Some love snow. Others hate it. Me, I like a good snow coating every now and again. Of course, I liked the white stuff even better when I was a regular off-road rider and owned a mountain bike.
But I like the snow best of all when it's a light dusting. Of course, it doesn't make for the best of riding conditions, especially on city streets: It and rain or light drizzle make for more slippery streets than any other kind of weather. Still, I think much in this city--and in nature--is at its prettiest when they're dusted with light snowflakes. They almost seem like confections.
Perhaps it's not quite as visible in these photos as it was to me when I rode past Isham Park, at the very northern end of Manhattan. I had only my cell phone to capture those images. Oh, well.
And, like any other kind of confection, that light dusting of snow didn't last long.
