A winter's day, in a deep and dark December...

...gazing from my window to the streets below on a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow...

Morningside Park

First real snow of the year today. I woke up and walked around for 10 minutes before I noticed the sheets of big fat flakes falling diagonally outside my window. Got the umbrella out and walked across town to campus. The flakes were so big that they sounded like brushes being drawn across a snare drum on my umbrella.

Shovelers shoveled perpendicular to walkers, stopping frequently.
