We are having the most peculiar weather this year.....but so is almost everyone else -- like Weaver of Grass in England with horribly strong winds.
Gloomy.....sort of.....
Very English to talk a lot about the weather.  To back up.....Sunday was sunny (as per the last post....). Monday was......well......peculiar. We were told to expect a 'wintry mix' which basically seems to mean snow and sleet and rain. We went to Long Island anyway.

As you leave Penn Station there is all sorts of industrial stuff....

with little bits of snow on sidings.

Queens (on the whole) is better seen through a thick miasma of something.....here Forest Hills....

Biking was hazardous

22nd Street. Haven't had a picture of a truck for ages
Gloomy.....sort of.....
or a picture of people (on 22nd St) who look as if they have escaped from Brooklyn. (Yes, I had turned the camera by mistake to something called 'Effects' --'Effects' just makes things look slightly out of focus.
Gloomy.....sort of.....
like this nice little bird.

Wednesday was astoundingly, unnaturally warm. Walked on the High Line with Paz.
Gloomy.....sort of.....
There was almost no one about

except a pair of young people.  (Bill Stankus, this is for you who wanted black and white!)
Thursday is windy. Power off in parts of Long Island. 
Next?.......
