 Welcome to Winter! New York Harbor had its first significant snowfall of the 2017-2018 winter season, twelve days before the official start of the winter season. Most places around the harbor received between 3 to 6 inches of snow. New York City's Central Park and LaGuardia Airport both picked up 4.6 inches of snow, marking the first measurable snow for the season.    The snow started on Saturday morning and ended before midnight. It was a heavy wet snow that fell across New York Harbor from a coastal storm that stretched all the way from the Gulf of Mexico to Maine and the Canadian Maritimes. Snow is no stranger to the month of December to both New York and New Jersey. Generally, snowfall becomes a factor with an average snowfall around New York Harbor of about five inches. But it’s not only snow. Nights are at the longest this month and the duration of daylight is at its shortest. Cloudiness is also at its peak in December. Thank goodness for holiday lights to provide some cheer for an otherwise dark December.  Snowfall total in inches around Sandy Hook Bay in New Jersey

When winter season hits Canada, expect that it would be the extreme level of winter season wherein people would be forced to stay inside their houses despite the fact that there are still things they need to accomplish outside. If people desire for a humid weather, Canadians wish for the opposite one, and I am sure that we all get the reason why! Right now, I just hope that this season will end anytime soon because if it has become too unbearable already, then it would be reasonable for us to pray for it to stop! I do not know if a lot of people will agree with this, but I must say that Winter is the best season for me. The season always tends to make me feel something unexplainable but in a good way. It gives me the feeling of importance which I can't really explain how or why. Moreover, whenever I see snow, I can't help but feel emotional and happy at the same time. I know this is kind of weird but this is what I really feel and I want to share with you all. Anyway, I still believe though that we need to be extra careful during Winter because the season is not really that safe at all and I know a lot of people are aware of this fact. Leave a Reply. |
