Two feet of snow might not seem like a lot to those of you reading this from Boston, Vermont or Antarctica, but for New Yorkers it’s a record — 26.8 inches to be specific, second highest snowfall in recorded history. A bustling metropolis brought to its knees? Not precisely — more like brought to its senses. So much joy on so many faces! Yes, it’ll turn to frustration when the work week returns and the wondrous powder turns to sooty slush. But for one magical Sunday, it was Christmas and Narnia rolled up in one.
So we had to go out in it. Who wouldn’t? Yes, we froze a little. But there’s nothing like a bracing topless snowball fight in Columbus Circle to stimulate the senses and jumpstart a frost-rimed heart.
There were snowmen, too — both pocket-sized and jumbo:
And the simple joy of being out in nature, unencumbered by clothes.
We are children of the summer it is true, and we long for her return. But a once-in-a-century winter day like this? There’s nothing better. Just think of the story it will make! In the winter of ’16, child, the snow was so deep, and your grandmas strolled naked in it…
Happy 2016, everyone.

My grandmother always told me to “keep your head cold and your feet warm”.
Keep healthy my lovelies!
Beautiful a little nippy out it seems…
I live in the south and we had no snow. However, I would run naked through the snow to join you lovely Snow Bunnies. You made my day seeing how much fun you had.

Taking advantage of top freedom despite a blizzard in NYC
My “torso” question is about the “jumbo snowman’s” torso; what technique did you use to get it up ontop of the base ball. That looks to be an impossibly heavy ball of snow to lift. Did you use a ramp? Was the snow so sticky that you could build it in place? Either way, well done!
We didn’t build it! We just found it there!
Did it join the OCTPFA Society?
Yeah, but we have a feeling it won’t be around too much in the summer.
High fives all around. That looks so much fun! Thank you the invitation. I’m sorry I couldn’t make it. I was afraid I would get stuck in New York and I had to be home on Monday morning. You’re doing good work.
I’m sure that many, especially the guys, look mostly at your breasts. THIS time I have to declare that I MOSTLY enjoyed your absolutely joyous faces!
I DID look for you on the weather station, but did not see you. 😦
Keep doing things that put joyful faces on each of you!!!
Truly remarkable! I’m honored to have my birthday celebrated in such a breathtaking way. May your next outing be in Maui.
You were risking frost bite in some tender places, but it looks like you brought some light-hearted fun to snow bound New Yorkers.
Well, it’s nice to see you doing fine even with those weather conditions. Keep having fun, take care and be safe!
And here I was worrying about you all getting stuck in the blizzard – I should have known better! 🙂
PS That beautiful red hair is fiery enough to melt the deepest snow… 🙂
OK. You totally had me with the wheelchair. And with your utter guts at going out in that blizzard aftermath. I thought you were just politically aware protestors/celebrators, but you are actually cold weather pioneers!
Congratulations and keep on trucking!
Looks like everyone had a lot of fun.
hats off, no pun intended to you ladies. No man would ever attempt this…you know, shrinkage and all that…..
It’s great that you are having fun.
We hide when there is that much snow and I’m from Canada!

I absolutely do not believe my eyes, but … Congratulations! Wow.
I’m not sure if this is bravery or madness but I’m very glad that you did it. Hope to see more of you all soon!
This New York Times piece is amazing. It’s not a treatise on topfreedom, but it’s a U.S. mainstream media outlet writing a factual, responsible, calm story on topfreedom with uncensored images. It’s a landmark to me. I have never seen a mainstream media outlet run uncensored images before. You are doing amazing work. Congratulations and thank you. I wonder if other outlets like the Washington Post will follow suit? Reporting on a legal activity without censorship or judgment. It would be refreshing, no?

This NYT story that Chelsea reported IS great! Is this the story you mentioned last summer being done by a NYT reporter? Maybe the next time they’ll put you in the print edition! Congratulations!! You really snowed them!! 😉
Yep, that’s the one!
enjoy youre freedom! It feels good to see your pictures but it makes me sad that these freedom is gone in Germany… I remember seeing nearly all girls topless on the beaches during my youth, my female classmates went home alone (well somtimes..) and there was very little sexual herasment. The future looks brighter in USA now, we going to be the Afghanistan…
Beautiful Topless Women With Big Smiles! Everyone Should Get To Enjoy Life As Much!!!
Never one to overlook the opportunity for a pun, when I saw “Bustling metropolis…” I could barely restrain myself…
