(Just In Case You Haven't Seen Enough) Snow Pictures!

This was the view outside our window this morning:



So of course I had to bundle up, go outside, and take pictures of the neighborhood!
Riverside Drive...


And in the other direction...


Riverside Park...


Heading up towards Broadway. Look how buried the cars are. People were busily shoveling and blowing the snow off the sidewalk.


Broadway, looking up towards the entrance to Columbia University.


In the middle of Broadway looking downtown...


The Presbyterian church down the street...


The book store across the street...


I thought it would be fun to walk around the Columbia campus and take pictures with all the snow. This is the library.


Looks like someone threw away a lot of perfectly good snow!


Boy, does this guy look chilly!


The chapel...I've still never been inside, although Jeremy tells me I need to see it.


I hope no one needs to use this any time soon...


Back on the west side of Broadway, looking back towards the Columbia entrance...


And back on our street. Looks like some progress is being made on the sidewalks, but the street itself is still pretty deep! Where are the snowplows?





I tried to take a short cut across the street here. The holes in the snow in the foreground below the front of that car are my foot prints. After sinking in up to my knees, I decided to try to find a better route!


Back on our side of the street looking down towards Riverside...


I scooped some snow into bins for Joseph and Josiah to play with at the table while the older boys did their school work. It was a hit!

No, Josiah! Don't EAT the snow!!


Joseph built a "snow dinosaur" that he was very proud of!








Ah, here's the snowplow! Unfortunately he had to sit there for over an hour...


Because this bus-type thing on the right got stuck in the middle of the street. That flatbed truck full of sand (on the left) finally came and rescued it after several men spent a LONG time shoveling in vain in front of the bus.


Jordan and Josiah stood in the window watching the drama unfold, lol. Anything involving trucks (and a snowplow is a particularly cool truck) draws the boys in like a magnet!


It's still snowing hard and is supposed to continue to do so for the rest of today and all day tomorrow. The boys are SO ready to get out and sled in it! Hopefully over the weekend we'll be able to do just that!
