We haven't even turned our heat on

New York is blanketed in snow. At most the snow came to around four inches. Oh dear God. This city is ridiculous. It shuts down. I worked 7am-3pm on the day of the "big storm." When I got home at about 3:30 Sean was home early from his 9-5 job because it snowed, so they closed. What? Working a door all day, I saw so much of this: People walk out ready to hit the town and do some shopping on vacation, see the snow, "Oh my God!" and then turn around and go back inside.

This is the scene from my sister's back door in Maine.


18 inches. The snow is taller than her dog, making it hard to let the dog out.
