Snow in January: Atlanta Gets More than New York City
You know that it’s been an unusual January when Atlanta records more snowfall than New York City. With no snow forecast for the last day of the month in either city, Atlanta has recorded 1.4 inches of snow for the month, with most of that coming on the 19th. On the other hand, New York City recorded a trace of snow on the 27th, its only white stuff for the month.
According to an article in the New York Sun, it’s the first time in 75 years that no measurable snow has fallen in NYC in January. The article also quotes Weather Service officials as saying that the lack of snow in the Big Apple is due more to storm patterns tracking inland than due to global warming.
Hat tip to the Drudge Report for noticing this.
