Hi friends, welcome back! I believe they predicted NYC was in for a cold, snowy winter and so far they’ve been right! This past weekend winter storm Fern rolled through, and I was very happy we had nowhere to be. The meteorologists have hyped up prior snowstorms that didn’t come to fruition, so I was relieved they didn’t let me down this time! They said 6-12 inches, and Central Park recorded 11.4. Living up on the forty-fifth floor always feels like living in a snow globe. By the time we woke up the storm had started.
An hour later when the snow was coming down almost 2 inches an hour.
Around noon I layered up and headed out to see what the storm was about. It was too cold and windy to venture to Central Park, so I met up with my friend to find some pretty sights around our neighborhood. This was outside my apartment. Don’t think the stroller could’ve made it through.
We met up on Wall Street to start our adventure.
The Stock Exchange.
Trinity Church.
The Charging Bull.
Stone Street was our favorite spot of the walk. My fingers were starting to freeze from all my pictures.
Delmonico’s was our last stop before we called it a day.
These are from the following morning, the calm and cold after the storm.
Across the East River I noticed that it started freezing…
Violet and I made it out for a walk the following day and I was amazed by how clear a lot of the sidewalks were. It was hard to cross the streets at some intersections, but for 24 hours after a major snow storm I was impressed.
As quickly as the storm came, by Monday it seemed back to normal in the city. Next up will be my promised Central Park snow day 🙂
