There certainly was a lot of snow. Having been away from the stuff for so long in San Francisco, I think about half this much would have looked like a blizzard to us, but the official tally was 13 inches in Central Park by 7am this morning, and no matter how you look at it—that is a lot of snow!
Deb and I went to see Sideways today (great film!) and snapped some pictures on the way. We had actually tried to see the movie last night about 10:30pm, but the theatres were closing early!
In any event: (1) Deb in front of one of the many (at least one per block) piles of snow on 8th Avenue; (2) the bulldozers they had clearing the streets; (3) the sidewalks re-discovered under the snow down in the Fashion District; and (4) cabbies driving as crazily as they always do—imposing mountains of snow or not. I actually was too slow on the draw (cold hands) to get pictures of the dump trucks taking the snow out to wherever it is they dump it in the river.
Interesting to see the city cleaning up the mess. They seem to have it down!

Heard it cost NYC a million dollars an inch to clear the snow!!

No wonder I am paying over $300 a month in CITY taxes!

I think you might have an Ellsworth family record for city income taxes, maybe by a factor of five or ten. As a non-resident working in Lansing, I paid a half-percent, always on less than $60K/year. Taxation without representation. But as I read, “If our forefathers thought taxation without representation was bad, they should have seen it WITH representation.”
Your pictures were clear, informative, and enjoyable. Thank you for posting them.
