Believe it or not, that night (the 26th) I had to go in to work. I work in Times Square and while I knew it wouldn't be so bad (they send in plows quick there) the walk to the train station from Jonathan's house was AWFUL. But very comical, because as soon as I stepped foot outside, my scarf flew off and I could hear Jonathan laughing from the doorway, LOL.
This was the scene back in Queens...
Trying to show how deep the snow was at that point.
Even Starbucks closed shop early. I personally, would love a hot cup of coffee during a blizzard ;-)
I backtracked to get this photo because it reminded me of some eerie scene in a movie where the whole town is empty and you have that one thing blowing hard in the wind.
Two other crazy souls walking in the distance.
At this point, the wind had stopped momentarily and it was a real moment I wanted to capture.
This photo does not capture the frenzy of walking home.
....but this one does.
No joke, that is how hard the wind was blowing. I was not moving the phone at all!
I didn't leave the house until the next afternoon. If I had it my way, I probably wouldn't have left at all but once I was out there, I got to see how, dare I say, nice everything looked with a coat of snow.
The sidewalk and street were completely buried.
My destination for this trek outdoors? My parents' house. That street was definitely more shoveled than back in Forest Hills.
In the midst of this snowstorm, our process of moving out of the apartment my sister and I shared for 3 and a half years was delayed by a few days. That story and picture to come...but the snow definitely paralyzed the city for a bit! And now I hear there is 6 inches coming our way again this weekend?! I'll believe it when I see it.
Sidenote: this post is dated December 31st because that is when I began the entry and saved it in my drafts. When I say this weekend there is a snowstorm coming, I mean the week of January 3rd.
