Prospect Park Snowicane Wander

There was another huge snow storm in New York again today, making this the snowiest February of all time with 36.9 inches (that's 93.7cm for those of you who abandoned the British empire and joined the 19th century) and the 4th snowiest winter of all time. 53cm fell in central park; that's a lot of snow for a city with no where to push it.
Again, work was cancelled, my YMCA closed earily, and the city generally ground to a halt. So I went on another Prospect Park Wander. I love Prospect Park, and there's something so fun about when a city the size of New York shuts down and all the kids between the ages of 1-27 go sledding in the park.

I didn't get out till the afternoon, after the snow had stopped and the sun had come out. I wandered across 8th street toward the park.

More garbage trucks ploughing snow. They actually have chains on their rear tires - I thought only the most hardcore northern backwater hillbillies still did that, but apparently New York likes potholes.

 

   

   

 Again I entered the park at 9th street. This time I headed straight up Long Meadow.
