first snow

If you have the right clothing, how can you not love winter?

I bundle up.  Long shearling with big shawl collar. Wool hat. Gloves with actual fingers. Ugg boots. I grab my camera and head for Central Park.

Today is the first snowfall of the season, and the city is not ready for it.  Buses up and down Lexington have stopped and the passengers have been asked to get off.  The roads have not been plowed and the bus drivers are saying it's too slippery to drive.


Traffic is at a standstill.  It's faster to be on foot.



The temperature is low, but there is no wind. It feels good.  I almost wish I'd worn a lighter coat.

Just a few feet from honking horns and creeping taxis is the pristine park.  

A winter wonderland, just steps a way from the chaos of the city.






This truly is a glorious place to live. Especially when it snows.
