Contrastingly, this winter has been different, with weeks of sweater weather and snow days out of the realm of possibility. Though the impacts of climate change are seen through this weather change, another consequence of the weather fluctuation lies in the daily moods of New Yorkers, including Grace students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">February 27th and 28th were the first measurable snowfalls in the city in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/01\/23\/nyregion\/new-york-snow-rain-winter.html\">320<\/a> days. This is close to being the longest consecutive days recorded without snow in New York City. It hasn\u2019t only felt like a snowless winter but truly has been. This winter has been the second warmest New York winter ever <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/02\/21\/nyregion\/ny-warm-winter-weather.html\">recorded<\/a>, truly impacting the lives of those who live here. For many Grace students, their only experience of snow this year was during the Ski Trip at Gore Mountain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When heading into the cafeteria and asking around, it was made clear that Grace students feel strongly about how this winter\u2019s weather has impacted them. Here\u2019s what they had to say:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cThose days where it was 60 degrees, those were the happiest days this whole season.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Tamyrha D \u201824<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cI don\u2019t think the weather directly affects whether I\u2019m feeling happy or not, but I think that the things that I can do in that weather affect it.
