Photo by myself on Carmine Street, in the West Village.
There was a blue-ish cast to the light, Sunday evening. As on most Sundays, the sidewalks in the Village were nearly empty of foot traffic.
It is cold, cold, cold here, with no end in sight. Er, did I mention...cold?
People are trudging about wrapped up in hats, scarves, gloves, and high boots. Under the clothing, long johns and/or other long underwear are a must. Every bit of skin needs protection from the wind. Yipes!!!

Street View, on the Upper East Side
Photo by myself on 85th Street and Third Avenue, on the Upper East Side.
A photo from the recent stash, before the recent snowstorm.
The street view along 85th Street is predictable - apartment buildings with stores on the bottom and residences above. Fire escapes and signs dangle from the building facades. The sidewalk is unusually clean.
Right now, we're covered with snow and it is completely freezing outside. The brisk wind makes it feel like -2(F) or -18(C). Ugh!

Homeless on the Subway Platform
Photo by myself, on the 34th Street subway platform in Midtown.
We're due for a heavy snowfall overnight. With every extreme change of weather, the homeless seek shelter, often in subway stations.
Above, a man stood with his belongings piled up in a shopping cart. At his feet was a sign that read 'Please keep your money and your food'.
I'm not quite sure how this man gets by. I think he was praying, and that this was not the first time I've seen him. An earlier photo here.

9:25 am, on the B Train
Photo by myself, on the morning commute.
Ah yes, back to the grind.
I know I've taken a lot of photos like this on the subway - people immersed in their thoughts or devices, or simply catching up on sleep.
There is the burst of sunlight when the subway emerges from the tunnel to cross the Manhattan Bridge. Reflections bounce off every shiny anti-graffiti surface.

Snow, on Sixth Avenue
Photo by myself, on Sixth Avenue in Midtown.
After the snow last week, the snowplows did not reach the streets by morning rush hour. People trudged around in boots and snow gear. At street corners, the snow quickly became a slushy grey mess.
Of course, now with the wacky weather, all the snow is melted. It is 50 degrees F this morning (10 deg. C)!

First Snow, in Times Square
Photo by myself at 42nd Street and Broadway, in Times Square.
The snow started coming down Thursday night, our first snow of the year. The forecast predicts the snow will continue all night long. We may get as much as 20 inches of the white stuff (!).
In Times Square, people kept looking up, as if it were still raining New Year's confetti. The air was very chilly and all the light snow was swirling around.
