A snowstorm is expected to dump 10 to 14 inches on the city Thursday, and the city has closed public schools. As always, Upper West Siders are taking some magnificent photos!

Dear UWSR, I’m wondering if we are allowed to share these pics because I love the one of kids sledding in CP by Changwha Koo and would love to share it on FB.

These are a great record of the day! Thank you.

Thanks for sharing all the photos. 50 years from now, these will be historic, especially as have fewer “snow days.” It would be great to display them for the public in an exhibit. I’m not a photographer, but I appreciate for seeing the work of others.

Snow & ice : difficult for some Senior Citizens; citizens w/disabilities ; etc.. NO one cared to check on this Senior Citizen. This isn’t the country which I shoulda been “kidnapped” top…[long story]. I’m in agony; inc. no longer have – pets, houseplants; a Camera. n.b. Brave Irene; Food for the Soul. Thanks fer beauteous photographs. UGH,sweeps of homeless citizens; inc. the blue law/Code Blue.Deport illegal aliens away from U.S.A., 2017. I’ve suffered from some of those folk from some of those 7 countries, Muslim preponderance. Wish that U.S.A. were as strict as Switzerland re citizenship. n.b. Danish poem @ snow. NO to minorities’ majority in U.S.A.. N.Y.P.L. & a Senior Center : surprise; closed 1 day re SNOW. [Spanish language imposed] N.Y.P.L. also was closed, another Day until 3 p.m. ; UGH.
