It's been one heck of a winter in NYC. Earlier this week, we had a blizzard that dropped almost 21 inches of snow in the city. As someone who grew up in New York, I remember winters like this with lots of snow so I'm not really phased. We had snowpocalypse in 2015 (see my photos from that) but that was nothing compared to this recent storm. I've said it before that I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with snow in the city. It's like magical and even kind of romantic when it's falling and frosting buildings and streets but the reality of having to navigate through the dirty black slush it's destined to become is quite the opposite.
Anyhow, the snow makes for a nice subject which I've always liked photographing so come along with me on the walk on I took this Monday morning in lower Manhattan. It was actually quite peaceful and enjoyable especially Brooklyn Bridge. Big props to Mayor Mamdani and the sanitation department for clearing the snow promptly and doing a better job than they did in January. It's pretty obvious they learned and improved which is great for the city. Be sure to scroll al the way to end to see a little peek of the ugly reality of snow in New York. And trust me, this isn't even that bad. I've been posting snow videos on my Instagram all week. Have you ever seen snow covered cherry blossoms?
