It snowed in New York yesterday. The forecast called for up to 12 inches on Saturday, depending on your weather source, and at 8 PM the snow still wasn't sticking yet. By midnight the cars were blanketed in scattered white and the sidewalks had a little sprinkling, like in those old Magic Carpet commercials. By 7 AM Sunday morning, small children were Iost in the fortresses of snow surrounding every house.The city broke a new record: 26.9 inches of snow in Central Park. The previous record of 26.4 inches occurred back in 1947, before there was a weather.com. (Imagine how surprised the New Yorkers back then were!) The next few days we'll see warming weather, and much slushiness abound in town. Although I'm not sure at this point if I'd rather have a sore lower back from shoveling, or cold and wet feet from slush-puddle hopping.
Keep your boots on and watch your step, New York.
