Despite the Weather Channel's attempt to stir up viewership by naming this (and other) winter storms, the storm that hit us this weekend was - for most people in New York City, at least - largely a non-event. Even just in the time I've lived here, there have been much bigger snowstorms. Unfortunately, my attempt to subvert Weather Channel propaganda by suggesting that the event should be renamed 'Slushpalooza 2013' didn't catch on. Still, after a mild winter, it was the first significant fall of snow we've seen, and made for a few good photo opportunities.
