Blast from the Past!


Gumption struggles to hide her disappointment at the pathetic 6 inches on Madison Square Park

There's nothing worse than a long drawn out winter, with weeks, months even, of freezing temperatures without the fun of busting out into some powdery whites.. Well last week we had a snowfall of about 6 inches.. the heaviest fall this season but nothing! nothing! like last year's 24 inches.. Then yesterday the weatherdude says for all intents and purposes that's all folks! Spring is on its way.. maybe a couple more days over the weekend, of freezing temps courtesy of another Arctic blast (Whaaat?) but no more snow!!
Bleugh!

Two and a Half Inches!

As we all know too well, the weather has been totally out of whack! It's been a cold couple of weeks (by NYC standards) with the temp hovering around freezing in the day and dipping in the night to about -8°C!
But it wasn't until a couple of nights ago that we had our first sustained snowfall this season. All of two and a half inches.. not very satisfactory at all! Especially for snow loving Gumption!
