Did NYC Actually See Snow This Winter? A Snowy Saga
New York City and snow – it’s a classic love-hate relationship. Some folks dream of a white Christmas, while others are just hoping their morning commute isn’t a slippery slope. So, did the Big Apple get its fill of the frosty stuff this winter? Let's dive in.
A Snow Day Dream Deferred
If you were hoping for a winter wonderland in NYC this year, you might have been a little disappointed. While there were a few flurries here and there, the city's snowfall total was more like a gentle dusting than a blizzard. It’s like Mother Nature decided to give us a taste of winter without committing.
Remember that epic snowstorm of 2016? Yeah, we don't either. Okay, maybe a little. But compared to that, this winter was more of a gentle snowflake’s wet dream than a snowplow’s nightmare.
So, Did It Snow or What?
To cut a long story short: yes, it snowed, but not enough to build a snowman that could rival Olaf. The city did manage to break a few records, though – like the longest stretch without a decent snowfall. Talk about a snow drought!
But fear not, snow lovers. Climate change is a fickle beast, and who knows what next winter will bring? Maybe we'll be knee-deep in the white stuff, or maybe we'll be rocking shorts in February. Either way, we’ll be here to keep you updated on all the snowy shenanigans.
How to Survive a Snow-less Winter in NYC
- How to find indoor activities: Museums, theaters, and countless bars and restaurants await your shivering soul.
- How to stay warm: Layers, people, layers. And maybe a hot chocolate or two.
- How to avoid slipping and falling: Invest in some decent winter boots and walk like a penguin.
- How to appreciate the lack of snow: More sunshine, less shoveling. It's a win-win.
- How to dream of snow: Close your eyes and imagine a world covered in white. It's free therapy.
So, there you have it. The snowy saga of NYC’s winter. Until next year, stay warm and dream of snow-covered Central Park (or maybe just a really good hot chocolate).
