I was able to work 1/2 day yesterday and I thought we might be spared by the next round of snow.  But by the afternoon, the conditions changed dramatically. Picture taken as I drove home (36th & First Avenue)

I watched the snow blow sideways- bay to beach- for hours. The winds were stronger last night than during the weekend storm.

AÂ transformer on the corner was sparking all night (the faint blue light) – thankfully, our power stayed on.
Shoveled out (again) this morning, and back to work!

The same for Springer’s Ice Cream in Stone Harbor 🙂
Piles of snow in the 29th Street beach parking lot.
Unfortunately, the beach felt the effects of the blizzard, too. This picture was taken today from the 22nd Street beach path looking north. There’s a steep drop off at the end of the path to the sand below.
 Electric service is slowly returning to Avalon and Stone Harbor- including our office as of this afternoon. My car substituted for a desk the past few days 🙂
On a brighter note- the snow covered boardwalk and beach are beautiful. 
96th Street beach parking lot this morning- sledding hills for the locals??
Ice covered wires throughout town.
Action News in Avalon- we don’t have cable, so I couldn’t watch their report!
