Today is clear, thankfully, and brutally cold, highs in the 20s with high winds. Tomorrow they are saying more snow for NYC.. up to 2- 4 inches. So far, it seems we are having snow every couple of days. I wonder if this will be one of those winters.

Well, we reached the 40s last week, then it dropped right back down to normal 30s. The major storm missed us this weekend, but the motor for the blower on the furnace went out at work, so never a dull moment. And we got another "dusting" of an inch or so overnight. This is a slow white death....

Really? You southern folks deserve a few inches or feet of snow just for the joy.... but I forget, a dusting will normally paralyze anyone south of the mason-dixon line.
Ha. In 1982 I was living in Houston. Woke up one morning to find snow on the ground and to even call it a dusting would be generous. It didn't even entirely cover the front yard. But regardless that mighty, muscular city of some four million shut down. Watching the morning news, the highways were mostly deserted. I called my boss at home and he said don't bother coming in today, nobody is going to work. By about 10 that morning it had melted off and people began venturing out. Having grown up in Kansas, I had to laugh at the way people reacted.

Snow and the people Down South.
Some cities don't even have snowplows, and they throw sand on the slippy places.

After three warmer days tomorrow through Monday, with more comfortable temps in the 40s F, NYC is then going back into the deep freeze. New Years Eve will see temps in the 20s, with highs not getting above freezing for most of next week. The only solace for us, is that no major snow is in the forecast for the foreseeable future, with just flurries predicted.
WPVI in Philly, and the Weather Channel.com site, are forecasting a potential significant snow/possible Blizzard for Thurs night into Friday. Weather,.com says NY may get at least eight inches.
It';s three days away, but, this is getting interesting.

Maybe 5-8 inches of snow Thu.night into Fri. AM. Maybe I will go back out Friday morning. 
The Watch in NYC has been changed to a Winter Storm Warning, from 6pm tomorrow evening until 1pm on Friday. The forecast is for 6 to 8 inches of snow, with blowing and drifting snow. This could be pretty bad, but areas north of here are forecast to get it worse.
The forecast remains much the same.. They are expecting a heavy snowfall from tonight into midday tomorrow. Once that ends, the temp tomorrow will be a balmy high of 17, with a low of 6. After a bit of moderation this weekend, and Monday, temps are expected to crash again on Tuesday, with highs in the teens, but no snow.
The current temp in Forest Hills shortly after 4am on this Friday is a blazing hot.. 10 Degrees F! We have about five inches of snow on the ground, supposedly, with another two inches expected before the snow ends later this morning. After that.. tonight/s low is expected to be a roasting.. 4 Degrees! This is truly arctic cold. A day to stay inside if one can.

Cold here in Ephrata. 5-6 inches of snow over night. The winds really picked up. Thanks the Lord for snow blowers. 
The final number for snow total here was about 7 inches. It's currently 18 degrees. They have lowered the expected low tonight to a sizzling.. 1 degree! LOL! Tomorrow through Monday are not supposed to be as brutal, but then on Tuesday, temps are supposed to plummet again, with the high that day expected to be a fiery hot.. 10 degrees.
