My First Winter: Better Now

Talia_Headshot.jpg
Let me start by apologizing for my moment of weakness last Friday. Wow, what a downer! I’m all better now…for a couple of reasons.

First of all, it snowed -- more on that in a moment.

Second, I found my legwarmers! Phew, we can all relax now. Turns out they had been consumed by my closet drawers. Not quite the mystery of the century, but a weight off my shoulders (and onto my ankles) nonetheless.

However, my joy at reuniting with the two tubes of material was cut short when I realized I no longer needed them. The weather, it seemed, had turned. We started the week with the promise of a snowstorm, but it ended up being a non-event for New York City. Some snow fell, but it was pretty much gone the next day. By the end of the week temperatures could actually be described as pleasant. We were up to the 40s … and then 50s!

That is not legwarmer weather.

The temperatures are going back down this week, but only for a couple of days before they pop back to the 40s. I feel like we are running out of time. Is this it for winter? Only three snow events for New York City?

Some would say I got off easy. And assuming I’ve seen the worst, I can’t argue with that.
But I haven’t yet had my fill of snow. I love the stuff! I suppose what I should do is head north. Come to think of it, I am going to the Bronx tomorrow. That’s north. You think it has some snow left?

Yeah, me neither.

Dear Talia,
Please do not worry.
We have saved you some snow here in the Bronx.
