For anyone not in Brooklyn this morning, it is snowing here right now.

  It snows in Florida sometimes, too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_in_Florida https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_in_Florida NYC saw the warmest January on record, and measurable snow didn't start in NYC this year until Feb 1, the latest in 150 years. https://www.wunderground.com/article/news/news/2023-01-30-new-york-city-latest-first-snow-of-season-record-set https://www.wunderground.com/article/news/news/2023-01-30-ne...

  And it's over 40 in Providence. I'm having trouble reading your comment as anything other than misleading about how warm this winter has been.

    New England is also having one of its warmest winters on record, and the trend over the last 40 years has been consistent warming.

  It's raining in Boston. Although points west and north are getting a lot of heavy, wet snow. I'd need to look up the numbers but I felt like while we didn't get much snow at all that we got a *lot* of rain. There were a number of rainstorms where if it'd been rain we'd have been pounded. And when it did snow, not much stuck and/or it melted away in a couple of days. This isn't the only year I can remember that, but it's at least unusual.

  > For anyone not in Brooklyn this morning, it is snowing here right now. Weather ≠ climate. Just ask California over the last little while. In fact it may snow more often as the climate warms a bit in some regions: as warmer air holds more moisture. Then when it slams into a cold front it sheds that moisture, and with climate change destabilizing the jet stream ("polar vortex") the cold Arctic air may jut farther down hitting the warm-moist air that comes up from the south.
