A women steps over downed tree limbs while walking her dog in Central Park in New York, Monday, Oct. 31, 2011. The group that manages Central Park estimates that the New York City park may lose 1,000 trees due to the unprecedented weekend snowstorm.
It was surreal to see the blizzard conditions that took over New York City and much of the East Coast on Saturday, as well as the resulting damage from the heavy snow on trees that had not yet lost their leaves. New York City is estimating it will lose 1,000 trees. Over 1 million customers throughout the Northeast are still without power, as crews continue to struggle to get them back on the grid. For thousands of children in school, the storm brought them their first snow day of the season.

pretty amazing photos, composition and content. I remember the no name Oct storm 20 years ago. Living in Maine , without power for close to a week and heating baby bottles on the outside grill ( not gas ).
I have to laugh at the first pic of the woman walking her dog..talk about an accident waiting to happen. She is walking the dog and talking on her cell phone even as she is absently stepping over a lot of debris. Was walking in the park REALLY that imperative?
Gotta love living in the northern U.S. where snow can occur 9 months of the year! In our case, nothing is uncommon or unprecedented when it comes to weather.
That is why people are coming down to North Carolina.
