The cold front moved in as promised and at its worst for us was minus 12 Celsius. Awful when you're not used to it - purple numb noses and frozen fingers.
Feathery snow flakes floated down Broadway, the street gutters formed ice and the lakes in Central park were fringed with ice blankets. Very tempting for my kids to crack!
Loved Central Park it felt so familiar! probably because it has been featured as the backdrop in so many movies. In winter it has an eerie quiet barren feel to it so I will have to come back to see what its like in the green summer.
