Notes

A running collection of things I’ve found interesting, well-made, or worth spreading—mostly from art, design, tech, photography, and film, with the occasional thought or two of my own.

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."
