Well I never - Just read that NYC has seen it's biggest snowfall in 2 years = 1.7"

Well I never! If New York City are struggling for appreciable amounts of snow then you know we are in trouble!? I never knew that was the most the big apple saw in 2 years! WOW!

BBC last night showing a major plunge of cold/freezing air on a broad front reaching as far south as the fringes of the Gulf of Mexico. This morning's Accuweather expecting it to disappear as fast as it came, before the temp drops back to an average value. Since it's the contrast between this plunge and warmer air to the south that's firing up the jet stream, we may be spared more major storms.

https://www.accuweather.com/en/winter-weather/dangerous-ice-storm-snow-to-lead-warmup-in-midwest-and-northeast/1615012 

From the link, selected, temps last Sun and next Thu, Washington DC 34F >62F, Burlington VT 18F > 41F, Raleigh NC 42F > 71F.

It also says that ice coverage on the Great Lakes is well below norm (14%, usually 25%).

Most noteworthy to me is that the main river in the city, the Guadalmedina, is totally dry. I would have thought in mid winter it would typically be flowing. No significant rain forecast for the next  two weeks either.

To put it into context, the 40C we saw here a couple of summers ago was around 17C above the mean!

The upper air temperature around the record was about 6C; thoroughly unremarkable. This was an unbelievably extreme fohen, which also explains why noone talked about record temperatures occuring today; you wouldn't think it from the synopsis
