Did anyone wake up early enough to see the sunrise version of Manhattanhenge? We thought not. The sun will be out most of the day and a seasonable high in the upper 30s is expected. It should be a breezy day so be prepared for the wind chill.

If you've been sitting in your soul-sucking cubicle hive all day you may not have noticed that it has been cooling off since this morning. Today would have been a good day to have brought extra layers of clothing to work. Central Park peaked at 67 degrees this morning and is now down to 47. Snow is expected tomorrow. Gothamist is fleeing south if we see Jake Gyllenhaal going into the New York Public Library.

February review: Lots of temperature swings as the atmospheric circulation pattern shifted mid-month. Central Park temperatures wound up slightly above average for the month. Precipitation was slightly below normal but more than an average amount of snow fell. All in one storm.

The prediction is for snow to start tonight, with 5-7 inches to falling before it begins to turn to rain Presidents Day. So while things will clear up by the time we all head back to work, the remnants will surely be messy. (chuckle).

If you like winter weather this is the weekend for you! A cold, cold day today is going to be followed by a cold, cold night tonight. The fun begins tomorrow afternoon, when the storm that is currently over Minnesota passes to our south. The Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch and is expecting 4-6 inches of snow. In the best tradition of tabloid meteorology AccuWeather is scaring the crap out of people by presenting a Worst Case Scenario forecast of 12-18 inches of snow in the city, even though they think that much snow is highly unlikely. That much snow looks possible way out on Long Island, but probably not here in the city. AccuWeather's actual forecast is in almost complete agreement with the Weather Service.
