard that left 20 inches (51 centimeters) in Central Park.

“We have to keep an eye on that, but the potential is there for another significant snowfall through Tuesday and Wednesday,” said Brian Ciemnecki, a weather service meteorologist in Upton, New York. “The potential is there for 6 or more inches.”

Snow began falling shortly after daybreak in Manhattan, as winter storm warnings, watches and advisories stretch from eastern Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia, through New York City and most of Connecticut into Massachusetts and Vermont. The snowfall is expected to end in the city tonight. ........(more)

1. I once read a Science Fiction novel back in the 70's that started that way...
... and ended with a mile-high glacier grinding its way across Manhattan. I don't recall the name of it, though.

3. Bloomberg's been "making it snow" here for nine years.
If we can survive his "reign of error" ( But, gosh, the stats are all great!) ... we can survive a couple of mid winter snowstorms.

The mountains are getting snow but we haven't seen squat in the valley. A few inches at best. It's like 55 degrees today.

It snowed at least some every day for about a month. I'm from Michigan, but I've never seen so much snow as in Central NY.

17. About 20 miles north of Syracuse, 10 miles south of Lake Ontario
near the eastern tip, under 3' of snow. :-)

Well, actually the snow has settled to about 18". Plus, the roads are down to bare pavement.

15. We're supposed to get a big one on Tuesday
and if arid NM gets snowed on at all, you know the people downstream across the country will get clobbered.

18. I always am amused about the weather reports from the East Coast
Each one is over the top apocalyptic, all for weather events that are normal fare for those of us in the Midwest and Great Plains.

But somehow it is a catastrophe when the same weather hits the East Coast.
