Jumping Jack reached out to #CityImages saying that he almost forgot what the inside of a bar looks like and decided to celebrate.

After waiting a week following his 2nd shot, jab, or #COVID vaccine prick, Jumping Jack decided it was time to have a shout down at the local Irish 31 Pub. He also happens to be a second-generation BARISTA, but we're not referring to the neighborhood coffee house. A barista is now a person whose job involves preparing and serving different types of coffee.

A complex winter storm will start today in the Midwest with heavy snow from the Upper Mississippi Valley to the Ohio Valley, including the Chicago metro area. On Sunday, the snow and wintry mix will spread into the Mid-Atlantic region before a potential Nor'easter intensifies and significantly impacts portions of the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and New England on Monday and Tuesday.

Leaving The City: A family journey. According to Forbes, and Reuters, folks are beginning to move out of Metropolis.

When I first moved to City Island, A Slice of NYC Paradise I found a small and quiet seaside village but I had no idea there would be so many knuckleheads living here who would eventually refuse to protect others and themselves by wearing masks. An old-timer who was born and died on the same street warned me that many of them had moved into our island. Captain Ed explained that according to local tradition, anyone actually born on the island is known as a "clamdigger". A City Island resident not born on the island is known as a "mussel-sucker."

Wide tornadoes such as the one which slammed New York on Sunday are relatively rare, but even more unusual is the fact that forecasters were able to predict zones hard hit earlier on, by nearby regions slammed in the Northeast over the weekend.

The National Weather Service issued the warning at 8:40 p.m. ET, telling residents to immediately go indoors, seek shelter and stay away from windows.

STAND BY OUR HEROES

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No, I won't be afraid
No, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
