Snowed In

This year's snowfall accumulation in New York City is one of the snowiest winters on record. 

Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge

The Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge is one of the major crossings of the East River. It connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Queens. The bridge is a five span cantilever truss, and is the only one of the four great East River Bridges that is not a suspension bridge.

Snowy Central Park

The first significant snowstorm hit the New York City area yesterday. Snow fell consistently across the five boroughs all day with accumulation of about three to six inches of snow across the city. Here are some images captured yesterday afternoon in Central Park.

Winter Scenes in Fort Tryon Park

Fort Tryon Park is one of Manhattan's most beautiful parks. It is a densely forested high ground at the northern tip of Manhattan and it was named after Sir William Tryon, the last British governor of colonial New York. The park was built by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., son of the architect of Central Park, in 1935, and gifted to the city of New York by John D. Rockefeller. The images of the park were made during last Saturday's snowfall.

LET IT SNOW

Last Sunday, the first snowfall of the season in the Northeast blanketed the city with one to two inches of the white stuff. I went to Central Park that morning and took photos at the spots that I usually visit.

LAST DAYS OF WINTER

Today is a milder day although some snow still remains on the ground. Above are two photos that I took at CENTRAL PARK, one near the Sheep Meadow, and the other at the Wollman skating rink. The Wollman Open Skating Competition takes place tomorrow, March 11th, so there will be no public skating.
