| Description |
A freak snowstorm - and a very wet one at that - making a premature appearance in New York City even before Halloween. This photo, taken from the 7 train nearing Queensboro Plaza, was taken just as the raindrops began to turn into big snowflakes. I used to live in New York City, spending four winters here. Three of them were snowless. So this is a very nasty surprise for me, especially now that I am visiting from balmy California for the first time in years. At least I got some great photo opportunities out of this! This is only the third ever October snowstorm in New York City since the 1860s, and the first ever recorded snowfall of one inch in Central Park in October; in fact, three inches were recorded for this snowstorm at Central Park. Also as this snowstorm is so early, temperatures are not that cold yet, translating to bigger, wetter snowflakes. |
