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 an ideal 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 NYC 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. It's not all that pretty and trust me, this isn't even tall hat bad. I've been posting snow videos on my Instagram all week. Have you ever seen snow covered cherry blossoms?

You are a talented photographer, and your subject is beautiful. Happy Friday friend. May it be all you hope.
The photos are absolutely beautiful. It's incredible how much snow you had.
What a marvelous sight! But I am over it now. No more snow.
Just awesome shots, chingu:) Made me almost like snow....almost:D As a Canadian, I know we should be used to this, and it is pretty lovely to look at, but because we drive everywhere here, snow has been the bane of my existence every winter. Also, people don't know how to drive! Anyhoo, it's great to hear it's warming up a bit there now. Same here, but now, freezing rain....LOLZ
NYC is so lucky to have such a great mayor, but of course, New Yorkers would vote for someone like him:) I really do feel anxiety everytime I turn on the news and see what the orange monster over there is up to:(
