Notes

Interesting and/or cool stuff I've come across from art, design, technology, photography, movies I've watched and liked and, occasionally, my thoughts.

The Great Blizzard of 1888.
From Wikipedia: "Snow fell from 25 to 147 cm in parts of New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, and sustained winds of more than 72 km/h produced snowdrifts in excess of 15 meters."
