    Since it happened on a rare day in 1977, I say nothing changed much in the climate. 

    Now if it starts to be a regular occurance then we can talk climate change.

    Weather. Climate isn't the same thing, it's about long term trends. If an Indian Ocean dipole happens five years running, triggering the worst drought in Australia in living memory - that's climate change. One freak happenstance is just weird weather.

    I sit corrected R. One robin does not a spring make. One hand clapping is soundless. One note charlie or one trick pony or one hit wonder. Anomaly. Thank you for your reply.

    Not in the City, but my niece lives in Suffolk County and she said they had some snow - nothing that stuck, though.

    But Central Park (obviously) is in NYC, so I am not sure what Rosie is talking about.

    Actually, on the news last night, they said Central Park recorded a dusting of snow.

    But of course Rosie makes it sound like a major catastrophe.
