Snow Day!

No one loves a Snow Day more than Yours Truly. Unfortunately in NYC, we treat snow like its a zombiepocalypse. In fact, a regular snowstorm is sometimes referred to as a snowpocalypse round these parts. Its humorous how people can go completely nuts about snow. Granted, on certain years blizzards have truly immobilized the city. This wasn’t quite that experience though.

Snow for me is a beautiful fun thing that is inspirational – so I was quite excited to hear there was a blizzard on the way!

When the snow started to fall, I went out around midnight to play in the snow. It was a glorious time to kick around the powdery snow. Fall into the heaping mounds and create snow angels. I couldn’t wait to bring my puppy out to play in the morning.

At 5am this morning – I was awoken to this crazy screeching sounds outside my window. I thought the blizzard had brought down lamp posts, but I saw it was just huge plows dragging against concrete. I didn’t think much of it until I woke up to head out into the snow.

Looking out my window, all the snow was gone! Completely plowed and obliterated by the diligent cleanup crews.

With it left my ability to frolic with Toby, who loves snow. Gone was my real life ability to garner the descriptive inspiration from the snow.

I was bummed out!

What good is a Snow Day without the snow?
