After it snowed all day yesterday , this was the view from our balcony when we woke up this morning…
And, the view across the street.
Meanwhile, down below, a driver located her car…
And started to extricate it. (A shovel might be more useful.)
While we ate breakfast, Central Park looked magical in the sunlight…
(Down below, she was still at it…)
Thankfully, help (with a shovel) finally arrived!
I decided to be productive and run errands, and passed by the building next door…
Followed this lady down the street…
while noticing the slumbering giants on the left…
and, this alien creature just beyond.
On 95th, I felt like I stepped into Narnia…
Y? Just because.
Along Central Park, a path had been cleared…
Yet the beauty was relatively undisturbed.
I walked by a deserted playground…
And chose not to take this path, since it was already taken.
This is New York!
Visiting from Etsy Paper’s blog thread…
I’m in Northern Jersey and my neighborhood looks similar! I couldn’t see past the mounds of snow pulling out of the driveway this AM! The only way I can enjoy it is since I, too, don’t have to shovel.
Hi there Jojobean,
I remember practically being in tears in WI last year when we got our 3rd or 4th snow storm of the season (and I had to shovel it all alone!) So, I feel entitled to be a little gleeful today. And, since we don’t even own a shovel anymore, I could look out the window today at the people trying to shovel out their cars without too much guilt.
Stay warm!

Fantastic, looks like a fairyland. If you don’t have to shovel it.
The pictures are great – esp Y!!
LOVE
Hi Ma,
You should check out Tom’s blog for his version of the day…the link is http://tomseyeview.wordpress.com/2011/01/28/schools-are-closed-sno-day/
Now I’m off to do the dishes….
Love you!

Looks a lot like home! Of course, we haven’t gotten nearly what you have, so far this winter. So far. There’s still plenty of opportunity. It really hasn’t been so unpleasant, just 2 or 3 inches at a time, every few days. Great pix!
Hi Helen,
Wow, didn’t realize that Milwaukee is being spared the big stuff so far. Maybe it just follows me? I remember several back-breaking days of shoveling last winter (well, I also was doing our entire driveway on my own…)
Hope you continue to have only the manageable stuff!
🙂 Joana
Beautiful indeed, but like you said, if you don’t have to Shovel or Drive in It.
And if it hasn’t turned to dirty slush…we’re now engaged in various forms of street ballet as we attempt to jump over all of the puddles!
Be happy that you are spared the white stuff and that you can eat a pastelo de bacalhau and a travesseiro whenever you want to!
Ciao –
Joana
Hi Joana!
These are amazing pics! I always loved NYC in the snow when it forced people to slow down and look around. I can’t wait to see you in May, when the weather will surely be better!

Hi Leslie,
Yes, I’m having fun getting out and taking pics and also enjoying the snow and NOT having to drive in it! Looking forward to seeing you in May, too! Perhaps it will be warm enough then for a cocktail on our balcony:-)
