Because of the blizzard weather and snow predictions, New York cancelled schools, stores were closed, the subways were shut down and the streets were empty. This is a snapshot of downtown New York City at around 10 am. It’s weird to few cars on a road that is usually hopping. The weather was pretty bad but not like other places. All in all, it was a bust since the snow was actually sleet. That is no fun walking in sleet, like someone throwing ice at your face.
No traffic on Fifth Avenue and the Empire State Building is hidden!

I was wondering how many inches of snow people were going to end up with out that way. Originally they were saying 6 to 8 inches of snow for us here in northern Illinois this past Monday. We ended up with four and it all pretty much has melted off already. Weird weather considering that the Monday before that we were in our basement at eleven pm because of tornado warnings all around us.
It is funny to see the empty streets at 10 am. Bet your glad it wasnt like the storm last January…that was a bit much. We got hit a little harder here in New Jersey. Lots of shoveling.
