I guess we're making up for last winter.
Then, the weather belied a pandemic that was gathering steam: It hardly snowed at all, and we didn't have an extended cold spell. The reports I read confirmed what I thought: The season was one of the warmest winters on record.
One week ago, a storm dumped about 43 cm (17 inches) of snow. Temperatures remained below freezing until Friday, so much of the snow remained. In fact, when I rode through Red Hook on Saturday, Sanitation Department trucks were still plowing it.
I guess they had no place else to dump it. So, a stretch of Clinton Street was blocked off and the NYSD created a temporary "ridge."
Well, they finished it--and I got a ride in--just in time. Snow fell again yesterday: about half as much as the first storm left, but enough to complicate things.
But when the storm left late yesterday, it left a lovely glow in its wake
about two blocks from my apartment.
