After The Snowstorm: Remsen Street Completely Blocked By Downed Tree
While Brooklyn Heights suffered comparatively little damage following Hurricane Sandy, the weight of the wet, slushy snow from Wednesday’s snow took its toll.

Snowpacalypse Now in Brooklyn Heights
Ok, so the blizzard was a pretty gentle hippie as these things go – and it seems like many more people than usual are shoveling their sidewalks here in the neighborhood. We took a jaunt this morning, checked out the sledding action at the Hillside Dog Park and a few other street scenes.
Winter Wonders
There is nothing more pathetic than a dog that has walked through salt. It sits, lifts its paws and looks up in excruciating pain until its walker can get a handful of pure snow and rub the paws clean.
