New York, New York, it's a helluva town, the temperature goes up and snow comes down | The Australian

AN exceptionally warm blizzard hits the city where climate change never sleeps.

The Union of Concerned Scientists' report Confronting Climate Change in the US Northeast, July 2007:

FROM thundering Niagara Falls to bustling Manhattan, the climate of New York is changing. Spring is arriving earlier, summers are growing hotter, and winters are becoming warmer and less snowy. New state-of-the-art research shows New York can expect dramatic changes in climate over the course of this century. Snow is an iconic characteristic of New York winters and an integral part of many favourite winter activities and traditions. But rising temperatures over the past few decades have caused snow to become wetter (or more slushy), and decreased the average number of snow-covered days across the state.
