As noted here I took a drive down to NYC on Saturday to deliver a relative to Staten Island (she really had to be there for Sunday morning). Forecast claimed it would start snowing in NYC around 3pm, well, the forecast was wrong as this image is the entrance to the Verezzano bridge leaving Brooklyn well before 3pm and as evidence shows the snow is thick, heavy, on the ground and the bridge nearly unpassable. Kudos to the NY transit authority for closing the (covered) lower level and leaving the upper level opened during a heavy blizzard! Way to go guys, how many cars did you end up towing from there? For the record, it took nearly two hours to cross the bridge thanks to almost every non-four-wheel-drive getting stuck in deep snow going uphill.
Picture taken through a drity windshield with my camera phone in crummy lighting. But I liked the sign -- it seemed oddly appropriate.

I just love northern culture. Stuff like this just cracks me up. Most of the time I'm surrounded by rednecks.

Way to go :-)
Wondered if you'd run into the snow, but then thought 'you going to be used to it living out in the sticks'.
They reckon whats left over is going to hit us next week. Watch the uK grind to a halt as soon as it gets over an inch :-)
