Here Today, Gone Today

Winter Storm East Village Today came in like a lion and went out like a lamb.

Remember this picture of East 5th Street, from yesterday morning?

Yesterday morning.

This is what it looked like yesterday evening:

Yesterday evening.

Amazing, no?

Worse In The Snow

Even a winter wonderland of snow can't make everything in the East Village look better.

Take this chair, for instance, on St. Mark's Place. Arguably, it could be said to look worse in the snow:

Looking worse in the snow.

And this intersection at Avenue B and East 7th Street — honestly, I don't think it looks better or worse:

Neither better nor worse.

Winter Storm East Village Today works in mysterious ways.

Winter Wonderland of Snow

East Villagers woke up this morning to discover… it was snowing!

Behold:

East 5th Street, in the snow.

Sixth Street and Avenue B Community Garden, in the snow.

Avenue B and East 7th Street entrance to Tompkins Square Park, in the snow.

Water fountain, in the snow.

Some trees, in the snow.

Women's Christian Temperance Union fountain, in the snow.

Some more trees, in the snow.

A row of benches, in the snow.

Where the church lady preaches, in the snow.

During the past two officially-declared winter storms, Winter Storm Skylar and Winter Storm Toby, we got almost no snow. Today, with no official designation, we got all this!

I declare this: Winter Storm East Village Today!
