Powdered

Finally! 53 days into winter, New York is experiencing a good powdering. It doesn't look like it's going to last (the temperature is going up tomorrow, bringing rain), so I won't be able to do everything on my list of five favorite things to do when it snows. But it's okay. It was just nice to be able to walk outside, even if the snow is coming down really hard and the snowflakes are, much like a kiss from Angelina Jolie, big, wet and nasty. The great thing about New York when it snows is how quiet it is. Cars drive slower, there are fewer people out on the street, and all that snow smooths out the rough, echo-y edges of the sidewalks and buildings.
