not quite a record setter
first of all did you know that the storm had a name?
i had no idea snow storms had names
this one was called
jonas
now
of course
i am wondering
if they do this
alphabetically
the way they do
tropical storms and hurricanes
if so
what were the other 9
where did they happen
jonas did not break the record for snow fall in central park
the snow measurement is done there because it doesn't change
apparently snow falls elsewhere do
jonas left 26.8 inches of snow in central park
the record holder
whose name i dont know
was
the 2006 storm with 26.9 inches
way to go nameless 2006 storm
i woke on saturday
went to the window
holy white out
got dressed and headed out
walked down to riverside drive
looked back up
west 80th
crossed riverside drive
riverside park was empty for the moment
no
wait
thats a runner there in the distance
this is my favorite spot
outside the park
looking up the drive
later in the day i went outside for a minute
to get a shot of that car
the snow that accumulated
on the back
made it look like it was speeding
to me anyway
sunday morning
it was frigid
but sunny
apparently only our part of the street was shoveled
made walking difficult
when i got up to west end avenue
it was life as usual
coming back several hours later
this car was being dug out
by
3 young men as the owner watched
