Beyond the misery of all this snow, I like to remind myself that there is some beauty to be found. But, seriously, I’ve had enough snow to last me until next winter.

Snow Falling at the Manhattan Bridge Entrance
Yet another blizzard hits New York City! That’s quickly becoming a regular occurrence around here. At least the city was prepared this time and most people knew to stay off the roads. Of course, that doesn’t mean that it still wasn’t an adventure trying to get around. Just take these people trying to cross Canal St at the foot of the Manhattan Bridge – a long crossing, especially when snow is flying at your face.
BTW, this is the first photo posted here that was taken with my brand new Canon 50D DSLR. So happy.

Yup, More Snow
Not to get all Old Man McCrankyPants but, seriously? More snow when we’ve yet to entirely do away with the last blast of snow still lingering on our sidewalks? Sure, it’s not Mother Nature’s fault that the city’s slow response is mostly responsible that there are still reminders of the last storm – the remaining, greying snow and the garbage bags lining the curb – but it’d be nice if she’d be a little understanding. Perhaps a one-month reprieve? Is that too much to ask? Then again, maybe she’s taking pity on us because, as I type this, it seems like the snow is starting to taper off already.

It’s Snow Go for MTA
I’m not gonna pile on against the MTA here – they’ve taken enough hits from the public. I just wanted to say it’s pretty funny to see snow in the underground stations like the one where I get on the M/R. At the height of the storm on Sunday night, there were some underground stations that looked like they were above ground and outdoors. The 57th Street entrance in the second photo was just a mess. People were gripping onto the handrails for dear life and that hardly mattered since one in every five still managed to slip and slide.

Finally, A Snow Plow!
I raced down the block last night to take these photos. Why was I so excited that I had to do that just to get some photos of a snow plow? Because at 10:25 pm last night, my block finally saw its first Sanitation Department snow plow, only two-plus days after it stopped snowing. This blizzard has been just one huge clusterf*ck for the city – Mayor Bloomberg, Sanitation, and the MTA, in that order, should all be ashamed of themselves for the way they’ve handled the situation.

Snow Day December 2010
This past Sunday into Monday saw the biggest snowstorm ever to hit New York City. At least the biggest once since the last “biggest one”, like, you know, the one we had in February… of this year. Jokes aside, this was pretty crazy stuff – there were even reports of THUNDERSNOW! Lightning during a blizzard – if that isn’t some sort of sign of the impending apocalypse, I don’t know what is.
