Summer Snowfall on Roosevelt Island

As I was walking down Main Street this evening past Blackwell House, I suddenly thought I was transported months forward to a winter wonderland when I spotted a field of snow with a snowman and children throwing snowballs at each other.

As I regained my sense of time I learned that the snow was a result of special effects for an eye glass cleaner commercial being shot on Roosevelt Island. I guess we have to wait a couple of more months for ski season.
