Scenes from a blizzard.

Last weekend’s bomb cyclone dumped 20 inches of snow on New York, apparently the ninth highest total on record. These are some views from Brooklyn — more photos to come.

Looking down a residential street in the middle of a blizzard. Everything is under a blanket of snow. At both curbs, white mounds of parked cars; one car to the left has its wipers sticking up, like antennae. A row of low apartments to the left. Sidewalk trees with ghostly white branches. Two dark stripes of wide tire tracks recede to a vague horizon, where a streetlight dimly shines. The sky a wall of white.

White expanse of snow. A plowed road curving from the foreground at lower right away to the left. In the middle distance a strip of spiked fencing, and tall posts holding up the giant horizontal sign for the Red Hook Terminal. A three-floor warehouse behind it. Four-headed streetlights, power lines, and a flagpole standing against a blank white sky. A distant shipping crane like a ghost in the mist.

A person in a dark hooded coat walks their black dog in the middle of a snow-covered street. No other traffic. Snow-covered parked cars like silent white mounds. Streetlights, white-branched trees. Traffic signals in the hazy distance. Blank winter sky.

A two-way pedestrian signal in yellow casing, mounted on the side of a metal pole. The screen visible to us has the red “Don’t Walk” hand illuminated. A thick layer of snow on top of the casing and on the side of the pole. Frost partly obscuring the screen. In the background: snow-covered parked cars, trees like white lace against low dark buildings, a street and sidewalks under a blanket of snow. Featureless winter sky. Everything slightly blue in the early morning light.

I have been wanting to play with these weld bends and bending my handwriting. There is an old neon tradition of "block out tubing" that was actually spliced in so that there would be no paint to chip.

I like the idea of using darker colors as the "block out" glass for all the connections. Its certainly an extra challenge, but I am liking the look.

I am gonna be bending neon at Brooklyn Glass's Hot Glass Cold Beer on Saturday. I get most of my neon tubing from there (they import from Italy) and I think this would be nice in a nice warm white and non coated cobalt blue. It took me 1, 3/4 hours to make "CHOOSE" out of scraps I had (whoops, got the whites mixed up 😊 )

My mom used to preach this to me when I was in high school. It changed my life... but I still sometimes feel like I can delude myself into feeling happy about a crappy situation.

CHOOSE lit on the paint drip table and my hand there for scale and an e26 lightbulb in the background. The 12mm "CHOOSE" is next to an unlit 15mm tube.

"CHOOSE YOUR ATTITUDE" written several times in brown gel pen in a planner sketchbook

CHOOSE upside down and backwards fitting on the pattern template with a screen between glass and paper. The glass is all white despite the white and blue colors when it is on
