New Yorkers Seek Life In The Snow Lane
The Big Apple has finally had snow – but if you blinked, you missed it. The flakes lasted just a few minutes and barely left a trace on the ground, but NYC has seen its first winter snow - the latest of any winter in 129 years. National Weather Service meteorologist Brian Ciemnecki said it is the latest snowfall since records were kept in 1878. Snow did not fall in New York until January 4 that year. ConnecticutPost.com reports it is still unclear whether this winter could be the least snowy in history - there were just seven centimetres recorded in 1972-73.

Yes, true, we're having a very strange winter here on the East Coast. At first thought, it does seem like a running advertisment for Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" but climatologists assure us it's not global warming but the effects of El Nino. I miss that white stuff, hope we get some soon!
Spoke to a close friend in NYC on Christmas Day - hence the blogpost pointing out that Xmas Day in Melbourne (in the middle of a scorching summer) was a dramatic 12 Celsius and colder than NYC the same day (in winter).
