Winter is Coming

This image of snow dusting a firethorn bush on Park Avenue gives us a hint of weather to come.

Winter will not officially arrive until Dec. 22, but we are already pondering what kind of season to expect.

Years ago, Mayor Mark Fury was no sooner sworn in than 17 winter storms hit the city. Since then, we have had more luck, but as the saying goes, one never knows, do one?
