I Spy NYC – Director’s Cut

I now know why movies come with a director’s cut. I was going through some of my older and unpublished New York City photos and found a few from Manhattan and Brooklyn that I just couldn’t send to the backup drive before sharing. I hope you enjoy.

West Village Snow Photos

Just a couple shots from lunch. Taken in the West Village of New York City.

If Only New York City Could Dig Out Airplanes

This pretty much sums it up. Weather.com says the snow is supposed to stop some time late tonight or tomorrow morning. 12-18 inches of the stuff piling up. I already received a call from American Airlines saying my flight at 6 tonight is cancelled. So this post goes out to all those with cancelled flights!

Grab some chili, a beer, and lets hope our rescheduled flights get out on time!

NYC Snowstorm Reeks Havoc on Stretch Hummer Limos

“It’s an utter disgrace,” said Tommy Perlman, a New Yorker whose stretch Hummer limo was forced to park 8 inches from the curb at Rolf’s Bar and Restaurant on Sunday.  “And I don’t mean ‘utter’ like a cow’s udders. I mean it’s like a big disgrace.  A big, utter disgrace,” Perlman continued.

Snow was clearly visible on Perlman’s man Uggs as he slammed the limo’s door and opened a cooler full of Miller High Life.

New York Colder than Antarctica (12.22.08)

I wish I was in Antarctica, where it’s warmer today. I’m not kidding. I checked the temperature. At a frigid 15 degrees (feels like -4), New York City is 20 degrees colder than Antarctica, which at McMerdo station is supposed to be 35 today. You could hop on a cruise ship and find yourself amid soaring glaciers and ice flows and you’d still be warmer than in Times Square.

The coldest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica was -129F and the coldest temp recorded in New York was -52F in 1979. I can’t really believe that but it’s in a USA Today article here.
