We got about 8" of snow at our weekend house on Saturday. The city got about three inches, and it melted fast.

No pictures of the city. Here is a shot out of my window on Sunday morning.



I rode Citi Bike 1.4 miles from home to the post office and from the post office to my subway stop. It was cold and windy. Sixth avenue doesn't have a bike lane until 9th St, and the left lane (where cyclists usually ride in NYC) isn't sufficiently wide for a bike and a car, so I "took" the lane. Unfortunately, motorists tried to take it back from me by nearly sideswiping me.
