02/2006 White Out

New York City just experienced its record-breaking blizzard. 26.9 inches of snowfall in Central Park, falling 2-5” per hour, broke the highest snowfall record in 1947. Our car parked out on the street was literally buried in snow. Up until now, the day after the snow storm, it’s still all over the news.

It feels good knowing I was here when it happened, that I experienced a record-breaker.

Feels better knowing we were comfortable and warm in our apartment, knowing we didn’t have to shovel snow out of the sidewalk because the building management is responsible for that, and knowing that right after the snow falls, the world transforms into such a pretty white winter wonderland.

Nino and I decided to play in the snow while it was still soft, because once it freezes, it becomes a big chunk of ice. Don’t even think of throwing a snowball like that, it can definitely knock somebody out.

Siguro ito na ang huling hirit ng snow sa buhay ko, since we’re planning to move to CA soon. I do appreciate it. What a New York send off.
