Do you have today off work? Must be nice. After you finish worshiping at your shrine to George Washington, you'll have the whole day ahead of you to play in the snow, because surely you're not sick of frolicking yet. It's actually quite beautiful out there if you've got no particular place to be, and have accepted the fact that "spring" is just a children's fairy tale that will never, ever come true.

You couldn't ask for a better morning if you've been eager to try out those new ice skates you got for Christmas, or if you're feeling litigious and willing to take a spill outside a fancy building. Seriously, it's hip-breakin' weather out there—the sidewalks are covered by treacherous sheets of ice, and it's raining, and why even bother anymore? we're going to get through this trifling little ice storm, because we're hardcore New Yorkers with ice in our veins. Pro tip: If you've got good boots, you're better off walking in the crusty snow at the edge of the sidewalk, so you can actually get some traction. Just take it slow, and send your best ice storm photos to photos@gothamist.com or tag them "gothamist" on Flickr. more ›
