Walking In A Winter Wonderland

There have been a few snow flurries over the past few weeks here in NYC, but today was the first real snowfall. A whole 3". WhoooHooo!!! It was barely cold enough to keep frozen, and by late afternoon, it was already turning slushy. But it was fun to walk around in it while it lasted.

Since I lived most of my life in California, the whole concept of seeing snow is still new and exciting to me. The best part of living in NYC is not having to deal with driving in it, or even shoveling it. I'm still hoping to experience a real blizzard one of these days. I am told it's a surreal experience being in the city with no traffic on the roads.

Here are a few photos from Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Yeah, we have real trees here. How about that.




I have seen little green aliens a number of times, but this is the first one I have seen making a snowman. The aliens with the pointy heads don't like being photographed. This one started throwing snowballs at me.
