The price you pay for trying to be fashionable following a Thunder Blizzard

Of all the wonderful photos I've seen from this week's snowstorm, this is my favorite. So much to take in... It's the work of Lindsay Wengler via her website — Single Linds Reflex. (Reprinted with permission!)

Snow bunnies and angels and photographers

So much snow, so many photos... thanks to everyone who sent some along...

Snow Bunny on Avenue B and Third Street via EV Grieve reader David...

Snow angels and other angels via Leesy...

From Patrick...who noted earlier this afternoon, "Everyone was stopping to take pictures of everything." Like Patrick. And me!

No Thunder Blizzard coverage is complete without photos of co-eds in their underwear or snowball fights

And you can find more photos and tomfoolery at NYULocal ... snow day photos here...

...monumental snowball fight shots here...

Updated: Oh... these are making the rounds... The shots were sent to other folks as well... Gothamist had the underwear photos earlier. Meanwhile, I think there's something going on in Egypt...

Now that we're done looking at pretty pictures of snow...

... we're hearing about what hell it was getting around via the MTA...

The long wait for an L this morning at 14th Street... pic via Nat Esten, who said "what a mess."

We also heard from people waiting for buses... that never came, even though the Avenues were clear...

A Thunder Blizzard Wonderland

Tompkins Square Park is a post Thunder Blizzard Wonderland. (And I promise to stop using Thunder Blizzard soon enough!)

As these photos from EV Grieve reader Melissa Kipp show...

'Wow'

That was the reaction of a man taking in Tompkins Square Park this morning after the Great Thunder Blizzard of 2011.

And if you want some more 'wow,' then check out Bob Arihood's photos from 2 a.m. in Tompkins Square Park. (Nadie Se Conoce)

Thunder Blizzard damage: Downed awning at Kafana

EV Grieve reader AC notes that the awning at Serbian eatery Kafana (try the Gibanica!) on Avenue C came down during last night's storm...

The Great Thunder Blizzard of 2011

As you may have noticed last night, it snowed. Again. A lot. It's actually nice where I am in Bermuda, so... (That joke never gets old!)

Team coverage starts now! (And more photos to come...)

From James Maher... (More here at James Maher Photography)

10th Street near Second Avenue from Laura F.

A few minutes later, a tree falls (no one was injured)

Some more shots of the downed tree via SoulSeller:

East Fifth street via Alex...

From EV Grieve contributor Shawn Chittle.... Notice three things from these late-night shots: You can't see the Williamsburg Bridge per usual; the streets haven't been plowed yet; the delivery guy comes through!
