Winter Storm Juno may have been somewhat less dramatic than meteorologists predicted, but it sure made for some gorgeous photos. We’ve posted about 50 of them below! Thanks so much to everyone who sent them in.

It started with long lines at the grocery stores…

Once the snow started on Monday, it was hard to see very far, but what you could see was beautiful:

The four photos below in Central Park are by Cindy Stern:

Several people told us the snowflakes looked like stars:

At night, there was a break in the snow, and some people went sledding or took the dogs for a walk.

Tuesday morning, Upper West Siders awoke to a winter wonderland, nice and snowy but not nearly as dramatic as expected.

The shutdown of the city is ridiculous. If you look out your window you’ll see this was your basic 5 – 10″ snow, if that. Tried several newsstands — no NYTimes. And of course was not delivered to my building. This is nuts. Fairway looked like an earthquake had hit it, but that’s probably because of panic shopping (gotta keep up one’s blood sugar level, you know). Nobody likes old farts who say “when I was a boy”, but in this instance that’s a valid (invidious) comparison. As for the mayor, who predicted the end of the world, maybe not his fault — or else he’s relying on the same “advisor” who told him to stick tight with the good reverend. Reminds me of the Boston lockdown after the marathon bombing — our leaders care most of all about safety: their own.

Hang in there Rodger.
I am with you 99%.
The 1 percent is not being able to buy the NY Times.
Better you don’t hand that radical left wing rag your money anyway.
And your comment on the ex fat man the Wrong Rev. hate racist machine Sharpton is right on the mark.

Mr. Lodger,

“Nobody likes old farts who say “when I was a boy””

Unlike you, Mr. Lodger, I will not presume to speak for ‘everyone’. But I can tell you that I, along with many people I know, /do/ enjoy hearing accounts of times past from our elders. What we certainly do /not/ enjoy are obnoxious individuals who insult their elders with ugly and vulgar names. I can only wonder how you will look back upon such impudence as you have exhibited here when one day, should you live long enough, you will find yourself “old”.

As far as the rest of your post, I am inclined to agree with what Joe Rappaport wrote in his reply. (Though I certainly share your contempt for the Mayor, his groveling to the hustler Al “incite & libel” Sharpton being only one of many reasons.)

Have a nice day.

The New York Times is available online. Nobody but an old fart goes out to buy the paper.

Perhaps but wasn’t it a hardship for you not to be able to go for a pour over with red bull?

I think your criticism is misplaced. New York City didn’t get hit hard this time, but that’s because weather prediction isn’t perfect. Long Island and New England are getting everything they expected, and it made sense for city and state elected officials here to plan for the worse, since it does happen. There were grave warnings before Hurricane Sandy, and they turned out to be justified. Better safe than sorry, a cliche, actually is a good guide.

Exactly, Joe. I wonder if this person would complain if we got walloped? I’m guessing yes.

This is an overreaction to 2010, when Bloomberg and Company were utterly unprepared.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go buy bread and milk in advance of the next Snowpocalypse.

How can you know the dog was “unimpressed” by the snowman?

Canines often have very different ways of showing appreciation than we humans.

Great photos! What filter did Bruce Barnard use for his 105th and Amsterdam photo? That looks so cool.
