first snow, what about the winter to come?

Winter's finally (but not officially) started in NYC. It snowed lightly last night (2" at most). Nonetheless this means there was some formation of ice on sidewalks and streets early this morning. This means that grounds and floors of all sorts on constructions (buildings, subway, etc) were wet becoming possibly dangerously slippery. This also meant several traffic accidents as well.

Although the average temperature today's been about 19°F, the wind factor makes it feel much colder. Now I'm not complaining. This weather's much better than roasting at 102°F (http://project05952381.blogspot.com/2010/07/hell-on-earth-102f-nyc.html). Then again, both extremes can be fatal, but I still prefer the cold.
