New York City was hit with a blizzard this weekend (about a foot of snow, plus drifts from the wind), and many of the local photobloggers have different takes. Quite often you see different photographers' styles — as well as different habitats, so this kind of "event" is a rare opportunity to see the variety.
Here are a number of links... (Sit back with a mug of joe and some Sibelius, or maybe Schubert's "Winterreise" on)...
Hope you enjoy!

Thanks Frank! What a great list of links. This is the type of post that I love to see on this blog. We need more like this.

some really great shots there, i agree with you about seeing different people's styles by their take on an event. One of the great thing with photoblogs is I heard about the blizzard on the news, searched for NY photoblogs and immediatly had shots of what was happening, gotta love this web lark.

Thanks for sharing the links. Of course the snow wasn't limited to New York City, here is a link to a great picture Sam from DDOI took of one of the most famous buildings in Toronto (the CN Tower), and one of the most infamous (The Ontario College of Art and Design building - a game of Tetris on stilts)

Yeah, but everyone knows Toronto snow is too expensive to film, and NYC snow often stands in.

a little update: we had a snowball fight in central park today. talk about different takes... 6 or 7 of us took pictures of what might be the most photographed snowball fight in recent history.

I have Lower Manhattan snow photos coming out of my ears. So far I like the dark kind of gothic haze from blizzard day: http://testofwill.blogspot.com/2005/01/cold-harbor.html

Central Park in the Snow, Pt 2
Part Two of Central Park Snow Photos. No matter what the weather, this mosaic is always kept clear by fans of John Lennon. The Lake, frozen over. The park police had to keep yelling at people who walked out...

My photos are from later in the day, though we still had fun sledding. I would have loved to catch the snowball fight though! Looks like a lot of fun.
