This is another one for the record books, in more ways than one. Reports say this storm was the eighth-largest snowfall in city history, the snowiest January on record and the sixth-snowiest winter in city history.
Winter wonderland at Fulton Park.
Cart Before Horse: A driver needs a helping hand after getting stuck in snow on Bainbridge Street, between Malcolm X Blvd. and Stuyvesant Ave. A plow truck waits right behind the vehicle.
The Walking Dead - Bed Stuy Snow Edition: Morning straphangers stagger towards the A train subway station, choosing to walk the street of Stuyvesant Avenue instead of dodging unshoveled sidewalks.
Main streets were plowed, although some contained a coating of snow and ice. Secondary streets like MacDonough Street were untouched as of this morning.
That first photo is so beautiful! Looks like a postcard.
It was indeed very beautiful at 6 am, but I was happy to hear it was going to be a snow day so I didn’t actually have to go outside and join the walking dead staggering to the train
Great photos! By the time I made it outside it wasn’t as pretty. I want to applaud you all for doing such a wonderful job on covering Bed-Stuy so consistent and effectively. I can tell that you have a vested interest in the community. I write a bi-monthly column (Change for a Dollar) on gentrification in Bed-Stuy over at Patch. I’d love to hear what you guys think, and if you’re ever free to chat over coffee that would be awesome too.

@SAH: Please do not post unrelated links in the comments section of this blog. This is a post about whiteness blanketing the neighborhood while gentrification is about…oh wait.
In any case, your links are only tangentially related at best, so stop looking to get easy click throughs.
@ Changeling: Wow, that was not my intention. I apologize if that’s how it came across or if it was interpreted that way. I don’t see the option to delete it. Please do me the favor and delete it along with this one. Thanks.
