Finally! It's here! SNOW!!!Matt and I got such a kick out of the 11 o'clock news last night. The news had all the reporters out on the streets reporting that everything was ok. Of course it was ok, it hadn't started snowing yet!!! They were trying their best to create a story that just wasn't there. They had reporters standing in the middle of NYC roads trying their best to slip and show that it could ice. They interviewed drivers in their cars who basically said the roads were ok. There was NO story. It was really pathetic and we had to laugh because when we lived in Dallas everyone joked and said that northerners must get a kick out of the behavior and news reports that occur during Dallas' rare snow and sleet. I can go on record as saying northerners (or at least those from the tri-state area) cannot make fun of anyone for being a spaz during a threatened snow. Be it Dallas or NYC, the reporting was the same.
Alas, the snow and sleet arrived, so the news finally has a story to report--there is precipatation on the roads to slip on. We woke this morning to find a dusting of snow with sleet falling. The sleet remained for most of the morning but the big, pillowy snowflakes started coming down in the afternoon. I managed to get one shot in early this morning. Since Chloe and I are on the recovery side of our viruses, I didn't want to take her out to play. Besides, we started full-force potty training today so I didn't want her to have an accident while we were playing in the snow. She enjoyed looking out the glass door and the windows. Chloe wasn't too eager to go outside as the noise of the snow throwers and crews salting and scraping the roads scared her.
