I thought I saw something familiar in a "stock footage" shot of a local news story focusing on un-plowed streets in Brooklyn two days after the 'Blizzard of 2010" here in New York City, and by taking a photo of the far end of my block, compared and matched some of the buildings. I thought that was kind of neat, although a trifle odd since the story was set in Brooklyn and I'm in, like The Bronx.

Then I poked around ABC-7's video section looking to link to the piece for another forum, and discovered that my own block was indeed the subject of a separate story about streets still unplowed two days after the "Blizzard of 2010" in the Bronx (we got about 20 inches, or about 50cm). As Eek the Cat has been known to say, "Hey, I can see my house from here".

Way to go, my block. Our snowdrifts were so big they got a dump-truck plow stuck (on camera) bad enough to need a front-end loader coming from the opposite end of the block to free it :D
