Headline seen on CNN web page:

Storm could bring New York City it's Biggest Snow Since 2022

That's January 2022. The biggest snow in 2 years merits a banner headline? Huh?

I think that the Big Apple was due to get about 8 inches of snow--which it apparently received a lot less.  I believe that I got about 4 inches?  Didn't bother to measure it this time (windy earlier with snow drifts).  Thankfully it was light and fluffy.  Must admit that regardless I'm still a bit tired.  Pretty cold outside too...well below freezing.
