Powder day in NYC...

Yes, it's true, we're on leave in the Big Apple, looking for its core. We've left the sanctity of the gondola cars for the subway cars. And rather than hiking up the ridge, we'll be hiking across the avenues. We'll be reading the ski reports with interest...and so you can imagine my chagrin that one of the first city sights encountered was heavy equipment clearing the snow that was thickly laid in recently...
