Snow Day!

Who else bounds out of bed like it's Christmas morning, grinning ear to ear, when they wake up to surprise snow? *anyone?* I'll pretend that I heard some mumbled uh-huhs, which is great, because I do too! Here's what New Yorkers woke up to this morning...

Looks miserable, you're probably thinking. Yes, the idea of commuting or trudging through all that, slipping and sliding the whole way, does sound like a nightmare. But my inner 5-year-old was having none of it. Excitedly pulling my sturdy Sorel boots out from under-the-bed retirement, I bundled up with every hat/scarf/mitten I own, and headed out to make the 20-minute walk to work.

Boots, are you ready?

The start of my sojourn.

 Of course, what is usually a 20-minute journey took almost 45, but I blame that on stopping to take a photo every five minutes, and not the snow. Those Sorel folks really know how to make a boot; not one slip the whole way! Naturally, I looked like a complete idiot (or tourist) the whole time. As everyone else trudged along, heads down and shoulders hunched to the wind; there I was turning into the wind, a face full of snow, camera snapping away. I'm glad no one I know was around to witness it; weird looks from passers-byes were involved.

Oh, hi there. Don't mind me.

No seat for you!

Also from the market today: Snow!

 

Buddha-Elephant remains stoic against the elements.

Sadly, according to the weather forecast it's all supposed to melt tomorrow, so I plan on making the most of it today. Lunch break snow angels, anyone? Let's go traipse around some more before it all turns to slushy snow turds.

Happy weekend everyone!
