Snowmaking in NYC

[marcski]

I have an afternoon meeting downtown today. As I was on the FDR first I heard them (yes I had the window down) and then saw the cloud. In a park right between the drive and the east river, there were about 4 guns blasting.

Those are some sweet shots with a great backdrop...the hills of SF add a lot that NYC doesn't have. But, I think you'll see some impressive pics from this location too. Brooklyn over the river or some tall buildings and part of the city skyline if the photog is on the river side.
