Beautiful, Beautiful photos of the snow and Central Park.  I feel liked Ive had an up close and personal tour! Thanks so much for posting.   :-*

Meryl:
New York plus snow plus John equals sheer poetry!  8)

Mikaela:
I've always thought NYC is quite magical, but these photos makes it seem doubly so. Beautiful snowy impressions with a quiet blue mood all of their own. I almost expect to see Michelle Pfeiffer and Daniel Day-Lewis in period costume walking by, lost in mutual reverie.

Thank you for posting these. :)

(And incidentally, my hometown has also had snow today and looks about the same right now, - everything covered in pristine white. But we haven't got anything to match Central Park, of course)

these are so great!  Eerily, however, the views from central park look SOOOO familiar.  And I don't know why.  I was last in that area about 28 years ago and I am sure I don't remember from THEN!
