The Historic Uber Apocalyptic Megastorm Blizzard That Wasn't

Last week, New York was supposed to get clobbered by a snowstorm of epic proportions. After everyone freaked out and cleared the supermarkets of all things edible, we got about 4 inches. While it wasn't exactly a winter wonderland, it did make for some snow-globe-like photos. Here are a few favorites from around the Financial District.

New York City Snowstorm - A walk around Greenwich Village

Last week, New York City got hit with 8 to 12 inches of snow, wind chills that dipped into the single digits and the kind of blizzard-like conditions that meteorologists fantasize about all year long.

I took the long way home through Greenwich Village to get some shots of the winter wonderland before it was ruined by rock salt and taxis and black, cruddy snow. I almost got frostbite in my shutter-pushing finger. But I also got these photos of a pretty magical night in New York. So it may have been worth losing the digit. I'm left handed anyway.  

All photos shot with the Fuji X100s. Click on any photos to see them in lightbox mode.

I like how the swirl of footprints leads your eye back around the photo to the silhouettes in the background. Wish I could say that was intentional. Or that I even noticed the footprints while I was there.

This is probably my favorite image from the night. Special thanks to the tiny pedestrian for giving the photo a subject. It's amazing how plain the other shots from this spot look without that little silhouette.
