Blizzard of '06
Brooklyn, NY - 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.
Walking along Sixth Avenue, glancing down the side-streets...
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...

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

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.

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 ;-}

RCA Building
Here is a shot of the old RCA building in St-Henri. The one with the Toshiba sign on top of it. I find it looks like something out of a videogame.
