Winter From My Window

This is the first true snow of the season, and it's virtually a blizzard.  We had gained over a foot since noon, much earlier than expected, and there's still another 8 hours or so to go after that. 

A state of emergency has been issued for New York City.   Buses and outside trains suspended.  Road travel disallowed except for emergency vehicles.  The governor suggested stores and Broadway shows be closed down so workers could get home before public transit suspensions went fully into effect.  

None of this affecting me, really.  I am home and comfortable, and have no need to venture.

Here are some pics I took from my bedroom window.

 

blizzard a-comin'?

Tomorrow (starting tonight, actually) we are predicted to have near blizzard conditions. My mom, who cannot walk or stand, and needs an aide to transfer her, is worried that the aide may not be able to make it in. So, I told her to tell the aide to stay home, and I will go there tonight, and sleep over.

I went over to the Greek Specialty store, Hellas, and picked up a few goodies for the storm. Got some good Feta cheese, assorted Greek olives, stuffed grape leaves, a big piece of marbled Halvah, and these cookies (I don't know their name) that my mom loves. I forgot to get the pita bread, and will have to pick that up before I go there. What better excuse than a blizzard to munch out on some fun goodies.
