In NYC (as in London, I'm sure) you have to appreciate the beauty of snow immediately because it quickly turns hideous. Of course, if you have a taste for the hideous, as I do, you can appreciate at leisure. Thanks for the comments, Jennifer and Rosalind.

I didn't have chance to look at these photos properly before Xmas, so it's been a treat waiting for me! I was certainly intrigued to see that the snow does actually stop New York, even if only for a matter of hours or so. We've just had two unusually early bouts of snow which caused the south of England to grind to an unseasonal halt - we're always convinced that this doesn't happen elsewhere, but it seems it does. However, in the UK (at least in the south) I doubt that a snow plough exists and we never put on snow tyres, so that no doubt is part of the problem. Enjoyed the travel through the snow's progress over the years in NY, from lovely whiteness adorning advertising images to filthy polluted hard-packed slush ... Fascinating!
