snow overload

NYC got 19 MORE inches of snow dumped on its head again last night. As inconvenient and messy as the snow can be, I usually secretly enjoy it. It's terribly easy to romanticize drifting white flakes when you grew up without seeing them.

Today? Not so much. New York City schools got a snow day, my hubby's office is closed...and where am I you may wonder?

Insanely grumpy at work. Without even a hot toddy to see me through.
