Nor'easter Photos

Not the most picturesque of snowstorms, and a huge disappointment when compared to all the blizzard hype, but I just couldn't let a nice Nor'easter go by without giving it at least a little coverage on the blog. Yesterday's storm will be remembered as one of the sleetiest (is that a word?) storms I can remember. We must've had at least a few hours here in Forest Hills of nonstop sleet. The result must be especially aggravating to car owners! It sure makes it tough to just get across the street!
