It snowed today, somewhat; plus, naming the new Astor Place artwork

OK, so it was probably more than somewhat, per the headline. (Not my fault — a robot wrote it.) Yes, it didn't seem like somewhat when you discovered that the L wasn't running... or the 14A appeared to be arriving every 180 minutes... or when you got doinked by a snowball going into the 7-Eleven on St. Mark's Place. (Joking!)

A few photos from readers... via Sarah...



...and John...



Now, I shall hog up the rest of the post with these...









...and the new art at Astor Place survived the night...



...and apparently there is a new name for it...

    Cheese doodle is good but isn't it more of a puff? "Food" for thought. O.K. I'm leaving now...

    Damn, you're right, Makeout.

    I'll see if I can stop the sponsorship contract!

    I love the view of Tompkins Sq Park in the first photo. It would be great to have that view out of my window.

    Suggested artwork name:

    "Please Clean Up After Your Dog"

    or

    If you continue to use high-falutin' words like "doinked", you may alienate those more down-to-earth readers who prefer "plonked".....just sayin'.
