Blizzard

All day Friday it RAINED snow making it difficult to see across the river at times. The wind was very strong.


Workers came to put the crane to bed before the storm. They covered large stacks of material with blue tarp. The wind tried its best to undue all their work.


Saturday morning, and Long Island City families head outside to explore the new snow in Gantry Park below our window.


I snapped this shot as we headed to breakfast. The kids' hats, gloves, and pants were caked with snow. The dad seemed pretty proud.




It's a bit of a problem with the sidewalks not yet shoveled.


Here, our apartment is roped off about 12 feet away from the building to keep pedestrians safe from falling ice.
