Finally, a little taste of Winter; Bad timing though The kids are home from school; they're already out playing in the snow. Look at that! The ground is actually covered in Central Park. It looks beautiful. People are admiring the serene beauty- dogs running at full speed with their noses to the ground.

Speak (un)Easy It's been quite a while since I added to this blog. You know, life has a funny little way of getting in between you and the keyboard. There's talking about the weather from 5-10 am and 4-8 pm on a weekly basis right here on WCBS-AM/880 and lets add in a couple hours of prep time, especially on stormy days.

Summer Lilies are standing tall with buds andready to open. The Yucca stalks are ready to open. The last Peony is ready to drop, check out some pictures that WCBS Meteorolgist Craig Allen took of his blooming garden.
Why did it snow more downstate than upstate? From the look of it we have only about 8 inches of snow. My sister in Queens has over 20 inches; why is Queens getting so much more than us? We usually are hit much harder than her area.
