Snowpocalypse 2014 – Forest Park Southeast
January 11, 2014I weathered out the entirety of this past week’s winter storms in the comfort of my neighborhood, Forest Park Southeast (also known as The Grove). Getting behind the wheel from Sunday to Tuesday was about as appealing as a visit to Chesterfield. Hopefully this will be the worst of the season. The photos below demonstrate just how small of an area I found myself willing to brave during these (relatively) extreme conditions:

The next day road conditions had improved immensely on the neighborhood’s major trafficways, but driving remained unattractive.

A new neighborhood market is in the works (presumably the same City Greens Market run by St. Cronan’s Parish about a block away), to replace No Coast skateboard shop (recently moved to 4427 Morganford):

Stay warm and be safe!

Good series, good storytelling, the B&W’s work well. We in The Lou, though, really are weather weenies. I’ve been looking at posts from my City Daily Photo colleagues in Canada and Scandinavia. Last week’s weather would be routine to them.
Thanks, a compliment from you means a lot! We are admittedly pretty bad. It’s particularly apparent in the complaints about the city’s handling of the street plowing…
