Optimism During a Snow Storm–Revisited

In response to the Post Weekly photo challenge: Optimistic

Yesterday, when I posted Optimism During a Snow Storm, I was using photos from past storms. Then just today we got a blizzard here in Staten Island. I’ve been out all morning taking photos.

Lots of beer being sold. Beer helps people be optimistic, no doubt.

Ha, I texted my dad before the storm asking if he had enough beer. Love your post! Good luck with the ice and slush.

  I bought a beer, too, during the storm, and I hardly ever buy one.

  Dear yhealthy2000, winter arrived with a bang, but the storm only lasted one day, but so much snow that it’s hard to walk around, at least where I live.

  Tina, the snow storm was severe, but it only lasted one day, which was nice. It’s good to have at least one good snow storm in a season. Hope there aren’t many or any more.
