It snowed for awhile today

And it marked the first snowfall of the year, of the decade... it eventually turned to sleet... before then, a few familiar snowy scenes from around the neighborhood...

... and here are two street scenes via Vinny & O...

Sunday's slow melt

Here are two early morning scenes from Tompkins Square Park via Vinny & O...

And snow is on the way...

The additional snow might be good news to the developers behind this new venture — currently at a standstill — in Tompkins Square Park...

How can I really be expected to post today when New York will be a snowy, freezing hell this weekend?

Thank you New York Post for that headline.

And what the paper reports about the weather possibilities:

A fast-moving storm will dump an inch of snow an hour on the city starting at 6 p.m. Saturday and possibly into Sunday, when rain — and then an arctic blast — will turn the Big Apple into a treacherous tundra.

Flakes will fall “hard and quick” before turning to rain sometime between midnight and 3 a.m. Sunday, meteorologists said.

And another take with illustrations...

The NWS has issued a Winter Storm Watch for NYC. Our NY1 official forecast is for 2-4" of snow with snow changing to rain, followed by a flash freeze Sunday night. Conditions will be changeable. pic.twitter.com/Rx8YSJt3SD

Perhaps the biggest weather story unfolding for NYC is the Dangerous Cold on the way. Snow Saturday night could accumulate briefly but look at the Arctic Blast that arrives Sunday night and peaks on Monday. pic.twitter.com/118nSyRBtQ

The area is currently under a Winter Weather Watch. There is a 90 percent chance of unbridled media hysteria and random grocery purchases.
