Central Park – 2/13/24

Just when I was beginning to think we were going to have yet another snow-free winter, my birthday wish came true.

Central Park got 3.1 inches of snow.

Not as much as I had hoped, and they had predicted 5-8 inches, but still pretty enough to go to the park and play. 😊

It was a wet snow so snowmen activity was visible everywhere. And, the competition was so fierce that people were forced to step up their game.

The Fashionistas were also out, photographers in tow - showing off their best outfits.

In short, everyone was having a great time. I did wonder a bit about the heavy kid presence since it was supposed to be a school day.

But apparently, they tried to go remote and failed! Go NYC!!!

Happy kids. Unhappy adults.

I’m still hoping for an even bigger and prettier snow before the season ends, but the forecast does not look encouraging.

Still, you never know.

Here are some previous blogs of winter in NYC…

Central Park – Winter 2022 p3

NYC finally got some snow this week.

It had been 701 days since our last measurable snowfall, and that one was only ~ one inch so it was nothing to shout about.

The same thing happened this week – barely over an inch. So disappointing!

And our second round later in the week turned out to be merely flurries.

Not a lot of snowman potential there.

It’s too bad because it is clear that everyone is wishing for a fun snow day to go over to the park and play.

But, since it’s in the 20’s today, I thought that rather than freezing my butt off for mediocre photos I would post another set from our last really pretty snow in January 2022.

It was a beauty.

But I haven’t given up hope for this year yet. It is still January.

Too bad it’s due to go up to the 50’s next week.

Here are the previous photos from winter 2022…

Central Park 2022 - Part 2

It's snowing out!

It's a pretty snow sticking to the trees, so I am tempted to head over to Central Park.

But alas I have other plans today.

So I will have to settle for sharing some more pics from my last visit.

It was a spectacular day.

I spent most of my time photographing Belvedere Castle as it was looking particularly fairy tale that day.

It was recently renovated and you can now go inside and climb up to a balcony level.

And of course there's a gift shop.

I thought it was odd that they were selling stuffed versions of Barry the owl because she recently died. (Barry was a girl btw) She was a favorite of the bird watchers. I never actually saw her.
