Still Life with Robin: One Last Look at Winter - NYC after the "Bomb Cyclone" Dumped 20" of Snow

by Peggy Robin

64°F! That was the high in Washington, DC today. Sometime next week we should see temperatures in the mid-seventies. What a relief!

 

Just a few days ago (Monday, February 23), we were under anywhere from two to four inches of snow (it varied a lot, even within DC), but at least we escaped the big the white-out that shut down all the other big cities along I-95 to our north. 

 

Friends and relations in New York City got a snow day, and a couple of them sent me the photos below. I thought I'd pass them along for one last look at the snowiest winter in almost 30 years. (The winter of 1995-1996 holds the record.)
