I would tend to agree with mini panicbean. The weather does seem milder during and after a snow. You know the old saying "too cold to snow," that what was yesterday was like.

I am also looking forward to getting some pictures.

Yea but snow in the city also comes with ending up ankle deep in slush while trying to cross the street and digging out is no fun for us adults.

Since I posted those early photos the white started rolling in and the snow may really be coming;

Maybe two three times a year now but if you go up to around the Bear Mountain Bridge it tends to have ice flows much more often.

It seemed that when I was younger the river would ice over for weeks and my Dad told me he once walked to New Jersey when he was young.

I don't think I've seen the river turn to solid ice more than once and that was many years ago.

I did walk across a frozen Mississippi once while visiting Minnesota.

at Baton Rouge.
