BLIZZICANE!!!!!

It's 3am and I have done NOTHING all this Boxing Day except monitor and participate in this EPIC blizzard pummeling the NYC metro area. I've been like the Facebook and Twitter weatherman. Flakes began falling around 10:45am...got heavy in the afternoon...and STAYED heavy. I've shoveled 4 times...then went for a 12:30am stroll through town taking pictures. This storm has impressed me on SO many levels...and i'm VERY hard to impress. Duration, amount of snow, wind, last-minute-track shock value, lightning and thunder (though I didn't see or hear it), falling the day after Christmas. Just HISTORIC. I've loved every minute of it. And it's STILL snowing heavily. I measured 25" and 27" in 2 seemingly level and non-drifty spots. Just amazing. A wonderful day.
