Snow Day


Great excitement - it finally snowed.


I like snow so much I got up in the night to see if it had started...


Early in the morning a person is walking a dog.


Then I had to walk Buster  - who was much more cheerful than this picture looks.


Not too many people out on 9th Avenue at 8am.


But a work crew were shoveling already.


A man on a bicycle crossing 8th Avenue - rather risky, I imagine.


Back indoors I look west.


Then I decide to go up onto the roof to take super-duper pictures of the entire city.... except it is snowing on the entire city and there isn't a thing to see...Oh well....

    Oh well, though I don't like more than a few large flakes of snow, it does look pretty. Enjoy.

      It is rather dramatic and exciting - luckily it will be almost over by the morning!

    it is very beautiful! The prettiest stage of the process, as it melts , not so much. Buster does not looked pleased but I'll bet it made him frisky! Love the blue booties, He is such a well loved pooch! The way light shines in snow is so soft and magical, gorgeous photos, Ms. EWIX!

      Buster is having fun - but the winds are now kicking up and it is total white out - rather thrilling in a way!

    Elizabeth, I love your snow pictures! They really do tell the story of the 2016 Blizzard...now ranking within the top five blizzards in history. Good to see Buster out in his blue boots.

    Channel 7 has a reporter stationed at the corner of 23rd and Ninth. I was looking for you all in the background of her reporting.

    I am thrilled to report that the shop has closed for the day, and that the closing happened before I had to go to work. Hooray...reason prevailed.

    I've got a few snow seen through a window photographs over at my place, too. xo

      I know about channel 7!
      Buster and I walked past on our lunchtime walk - but obviously we were not picturesque enough to get on TV!
      However it now seems to be getting WORSE rather than better. So glad you did not have to go to work.

      Yes, much better from indoors. Rather dreading the 5pm dog walk.
      Am having friends from our building for tea and baking scones so enjoying it really.
      all best wishes

    Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful.
    The view is so pretty out your window. Even better when your power is still on.
    Love the view of snowdrops on your windows.

    cheers, parsnip

    I love the way the snow makes soft cushiony looking mounds on everything. Lucky you to have snow. It is beautiful.

    Wow, a lot of snow there! Please send me some, here is only 1 cm (about half inch).
    I see Buster enjoyed the walk in the snow. Have a nice Sunday!
    (I started a new blog, if you have time go and check it out here: http://egyszervolt-voltegyszer.blogspot.hu/ ) Not much on it now, but will grow :)

    Lovely, snowy photographs Elizabeth - we have heard about your snowfall on our news over the last twenty four hours. I would love it from the comfort of my armchair.

    It certainly looks good whilst your are warm and dry inside...not so good having to work in it I would imagine. Beautiful scenes.

    The city looks so beautiful with a white blanket on it, doesn't it?? My husband is so thrilled that he doesn't work in the city anymore and have to dig out his own parking spot. Lol!! We got barely three inches. I hope we have more snow this year but I just read that temps are supposed to be above normal for the most part until March. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Love your photos!! Have a wonderful weekend!! xoxo
