So today was the hundred year blizzard - Snowpocaplypse. The city was shut down. Schools were closed long before the first flake fell, my YMCA closed shop, and my work locked the doors and told me to stay home. I'm not going to complain about that, so with a beautiful Snow Day, I wandered out to Prospect Park via Park Slope -- somehow I made it back alive.

Why do New Yorkers try to use umbrellas in the snow. I'll never understand this. This one is obviously very effective.
Apparently there are no snowplows in Brooklyn, so they hook blades to the garbage trucks.
Brownstones on 9th St.
Lafayette looks a bit chilly at the entrance to Prospect Park.
The general wholesomeness of New York comes out in the parks when it snows. Kids making a snowman.

Out of the park and onto 5th St
I'm glad this guy found a use for his ATV for at least 1 day of the year. What do you need this for in Park Slope?
