Thundersnow. Is this new? I only remember it from this year but TWC has often reported it with exciting live feeds. The reporter who seems to be a magnet for this explosive weather wonder is Jim Cantore. His experiences with it are documented with montages well back into the 1990's. Check out his reaction in the following video
and then we have the devastation in Central Park. 1000 trees down, The NYC marathon on Sunday. Will it be ready? Will trees continue to fall?

One bright spot- The Holiday cups are out at Starbucks.
Liam is getting his latte licks. No fancy ones yet. Eggnog, gingerbread, peppermint licks might be a bit too rich.
LOVE THE HOLIDAY CUP LICKS |
