Since spring is just around the corner, it makes sense that a big old snow storm is upon us. According to the windows and some weather reports, heavy snow is falling across the tri-state area. Snow will fall until midday and might pile up between one to three inches will fall on New York City. In addition to lovely…
The sloppy winter storm that passed through the nation's midsection over to the mid-Atlantic today should move up the coast Wednesday evening into early Friday, bringing up between 2-8 inches of snow to the New York metro area over the next few days.
Federal offices in D.C. were shut down as a "sloppy winter storm" migrated from the Midwest, aiming to throw down four to six inches of snow onto the capital today.
Chicago and Minneapolis are bracing themselves for over 10 inches of snow as a major winter storm—the season's last, let's hope—gears up to blanket the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic, and possibly even hit New York and Boston. The storm, currently hovering around the Great Lakes, has already started snowing over Minnesota,…
Another blizzard just touched down in the U.S., hitting the nation's midsection early this morning. After hurricane-force winds whipped through the Texas panhandle, the storm moved to Oklahoma and Kansas, cutting off power to thousands and closing highways. It's already claimed two lives: a 21-year-old man whose SUV…
As I write, a massive snowstorm is bearing down on the Northeast, whipping up 50 m.p.h. winds and dumping as much as a foot and a half of snow on New York City. If you live in its path you should buy extra food, you should make sure you've got candles and flashlights, and you should fill up your tub with water.
As you may have learned from Twitter, or your phone, or just by paying vague attention to nearly any news organization: a big storm is headed for the northeast, bringing as many as 20 inches of snow to New York and more to New England. What do we know? What do you need to know?
Have you made plans for this weekend that include traveling outside of your house for even the briefest moment? Cancel them! Or maybe make more of them? The Northeast is about to get walloped or tenderly caressed with either a couple inches or a couple feet of snow.
The King of the Groundhogs "Punxsutawney Phil" was awoken at the ungodly hour of 7:28 this morning, groggily emerging from his harem filled with lady-groundhogs ("Who are the lady groundhogs, anyway? Us? Are we the lady-groundhogs?"), and did not see his shadow, signaling to the absurdly-dressed array of…
Know what the Weather Warlocks over at The National Weather Service were doing while you were taking a two-hour outdoor "working lunch" Thursday? They were issuing an El Niño watch.
So, the little marmot on, uh, Gobbler's Knob in central Pennsylvania saw his shadow, now it's six more interminable weeks of this Winter In Name Only. Die, Groundhog Day.

Fifty-two-year-old Clifton Vial of Nome, Alaska, who does not sound like the sharpest knife in the proverbial psychotic Alaskan woodsman's knife belt, decided to go for a spin in his Toyota Tacoma last week "to see how far a road winding to the north would take him." It took him—and the six-pack of beer he had in the…
Have you decided on your Halloween costume yet? Well, hopefully you can pair it with a sensible puffy coat because winter cometh and she cometh fast. Parts of the Northeast can expect to see up to 12 inches of snow this weekend.
Winter always sucks. (Those of you who don't think that winter always sucks: we believe you'll still agree with the following sentence.) But this past winter has especially sucked. Let us count the ways:
Vikersund, Norway is home to the biggest hill in the world for ski-jumping. Combine that with professional jumper Jon Aaraas and a helmet-cam, and fasten your seatbelt.
After some skating around on a frozen lake, this Norwegian strips to his skivvies and takes a dive into the frozen water. He even pounds a hole in the ice and swims underneath it—while still wearing his skates. Your nipples will freeze just watching it. By the end of the video we learn that the whole event was…
In the northern parts of this country, it's already been a long, wild winter. That makes it the time of year when those of us in freezing cities fantasize about which tropical locations we'd move to. Let's contemplate the options.
