Central Park always the low man on the totem pole. It's an old story and it never changes.

Final of 4.5 inches brings the season total to 49.5.

Wonder if I'll make 50? or 60? 70? or maybe 80? A man can dream.

Was working much of today.

2.4" for me bring my seasonal snow total to 25.7"

CPK's 2.1" puts it at 22.6", putting it at "near normal" status.

Of course, I wonder if Upton will work to revise the snow totals from 1/7 to 1/14. That would raise the snow total by about an inch or so.

I will say, the best part about a snowstorm without strong winds is that the trees look so beautiful in the snow as they did today!

Congratulations!!

2 inches of snow today

I initially gave a big thumbs up to the RED but I'm having second thoughts. I'm finding it a little hard on the eyes like it's starting to burn my retinas.

Anyone else not liking it?
