NYC Snowstorm '06

New York City is magical when it snows! First of all, the city get SO quiet. It is wonderful. Second, it is even double when it snows on a weekend - which it did!

We went to Central Park - the cities very own backyard and play ground to all. Or, as I heard someone else say, "A ton of miniature Olympic Villages"! Well, we do have a bit of nature, too. Here is a cardinal to prove it.



This was AMAZING. The fountain stairs near the boat pond had been turned into sledding hills! Ramps and all!!



You can't really see, but that is my sweetie, Stephen, who just took a ride.



That's the two of us all bundled up. A nice British New Yorker asked us if we wanted our picture taken. Everyone was so friendly in the snow : )



Here is a street shot - not a lot of traffic!



Here is a picture of me in front of a car on one of the streets in my neighborhood of Greenwich Village. You can see that this person isn't really going anywhere real soon!



It was so refreshing to have the snow. I was getting a bit concerned that we went from December to Spring. Of course, it is now all NYC brown slush, but the magic was worth it.
