New York (CNN) -- Demonstrators encamped in a Lower Manhattan park faced New York's first snow storm of the season Saturday without the benefit of propane tanks and generators that they had been using to cook food and keep warm.
"It's pretty dirty, and we're all freezing cold," said Alec Courtney, who says he runs a shoe-shine stand at the city's Zuccotti Park to make money. "We just try to huddle together."
Courtney, a resident of the New York City borough of Brooklyn, says he's been camping at the park for the last 20 days and plans to stay there -- despite the inclement weather -- to support "the cause."

But wear a clothespin on your nose.
I was wondering what they would do if there was a complete power outage in Manhattan from the storm.Just think of what no McD’s warm coffee or nothing open would mean....
Sorry my auto correct kicked in again.....
I have a wedding to go to tonight. Otherwise - I would. next time.
So, who in that ragtag crowd wears shoes that they get shined? Certainly most don't even own dress leather shoes and if they do, they aren't wearing them there.
Or... Is he, perhaps, hoping some Wall Street employees stroll by and pay him for shining their shoes while he demonstrates against the evils of Wall Street? If so, seems he is living off of the merits of capitalism...hmmmm?
Running dog capitalist swine!!

As I recall from my college days in the early 60’s, plain white keds take on a grimy patina that shines in the latter stages. Perhaps that could be buffed up a little
lol
I watch from time to time if something big is going down.. was watching this AM to see how the snow storm would effect them.
This is what I ended up seeing.. lol and they swear they are not smoking dope.. lol

Idiots!
it is a curious phenomenon isn’t it?
It’s like they’re afraid to go home before “the moment” happens.
They want bragging rights when they return home to mom’s basement?
That should clear the streets of the vermin. Of course they may hole up in the subways tunnels with the other rats.
‘We’re all freezing cold.’ That’s why we live in houses, boy.
Bad weather is just God’s way of keeping OWSer bums clean.

Hope it is a wet cold snow in every occupy tent city.
Down with Big Shoe-Shine!
I liked the “complete outaget” version. It seemed like it almost ought to mean something.
