  • Snow Day

    The blizzard may have been a bust, but there was still snow to play in…

  • Superstorm Dud

    Well, in NYC anyway. We apparently got lucky and the main part of the storm missed the city. We got 8 inches tops. A very ordinary storm here…

  • NYC Shuts Down

    The city that never sleeps is shutting down the subways at 11PM due to the blizzard.

    Historic.

  • Live Blogging a Blizzard

    Not really, I have better things to do. But we did take Coby, our puppy, out for a walk and he was having a crazy good time. We’ll see how he deals with 2 feet of snow instead of 3 inches…

    We have stocked up on food, snacks, desserts and beer. Well, not really. There’s a deli across the street that will be open the whole time. If I need bacon/egg/cheese on a roll at any time, I’m covered.

    Have I mentioned that I love Brooklyn?…

  • It’s Officially a Blizzard

    CitiBike is closing for the first time (I think)…

  • Potentially Historic Blizzard

    Oh my, from the National Weather Service for the NYC area, including Brooklyn:

    ...CRIPPLING AND POTENTIALLY HISTORIC BLIZZARD TO IMPACT THE AREA 
FROM LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY... 
    * ACCUMULATIONS...SNOW ACCUMULATION OF 20 TO 30 INCHES...WITH 
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. SNOWFALL RATES OF 2 TO 4 
INCHES PER HOUR EXPECTED LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING.
    I’m thinking the girls will get a snow day (or two)…

    Twitter is having a field day. I saw most of Brady’s press conference. I’ve always been a Brady fan, but I didn’t believe him either…

    And the NFL hasn’t contacted him yet? The story broke three days ago. He’s not hard to find. Does the NFL even want to know the truth? (rhetorical).

  • For all Patriot Fans

  • Shake it Off

    This is already viral, so you’ve probably seen it. An officer on dashboard cam jamming out to Taylor Swift…

  • Drone NYC Video

    This is a pretty nice aerial view of NYC via drone. It gets all over the city, not just Manhattan, so if you aren’t from New York you may not recognize everything.

    This is the behind the scenes video, which is also cool:
