A few things:
- New York seems to cope much better than does London in times of snow. The ploughs have been out in full force, as have the mini snow-blowers, which are well cool
- Don't wear cross-country skis in metropolitan areas (especially megalopoles). They're entirely unnecessary, and you look silly
- This picture was taken outside our apartment. The ice has steadily been streaming down the east side of the Hudson for the past 36 hours, with no sign of stopping.
