A Microclimate in Brooklyn

I've seen how the sausage gets made, and it's with white tarp and a truckload of ice. Winter's Tale--adapted from the novel and eventually starring Will Smith, Russell Crowe, Colin Farrell and Jennifer Connelly--has been filming a ways down the street. It's December, and there's fake snow in New York, where the temperature is currently hovering around freezing. There's also at least one Model T hanging out in the neighborhood. Watch your step, Brooklyn. It's slippery outside.

The slushy scene on Hicks Street last night

Just so you know, your barn door's open.

A-ha!

If you look closely, you can see the white tarp covering the sidewalk in the background.

In case you were wondering what Brooklyn Heights looks like without street lights

During a break in the action... earlier in the night, the building across the street was fully illuminated.
