I know that there are many of you reading this blog right now thinking I am a fool - you are yelling at the computer or shaking your head in disbelief. But I cannot help it. I love snow. There is just something about it that makes me so happy. Maybe it reminds me of my days as a kid building snowmen, sliding down the big steep hills or building snow angels. I am sure that if I had to drive in the white fluff, my opinions would change rather drastically.
The only negativity about snow, when you live in Manhattan, is the day after when the snow has been pushed up against the sidewalk ledges and you have to cross a major street (my mind turns to 42nd) leaving you to step in a huge, yucky puddle of slush.
It finally began to feel like Christmas on Tuesday when we received our first few flakes. My coworkers know (and do not quite understand) my love of snow and my eager anticipation for the first snow. All of Tuesday morning, I was getting teased that it was snowing, but when I looked out the window there was nothing but an air conditioner. At approximately 12:30, I had to go see our CFO and as I walked out I heard “the boys” (as I’ve affectionately named my coworkers) encouraging me to look out the window. Sure enough big, FAT flakes were falling down from the sky. At that time Husband called me to make sure I wasn’t missing our first snowfall. As strange as it may seem to many of you, seeing the snow made my day. Thankfully, the snow started back up that night so I could take a short stroll through the beautiful white fluff.
After all of that, you can imagine my excitement to learn that we are expecting huge snowstorms in the next couple of days. Starting tomorrow morning, NYC will hopefully be covered in a blanket of white snow.
