New York City winters aren't really wintry (Buffalo, Syracuse: 2014, how much)

And so it begins; a high of 21 degrees tomorrow on Christmas Eve. Drive safe everyone.

Buffalo would like to have a chat with you.

NYC is certainly cold enough today. I remember only one day colder...In the 1970's it was 6 degrees in Greenwich Village one evening.


I wouldn't take a house in Buffalo FOR FREE.

With today's frigid temperatures I would say that NYC winters are definitely real! I realize that in the last decade or more NYC winters tend to be milder than in the 20th century but they can still pack a punch at times.

Let's hope the punches are few and far between. I walked to my wine store this morning.To quote W.C.Fields: "'Taint a fit day for man nor beast."

I definitely think that not much has changed. That being said we are due for an eye-popping warm-up late this coming week.

Yep. Just in time for NYE at Times Square. The revelers will be happy. It will be a balmy 55 degrees.

With rain though. This pattern reminds me a lot of the beginning of 1985, which was warm and foggy. Hopefully it keeps that pattern, where January 1985 had some snow and lots of cold. That would not surprise me since we are now in an aging La Niña.

Oh that's good to hear. My legs won't freeze when I wear a dress...
