Welp, it looks like Brooklyn Heights and its surrounding area is about to experience a RECORD SETTING blizzard this week. Back in the 80s, when your humble publisher hosted an under-rated morning show in the middle of nowhere (now sorta somewhere), our weather dude would say “WE’RE GOING TO GET CLOCKED THIS WEEKEND BY SNOW.” Yes indeed, this seems to be the case.

YouTube user Hugo Viera has posted a video, shot today (4/12), of a longboard ride he took from the Lower East Side through Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO. It’s like Karl Junkersfeld on wheels(errrr sumthin’).

A view looking north along the Promenade, with the Brooklyn Bridge in the background. (Another photo after the jump.) Looking out from the Promenade, with Pier 3 in the foreground and the lower Manhattan skyline beyond.
The day after #Hercules saw fun and whimsy in Brooklyn Heights. Kids took to Hillside Dog Park (which magically turns into a sledding hill on snow days) while others made whimsical snowmen (photo here by Mrs. Fink). Actually that looks like Jabba the Snowman, eh?
What did you do today?
Well, that just happened. Some call it #Hercules, we call it snow. Post your photos, gripes and other comments below!
