On New Year’s Eve, we got some unexpected snow.   Well, actually the snow was expected.  However, the time at which it arrived was very unexpected.  The weather forecasters said we’d get rain first and then some snow much later in the day, closer to the evening.   Instead, we got snow very early in the day and then rain, later in the evening.  Around 7 in the morning, everything looked sort of normal outside but an hour later, fat, flurry snowflakes fell and quickly stuck to the ground and anything it touched.  Very soon, everything was covered outside with snow.   You can see a snow-free version of the statue pictured in the background here.

I wish everyone all the very best for 2010.

Ed Note:  Ugh!  Trudging around in the snow and trying to get things done, I forgot that New Year’s Eve was Thursday — More importantly, Motion Thursday!   I LIKE to participate in this photo blogging theme day created by Mary of 2 Frames per Second.  So here’s my belated contribution.  The photo below has lots of motion going on — falling snow and a moving train getting ready to go back underground to the next subway station.  Although in motion, it moved very slowly.  Smart and cautious conductor.  

Stop by MOTION THURSDAY to see other motion-themed photos.  And when you can, come join the fun by posting your own motion photo.
