Fake Winter

As many know, I have not been impressed with NYC's winter this year. It has been the quintessential just-too-warm-for-snow weather that is always frustrating to me, but this year has been especially bad. Just about no snow at all, and every "winter storm" has been a disappointment. My father lives a few hours north of here, so he often has more success with snow than I, but even he is fed up with this year's "effort." He writes:

Now there is a 3" layer of frozen slush everywhere. Time for winter to end. It's lost its way.

Indeed!
