I feel about 80 years old saying this, but I often look for that warm up, followed by a quick pattern-changing event on the frontal passage... followed by another storm in like 3 days.. to really begin winter.
Some pics from lunchtime/Madison Sq Park. I have a new office down this way.

Motivated to get off of Facebook and Instagram, I recently got organized with thousands of pictures - snow and not-snow! - and put them back together in a new photo site. Here's my snow archive:

Fun night here. Power out as @Snowaddict28noted. An hour after we fell asleep all of the smoke alarms (which are wired) in this rental went off. After trying to turn them off one by one (by popping batter open) I found one with water in it. Assuming that caused it to malfunction, setting the other ones off??? I don’t think there is any logical source for CO.
