Yesterday afternoon the FedEx man was finishing his deliveries...
as we waited for Snowmaggedon to hit New York City. A state of emergency was declared. Cars were ordered off the streets. Well, in the end, it was a nice little snow storm but not nearly as dramatic as billed. It is much worse on Long Island.
Herewith some photos before, and after.
Buster ponders the snowfall.
The night was quiet without traffic.
This morning 23rd Street was traffic free...
but the Chelsea Square Diner was open full of cops having breakfast...
the clean up crew posed for their photo and
Cosmo and Cleo were pleased to see Buster.
This intrepid reporter headed up to the roof ...
and looked down to the desolate intersection of 8th Avenue and 23rd Street...
saw the cleanup crew by the subway entrance...
the lavender and butterfly bush looking miserable.
Much the same on Renata's deck...
Looking south.
I was sort of looking forward to a blizzard of "historic" proportions. I'd even got the candles left over from Hurricane Sandy out and filled jugs with water...
Oh well, it's fun to see so few cars and the city school children are thrilled to be off for the day.
