2011-2012 Nor'Easters - 1 down....? to go....

The first Nor'Easter on the 2011-2012 season has come and gone with little impact on our Broad Channel community other than an extremely high tide yesterday, much  cooler temperatures and a wind whipped heavy wet snowstorm that, try as it did, simply could not appreciably stick to most surfaces and is now simply a memory.

One interesting fact about this storm was the below "ALERT" issued by the city last night.

"ALERT issued 10/29/11 at 8:00 PM. No one should enter any City Park until further notice. Heavy snow and strong wind gusts, combined with full leaves still on trees, are damaging thousands of trees in parks throughout the City. This is creating an elevated and ongoing danger of falling branches and trees. City crews are working to address the damage and will continue throughout the storm."

To the best on my knowledge, this advisory to stay out of all city parks is still in effect at the time of this posting.
