Bipolar Weather

Yesterday - 60 degrees, lovely and springy.  Today - snow, with temperatures tumbling.  So it goes this year, apparently.  The local news reports made a point of noting that this is yet another instance this year when temperatures went from well above average and delightfully mild, to regular winter with actual snow accumulation within a 24 hour period.

Climate change, they say, results in wild swings and temperature fluctuations.  Although the current Presidential Administration and its Secretary of the EPA would deny it.  Grr.  Truly, never have I been driven to treasonous thoughts, until recently.

Anyway, some images from the day....

The snows began to fall late during the morning rush, as I began my morning commute.  Snow began to coat the tree limbs.

Snow accumulated on cars and other less-warm surfaces.  The roadways and sidewalks were largely spared.

Roof of the poolhouse at 23rd Street.

More snow covered trees.

The grassy bank where the crocuses and daffodils usually emerge. I spotted foliage the day before, and one lone spot of yellow - a daffodil, likely.  Now covered in white.

The other side of the pedestrian walkway, further north, of that same grassy bank.

Snowy covered rooftops, looking north toward the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, and out toward Brooklyn.

There was someone out sunning out on one of those chairs the day before - jacketed, but nonetheless outside, enjoying the warmth, 24 hours prior.
