I have a lot of friends who have recently left the east coast and moved west, looking for warmer weather. There have been quite a few frigid days while walking to work that I’m extremely jealous and want to throw my hands up and say it’s time to move to LA, but there is something about a snowstorm that I can’t leave behind. We don’t get a ton of huge storms in NYC but even the possibility of getting one is exciting to me. I LOVE snowstorms.
The feeling hasn’t changed much from when I was a kid and we had a snow day from school, is there anything better? I grew up in MD where there was a decent amount of snow but the city was never prepared, meaning we had tons of snow days even if there was only a dusting. During a blizzard senior year of high school we had an entire week off from school and it was maybe the best week ever.

Blizzard Juno didn’t quite reach the proportions that were expected but it was still something, about 8 inches. It was enough to clear out my office at 4pm yesterday and give us a snow day today. I never get to work from home and for me this is a treat!
So if you need me, Ollie and I will be tackling some assignments together from the UWS. Stay safe out there!
