Rain & Snow
I was out and about early today. Oh what fun there is to have in Jersey City at 7 AM. We’re getting hammered by some nasty precipitation this Winter, and today, a Thursday, the forecast was for a wintery mix all day of snow, rain, ice, sleet. Supposed to start with rain, get worse, last for 36 hours or something. The picture here is of the rain turning into snow, doesn’t quite do the transformation justice. You have to look at it closely to see the white slivers amongst the drop. Erie & First, the ivy covering the red brick, nice corner.
And, only a few minutes later, or maybe is this a half hour or so…later… oh, who can remember… the point is snow flakes. Big, wet snow flakes. Ready made slush on the pavement when this stuff makes landfall. Gobs of snow!
But the same time, in NYC, still rain. Cold rain, but not yet freezing rain. Different weather patterns for the island as opposed to our isthmus. I love minor variations and nothing is more minor or more various than weather. Sometimes weather is like the sales tax, things change when you cross state lines. Temperature is supposed to drop all day. We can contemplate the wetness of the snow; the chill isn’t something new.
