Winter is Finally Here...with Snow!!

Shortly before 10, Gothamist got a tip that it was snowing in Manhattan in the Flatiron district. Just a few minutes ago, we witnessed the first snowfall of the Winter outside our offices in Greenpoint. The snow seemed to be coming from a swath of dark clouds above us. Those clouds have since been replaced by blue skies.

We tried to take a photo of the snow, but there was so little of it. The best photographic evidence we could come up with was the pictures above of snow streaking by and of snowflakes on a garbage can. Very exciting. Did you see the snow earlier this morning?

And if you forget what snow looks like, there are always those holiday snowflake stamps from the USPS.

Yes, as someone in Boulder, CO, I'd like to say I hate all New Yorkers. Especially my sister who keeps taunting me with her tales of "the Sun" and "sidewalks/roads not covered in ice and snow".

I got a pretty good picture of it, and then compared it with the brilliant sunshine that followed 10 minutes later.

Ben K. - I actually did need a tip... there's no windows in my office. :)

Speaking of global warming, I just finally saw An Inconvenient Truth. Truly terrifying. We're such a bunch of selfish assholes, we humans.

I, too, thought what Jen thought this morning. Although people keep reassuring me that this is an El Nino year. Either way, I'm still worried.

I already bought a whole mess of those snowflake stamps, and plane ticket to Switzerland.

A tip that it was snowing? What did you do? Look out the freakin' window!

Yanno, you can have all the snow back. We really don't want it anymore, never did in the first place. We have plenty! Here in Denver, we're used to the weather you are currently getting, as you are used to the weather we have. Take the snow back!
