An arctic blast rolled across the country earlier this week, sending temperatures falling in southern states that normally are spared winter's wraith. Only Florida remains free of snow at the moment.

...NYC Fails at Blizzard Cleanup
Jan 2nd, 2011 at 8:00AM: Residents of New York City were promised that every street in the city would be plowed by Thursday morning. With several city streets still snowbound, that promise seems to have been false. Stranded without access to buried cars, many city buses, or taxis, the snow in New York has made it difficult for some commuters to even use the subway.
City sanitation commissioner John Doherty promised on ...SkyMall Monday: The Wovel
Dec 27th, 2010 at 1:00PM: Here on the East Coast, SkyMall Monday headquarters is being bombarded by a blizzard. Thankfully, our New York City location means that we don't have to do any of the shoveling. However, for millions of people who have to keep their driveways, walking paths, sidewalks and outdoor dance floors clean and snow-free, storms like this create hours of backbreaking labor. Shoveling snow can cause back ...Escape from New York: Five tips for leaving the city when flights fail you
Mar 8th, 2010 at 8:00AM: New York is no stranger to tourist and business travel. We get lot of guests here, and eventually, their trips must come to an end. When the weather turns harsh, this can be problematic. Spring may be close, but March and April snowstorms happen, and there are always spring showers to make getting off the ground at JFK or LaGuardia a pure living hell. Whether you're traveling in the northeast ...Photo of the Day (12.31.09)

More snow is expected for today in the Boston area. I've been trying to capture snow with as much impact as possible, but I haven't been happy with the results.
This picture from PDPhotography taken in Toronto really gave me a chill. Now I'm off to try to re-create the look. If I could just find a bus around here.
Here's hoping you have a wonderful new year. Why not make it a New Year's ...Photo of the Day 3.2.09
Mar 2nd, 2009 at 6:00PM: I've spent a large part of my day today checking in with friends of mine who live on the east coast of the US -- my HEAVENS, but you guys are getting dumped on with snow! It's for this reason I couldn't resist posting this great photograph of New York taxis lined up and buried in the white stuff, shared by Global Voyager in the Gadling Flickr pool. Hang in there, guys. Spring is just around the ...Buffalo, New York, attempts to attract visitors with its crummy weather
Mar 10th, 2008 at 8:40AM: Only, the group of weather enthusiasts creating Buffalo's interactive "Weather Experience Center" don't consider blizzards "crummy." Instead, they hope to capitalize on Buffalo's changeable weather by feature it and other dramatic phenomena such as tornadoes and hurricanes in a museum-quality waterfront building. One feature on the center's drawing board is a "blizzard room," where visitors can ...First possible blizzard since 1996 is gumming up Ohio
Mar 7th, 2008 at 6:30PM: Catherine mentioned in her latest Gadling Take 5 post that it's breaking up in Alaska where she lives. It's socking in in Ohio. This is the first blizzard warning we've had in central Ohio for years. Streets are a real mess--so is Port Columbus International Airport. I just heard an interview with someone who is waiting at the airport for a friend to arrive. The friend's airplane did arrive but ...Transportation in China is not for the faint of heart
Jan 31st, 2008 at 11:40AM: I was looking the the images and videos from blizzard-crippled China this morning and it made me remember my 2004 trip there. Especially the photos from Guangzhou, China's major southern city... I remember that train station! It was packed with thousands of migrant workers then, so I can't even imagine what it must look like now, after hundreds of thousands of people have been stranded. (See ...
