You may have heard that the East Coast was walloped with a snowstorm this weekend. As a Wisconsinite, the sound of snowplows scraping the pavement and snowblowers bustling down the blocks made me feel happily at home. I had a great time watching the snow from indoors, while writing and reading and making cookies. But I did venture outside–I had to see the record-breaking snow for myself! Here are some scenes from the city during and after the snow:
Half-buried car on an empty avenue
Sledders heading to the park, during the storm
More sledders in the street
Silent night
The snowy streets were magical
Another quiet street
The next morning: Do you want to build a snowman?
Frozen Citibikes
Sledding!
Great pics! I especially liked the one of all the people building snowmen – very cool 🙂
That park always has a “snowman showdown” with the first snow of the year–people had been waiting a long time to get outside and build stuff in the snow. 🙂
