Central Park, NYC - We hesitate to post the horrible news of a New York City man who was hit by a large falling branch while walking through Central Park around 3:30pm this afternoon, due to a heavy accumulation of wet snow.  For any runners heading out to the park tonight, please proceed with caution and perhaps consider an alternative.  Here's the NY Times story http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/25/person-killed-by-falling-tree-in-central-park/#more-138981
