35 MPH Wind Gusts & 39°F? Spring Sure Ain’t Sprung
“What happened? Yesterday was so beautiful,” noted my neighbor this morning walking together along Montague Street, just before a wind gust came from behind and blew poor Mrs. Hinkle skyward.

Andrew Cuomo, including $33 billion to repair housing & infrastructure and $9 billion to protect transit systems, the power network and sewage treatment facilities from future storms.

Montague Street Walloped By Quick & Dirty Snowstorm
Who’d have believed that Hurricane Sandy would turn out to be the kinder, gentler storm—in Brooklyn Heights, mind you. Wednesday night’s sopping slushy snowstorm took down trees and major branches not only on Remsen, but all along Montague Street, from Hicks to Clinton streets.
