Blizzard, oh baby.

Nothing brings out community duty like the first winter storm. Brooklyn was cloaked in snow and slush and an army of shovels dug in a line. More than one welcome mat was swept up on the curb, crumpled and frozen. Shop keepers enlisted those brave enough to march out for coffee or bagels to help lift their security gates from the snow drifts. A street worker helped a couple push their car and the little boy with all the curls threw snow balls at unsuspecting pedestrians.

Precipitation is good for the soul.

  1. Just discovering this, but I really like the blog. Keep it going. I'm "relaunching" mine on New Year's and will be posting consistently about, well, everything! Tell friends. I'll keep reading. See in NY later this year.
