We had the first snow storm of the season passing though New York City yesterday. Even though we had very early snow in October, it was a fluke. Compared with last winter, we are having mild one so far.
Last year at this time, we were so tired of the snow, but this year people are even enjoying the white stuff coming down from sky.
It started after midnight, we went to bed with no sight of it, then wake up with white winter wonder land.
It was Saturday morning, time to go to the farmers' market. "Are they there ?" questioning myself on the way to Union Square. But as I getting close to the square I was starting to see people with vegetables in their bags.
In the winter time, selection we can get at the market is a poor choice. But I still go there almost every Saturday even just for Fuji Apples, Peruvian Purple Potatoes, and my beloved Watermelon Radishes. Some people go there to get Fresh Caught Fish from Long Island or Organic Chickens and Eggs. Some may go there for Breads and Sweets. And you still can find jar goods like home-made preserves and pickles.
Snow continued to falling down till around noon. Much of the produce was covered with snow. It was a very cold morning and the extra chill from snow coverage on the tables made every thing almost like reaching things in a freezer.
This is the only hot spot.
Shoppers didn't mind stopping and chatting and tasting samples.
I guess shoppers are not the only one who wanted to warm up!
And have some snacks too.
