Blizzard of '06

- GGP - Tuesday, February 21st, 2006 : goo

[previous] :: [next]

Now that the snow has melted, the timing seems right to post my photos from--was it merely a week ago??--the Blizzard of 2006. Actually, it wasn't technically a blizzard--I can't remember why, but it WAS the heaviest snowfall in NYC history, so say the people who study such things.

Our snow-admiring tour begins in Prospect Park, in a lovely and underutilized area called the Veil of Cashmere.

We then proceed down Union Street in Park Slope, toward Seventh Avenue.

A local food shop advertises its Valentine's Day wares against a reflective backdrop of ice and snow and cold.

The requisite snow-enveloped-garbage-shot.

And home again, when melted snow on the camera lens brings a happy accident in this photo of Gumdrop.

#1 and #9 are really timeless shots. i'm surprised this is the biggest snowfall nyc's had. it's a lot of snow, sure, but it doesn't seem like a record-breaker.

kc: lovely! some of the color verges on Hoolean...

kc: 21st Feb 2006 - 20:47 GMT

and is it the Vale of cashmere? I have to look that up!

kc: 21st Feb 2006 - 20:48 GMT

A wonderful whiz of a blizz it was...
okay, I'll stop now.

GGP: 21st Feb 2006 - 22:29 GMT

you're probably right about vale, kc. can't sneak anything by you!! ;)

Elicar: 22nd Feb 2006 - 00:01 GMT

Makes me wish for snow, which luckily (or unluckily) we have been spared off. I thinked I shovelled only 5 times this winter.

elaine: 22nd Feb 2006 - 10:08 GMT

WOW! i capslock to your awesome posting! fabulous, gorgeous, sumptuous, yummy.

Peter: 22nd Feb 2006 - 14:48 GMT

it looks like gumdrop is daydreaming a rainbow hologram into existence...

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: 22nd Feb 2006 - 15:08 GMT

Yep. This is a great selection of fab pictures. Really beautiful.

jack: 22nd Feb 2006 - 15:13 GMT

reminds me of the blizzard of 48. kids used garbage can covers for sleds. people walked in the streets. i remember the snow so deep that i could'nt see over it and i felt like i was walking in tunnels. of course i was only 6. it was a good time of life.

KC Vale: 19th Apr 2006 - 15:39 GMT

Have you ever typed your name in Google and looked at what comes up?
I did that this morning just for giggles and grins and this was one of the sites.

I assume it is because of the other KC writing about the "Vale of cashmere" that triggered a match.
I found that rather humorous, but not as funny as seeing people knee deep in snow on VALEntines day.
I live in the desert and played golf that day ;-}

This is a fabulouw appreciation of nature and of course Brooklyn at its best...have been searching for a description of the Veil of Cashmere...thanks a bunch for the answer....PS..love the Kitty at the end.I have the twin here at home...
