This week’s barrage of snow and ice has made sneckdown spotting an international pastime. We may never look at slush piles the same way again.

Here are some examples of nature’s traffic-calming from the past few days. Also, a shout-out to sneckdown spotters in Chicago, Cambridge, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Carrboro, and Edmunton. And in case you missed it, here’s a vintage shot courtesy of @BikeGirlNYC.

By Brad Aaron | Jan 27, 2015

New York City was spared the brunt of winter storm Juno, and with streets in better shape than expected, there are already enough photos out there for our inaugural #sneckdown round-up of the season.
