So…how was your weekend, enjoy the rain? The little Nor’easter that ripped through the tri-state area caused all sorts of havoc: NJ Transit passengers were stranded, people were killed by falling trees, power was knocked out on Long Island, and there was reports of mass umbrellocide across the city. Btw, today’s forecast? More rain.
Can you believe it’s still snowing? Now it’s getting silly. Cops in Bushwick had to block off Sumner Place earlier after a nice-sized chunk of street collapsed. The DOT responded a couple of hours later and patched it up with a metal plate and some cones so all is relatively safe…for now. Send us your damage reports!

We may all be guilty of prematurely using Snowpocalypse and Snowmageddeon to describe the past two storms to trample the city, in light of the latest and most severe weather yet, dumping approximately 17 inches of the white stuff in Central Park. This was also the scene of the latest tragedy, as one man was killed by a falling tree and a similar culprit damaged a bus on Fifth Avenue. It’s also being reported that 200,000 people are without power because of the blustery weather and things have gotten so bad, that even the New York Post’s editors may have been confused, running a photo of a snowy City Hall in Philadelphia for an article mostly about snowy NYC.
So you survived Snowmageddeon, but you’re not quite safe just yet. The sun is out in full force today and with the warmer weather comes the next phase: slush. And as these theologians note, it’s everywhere, like a plague.

Good morning New Yorkers. As predicted, there’s a lethal white substance covering the streets of the city and it wants to kill you. But you can fight back! Carry on like normal without clumsiness or panic. Do this and you will live!

Weather people have always said that if it snows before the first day of winter arrives, it’s likely that the city will get dumped on this season. Well expect that and then some. According to one meteorologist, “It’ll be like the great winters of the ’60s and ’70s.” Fun! |NYDN|

While everyone has photos of the white stuff from ground level, NASA upped the ante with this satellite image—which we cropped for relevancy—of a snow blanketed East Coast a day after the snowstorm swept through, which happened to be December 21st, the official start of winter.

Considering that it’s not even winter yet, that was a pretty okay snowstorm. About 11 inches fell in Central Park, the weather epicenter of New York City. Here’s some random snowy shots spanning from Brooklyn to Manhattan.

Tropical Storm Danny is gaining strength as it moves towards the eastern coast of the U.S. and will create terrible conditions for pretty much everyone except surfers this weekend. It’s expect to turn into a “full-blown hurricane” and could create “10-foot high waves and dangerous riptides.” |NYP|
