Path doesnt provide realtime train arrivals, just the expected schedule. And the news and weather actually come from from an outside service which is easier to deliver to Path since they have little more than 10% of the amount of stations that NYC MTA has. Just so you knows...

Too funny. I am curious to know what was going through the mind of the person who wrote that? They must have just saw Black swan, maybe it bored them.

Dear Shiney Lee,
It was fairly safe, although I wasn't certain when while it was happening. The really surreal part was when I exited, which is too shakey and vomit inducing to show. The ground was coated, solidly coated in ice from the hail landing and adhering icily to itself.

Dear Anonymous, that was the Franklin Av stop which I'm sure you remember is where the 2,3,4,5 (and since the 90's Franklin Av Shuttle) connect.

Thanks for commenting.

Dear BB: What subway stop is this? I was surprised when your voice said something about Eastern Parkway. I used to live on E.P. Thank you for posting this film of the storm.

Hey thanks Laurel! I love you guys over at the Nostrand Blog! I've had plenty of good posts that others got out before me too, law of averages I guess!

Great post, UBB! We actually discovered this place a couple of months back and have just been delinquent in posted about it. Had the same great overall impression. We had the lamb and chicken halal dinner. The owners name is Alpha, hence the name of the spot. We will definitely post about your post on our blog (nostrandpark.com)!

Many years ago I used to manage the Albemarle Theater. Besides the Loews Kings which was a treasure, there was also the Rialto near Erasmus HS and the RKO Kenmore on Church Ave. Great memories. It would be fantastic for the Kings to be restored - what a beautiful place it was.

Thank you. This was fascinating! What an interesting vantage point from which to (safely?) photograph the hail storm -- the gradual build-up of large hail stones on the stairs, the many lightning flashes (!), people in the subway on cell-phones, likely calling home, or whomever . . . etc.

Unfortunately my sound is down and I could only see the video, without your comments if there was audio to your video.
