Thanks, Juan


New York City’s record for the snowiest month in history may topple this weekend as more snow falls atop the 19 inches received 2 nights ago. The storm that began on Wednesday broke an 86-year-old record for January snowfall.

A total of 36 inches has fallen in Central Park so far this month, beating the old January record of 27.4 inches set in 1925. The record for the snowiest month in New York City history is 36.9 inches, set last February, 2010.

So we're a mere 0.9 inches from tying the current record for most snow in any calendar month and that record may fall by midnight tomorrow night. All it will take is a full inch and that is most definitely attainable with the flurries arriving by midday or early in the afternoon tomorrow.

Last night I went down to the recycling cage and there was Juan in the cold dark, bundled up like Nanook, breathing heavily and chipping ice from the concrete so we don’t slip. We have a great super.
