A snowstorm on the second day of spring brought out some creative Upper West Siders, including the person who crafted this fearsome croc next to Riverside Park, photographed by Adrianna Pratt.
Mildred Alpern took several shots below of Upper West Siders fighting through the flakes.

Looks more like an ice dragon, than a crocodile
Agreed def a dragon! Hope this is the end of the snow for the season now🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing what it was like to be outside in the snow.
Spring in New York City is my favorite season!
The whimsy of the snow croc is so wonderful!
I love the person who did this, sight unseen. You brightened my day.
There is hope for humanity yet.
The snow ice dragon croc is fantastic.
Poodle-walker, put some socks on, girl!
Believe me, you don’t want to get the bronchitis I just had.
West Side kiddos should have mittens on in these cold days. Toddlers in strollers should have a blanket covering their little legs.
Great ice dragon!
