It finally snowed

Helicopter Blows Deer Safe

While most of the rest of the country is getting its fair share of snow, NYC has been eerily snow-free. Until yesterday! We finally had some 'accumulation' and had snow on the ground for several hours, before it turned to grey slush.

So pretty when its all white and fresh, so gross once it is grey, stained with dog pee, and being sprayed as slush from passing vehicles. I came out of the subway and stood on the corner to cross the road and the puddle of melted snow was about 3 feet around and inches deep. Me, and a whole bunch of other commuters sans boots, had to step into the freezing water and slop home though the snow with wet feet. Lesson learned. Wellingtons on today!
