Here are some snows days in the sixth boro from previous seasons. Yesterday’s saw crews on duty doing what they always do. Cielo di Milano was outbound, as was Peney, a practically new ship, emptied of her Mejillones safety product.
09:50 My thermometer registered 23 degrees F, and a squall was passing over Manhattan but not here.
10:15 In less than a half hour, the snow squall has intensified on the KVK.
10:15 Portside watch reports on distance already away from the salt dock, where product was trucking out the gate.
10:18 That’s Jonathan C at starboard and Margaret on the bow.
10:19
10:20 JRT heads westbound after an assist in the harbor.
11:42 See the juice carrier, Orange Blossom 2, Jonathan C, IMTT, and WTC1?
11:42 Here’s what the unaltered version of the photo above looks like. I enhanced color in the version above.

11:46 All were cautious but moving.
All photos by Will Van Dorp. More tomorrow from the same Saturday morning snow squall.
