When an icy wind sweeps through the streets of New York in the early days of December and plumes of white steam rise from the manhole covers in the ground, it usually doesn’t take long before cold, moist air from the Great Lakes brings the first snow of the season to the city. Suddenly there are snowflakes dancing through the streets, and in the blink of an eye this great city turns into a winter wonderland. Time seems to stand still and New York business seems to hold its breath just for a moment. Anticipation takes hold on people’s faces. As snow settles on the Big Apple like glittering fairy dust, the city starts to resemble the famous New York snow domes tourists love to take home as souvenirs.
