Snowblogging: December 2009 Blizzard

Did everyone make it? Have enough bread? I slipped and slided through Downtown this morning:

Outside the Convention Center

Still the sidewalk clearing gold star winner, Angelo’s on Atwells at about 11:00am, snow still falling, sidewalk clear.

Bradford News Exchange hard at work shoveling.

A (White) Christmas Carol, Atwells near the arch.

Where are these people going?

LaSalle Square, this is right before I fell flat on my back.

See crews at The Dunk and the Convention Center were busily clearing snow. However, they had not salted yet and I went right down on the sidewalk. Coffee everywhere, my hat fell off…

The Dunk

Sidewalks Downcity were pretty good considering. Here on the back side of Union Station Plaza the sidewalk were clear, and if they weren’t yet, crews were working on it.

There was this weird yellow slushy goo floating on the river, kind of made me gag.

Westins, GTECH, Marriott.

Union Station Plaza’s sidewalks were clear, the walkways around the Waterplace Residences were clear, but no city sidewalks in Waterplace are clear. Usually, this side of Waterplace is marked as closed for the winter.

Waterplace, BCBS.

Citizens Building.

Memorial Boulevard.

The pidgeons were not happy.

Kennedy Plaza, the buses were running.

Washington Street.

There would be free parking were it not for the fact that there is a parking ban.

Washington Street again.

Cuban Revolution is open.

So, the snow has not stopped yet, so I could give the benefit of the doubt. But seriously, when do we think this sidewalk will be clear, April? It is the Broadway Bridge by the way.

I just had to take a photo of this SUV because it is just such a CRAZY color.

Back to Dean Street, this ambulance almost ran me over later.

I took some video too, so there will likely be a snowvlog up later, stay tuned!
