So, the winter storm that is being called the "Blizzard of '06" is here in full force. Luckily, our friend Mitch decided to bail out last night by getting bumped to the jetBlue flight leaving yesterday. He would have been stuck if he tried to leave today as originally planned--all 3 major airports in the NYC-area are closed. We are officially snowed in. Another few inches in Central Park and this will be the biggest snow storm here since they started keeping records over 100 years ago! In Brooklyn where we live, there is already over a foot of snow, and talking to some of my friends in other places north of the city, they have over 2 feet!
We went to Mass this morning, and even Mass started late! On the way home we took some pictures, which you can see if you click here . The wind was gusting to up to 50 miles an hour at times, and it blew snow into our apartment through some chinks in the window frames (yay for old buildings with single pane windows in wooden frames). Our apartment is on the chilly side at the moment. We spent some time this morning putting towels over the places in the windows where the snow was blowing in, and cleaned up the few inches that had accumulated on the window sills in the living room. Yikes! If we had decided to watch the Winter Olympics then, it would have felt like we were actually there, experiencing the cold and the snow.
