  1. Seems to me that the Paris Climate Agreement was mainly eyewash, hence there will be no effect. Reality is that China and India, the largest coal users by far, got a free pass for promises to get better sometime in the 2030s. Now that the US is out, it will be business as usual, with perhaps less need to pretend to be green.
  2. Walking through the Park showed snow cover pretty thin, consistent with the official 1.6" estimate. However, the ground had been wet and it is possible that the initial snowfall was melted, Certainly there was a lot of ice patches where snow had been cleared. The most accumulation was definitely on the rustic wooden fences, they had easily half again as much snow depth as the ground, probably because their surface was pretty dry when the snow began.
  3. Wherever it is, it is not here in Manhattan. We're getting very light snow, maybe at an inch every 3 hours rate. Temperatures are around freezing, so stuff melts or sticks, depending on where it lands. We're nowhere close to any 3" forecast. No dings on the weather service, their maps told the tale, it is more a reproach to all the people who tried to make this into something it was not.
  4. I stand corrected, there is some snow in Manhattan now. I'g guess a quarter inch of wet slop on the ground, maybe building up to as much as an inch if the radar holds. Still not close to the 3-6" hoped for, but we'll be happy with what we got.
  5. If you go outside in Manhattan, you won't see any snow, just slightly wet streets. I'd be delighted if we get an inch of snow cover out of this. Right now it looks to be a Nothing Burger.
