pure as the driven snow

I arrived from New Jersey today. I'm snowed in. Literally. The entrance to my building was covered in snow. It's been interesting to learn all the strange nuances that go with living in a city that is unprepared to handle such severe weather conditions. The trains I normally take in and out of Manhattan were all shut down- luckily there are other options near by, but they take longer and drop off far away. Nevertheless, I love NYC and I am happy to be here to have this experience. I will just need to find some snow boots and a hat.
