On Saturday, New York City received 4.3 inches of snow in Central Park.  This was our first significant snowfall of the season.  The city’s last measurable snowfall was back in October during a surprising pre-season snowstorm.

This winter has been relatively mild, so it was exciting to finally see some snow on the ground.  The local forecast, however, is calling for a major warm up this week.  As a result, this snow will not last long.  However, with more than two months left to the winter season, I am guessing that the snow will be back before long.
