Ok, so Maggie and I have made it through the first blizzard and we seem to have made it out ok. I wanted to post some before and after pictures to give you an idea of how much snow we got. I don’t have stats for Jersey City, but I saw where Central Park got 13 inches!

This is the courtyard of our building about an hour after the snow started falling.		This is the courtyard of our building this morning…those ledges are about 2 ft high.
These are the windows of our apartment about an hour after the snow started falling.		These are the windows of our apartment this morning…they are about 2-3 ft high.
This is the sidewalk outside the front entrance of our building about an hour into things.		This is a shot of the same sidewalk during the storm. The snow was coming down hard and the flash really reflected off of it
This is a sidewalk on the other side of the building this morning.		And across the street are some cars parked on the side of the street…covered in snow.
The snowstorm at night, really raging.		Maggie and Sam standing in the snow on our walk during the storm.
This is a small portion of Liberty State Park after the storm with Downtown NYC in the background.		Another shot of Liberty State Park after the storm. The brown concrete walls around the bench are 2 ft tall.
This is a picture of the Hudson River. If you look closely you can see that it’s beginning to freeze.		Another picture of the Hudson freezing. This area is more out toward where the real current is and it’s still starting to turn to ice.

I know I know, crazy boy from the South all excited about a little snow storm. Well, I think it’s absolutely amazing how quickly it can all change. Kinda like a Texas thunderstorm. These people up here have no idea what sort of power that can be. I guess we all get our own special types of weather.
