35 degrees. Cold is pouring in now just as the last batch of moisture has left my region. This storm epitomizes how this winter has gone.

Meanwhile didn't see a flake of snow here in midtown Manhattan while Jman and dtone saw some snow in the Bronx and just outside nyc in Westchester. No man's land set up shop right over NYC for this one.

I saw on abc 7 some video of mod to heavy snow at the top of the empire state building, but (mostly) rain on the street. It was cool to see and hurt at the same time, so close yet so far.

That is an example of a mini- climate, 1000 feet up very different than the street.Very interesting observation!

I underestimated how much I got. I remeasured when I went out to shovel and scrape ice off the cars and came up with 5.5 which is what Poughkeepsie reported as well. Right now 22 with some very light snow.

by **Radz** on Sun Jan 20, 2019 1:57 pm

temp dropping nicely, down to 26° with
light snow

by **Taffy** on Sun Jan 20, 2019 3:16 pm

The temp is now 32 with wind chill feel of 20. The wind is whipping up and is 22 mph from the North. My house is getting chilly. Time to amp up the heat.

by **weatherwatchermom** on Sun Jan 20, 2019 3:29 pm

we dropped from 53* at 11 am to 31* in 4 hours we dropped 22 degrees...wow....and winds are now whipping at 21 miles per hour ...making it feel like 19 out.....the sun made an appearance. I'm with you Taffy I closed all blinds of windows not getting any sun and cranked up the heat and fire place a bit...

by **dkodgis** on Sun Jan 20, 2019 3:41 pm

It is 22 here. Spent four hours outside cleaning up and this after the pkow guy. I shoveled blocks of ice snow. Heavy but now maybe the driveway won’t have thst glze tomorrow.

by **Taffy** on Sun Jan 20, 2019 4:16 pm

Mom, it's now down to 27 and feels like 14. Winds are at 21. I'm following your lead and closing any blinds and drapes. Temps are dropping like a rock
