First Proper Snow Storm


8th Avenue and 23rd Street.



An umbrella and a long coat very helpful.


Bicycling not recommended but if your livelihood depends on it....

Lots of shopping still to do......

Way down town near City Hall..............

............the warm lights of Trinity Church look welcoming

  1. I've just realised you cleverly put falling snow on your pics, I had to look twice, I thought it was my tired eyes! Lovely pictures, so very much as I imagine NY to be.

  2. Want snow? Well, come west for a visit! You're invited ... but bring a snow shovel, none are currently available in these parts.

  3. Here in NYC, my cat Milo is sitting on the window sill regularly leaping against the glass, trying to attack the snowflakes. Found you on Willow's.
    "The Lives of Others", yes.

  8. I'm so glad you took pictures! I'm annoyed that my camera is broken - the screen is green and miserable and I can't see anything through it.

  12. Hello Elizabeth,

    When I went out into the snowfall mid-morning in search of greenery for my substitute Christmas tree, the flakes were swirling around, and my umbrella was no use at all. Looking around me on Amsterdam, I thought ... bet Elizabeth has got her camera out!

    So glad that you did.

    Fragrant juniper and red berried holly have found a place on the only vacant table top. I hung some of my old baubles on the juniper.

    Indoors this afternoon, I added another fragrance to the apartment, as I baked sheet after sheet of brown sugar cookies. Stars with green or red grainy sugar sprinkled on top.

    Back to work tomorrow! xp
