The big apple is digging out of a big storm that brought a record-breaking 11 inches of snow to the heart of the city.

(SOUNDBITE) UNIDENTIFIED NEW YORKER, SAYING:

"I think it's really beautiful. I don't know. I mean, it's cold, but I think it's really beautiful."

With a morning temperature of just 4 degrees Fahrenheit - joggers were joined by skiers on Central park trails. And even though 30 mile per hour winds blew - plenty of others ventured outside.

(SOUNDBITE) UNIDENTIFIED NEW YORKER SAYING:

"I have to walk my dog. The show must go on and it's cold."

City workers were out in full force - clearing streets and sidewalks to help other New Yorkers get to their jobs.

(SOUNDBITE) UNIDENTIFIED NEW JERSEY RESIDENT, SAYING:

"I'm going to work right there and I'm freezing cold and I don't like it."

But some of the city's littlest residents seemed pretty thrilled.
