At Home in The Snow

It's no secret that anybody who knows me well knows that I hate snow.

Life in New York has returned back to "normal" as the snow started to melt (I'm writing this post on a Thursday evening), and the clean up process of this massive snow storm is well underway. The blizzard of 2016 has left more than a meter of snow in some the New York, and Washington DC areas, as a result, many neighborhood especially here in the metropolitan areas have experienced nothing but chaos. This past Monday, many of the schools in our neighborhood had to close for the day.

The weather completely took over the airwaves, and it was fascinating to watch the news and witness how deep of an effect the storm lest in its aftermath. It was also an exciting, and fun times, especially for kids, as they took their sledge boards, and participate in a sometimes grueling snowball fights. As for me, I stayed indoor, because quite frankly, I wanted to stay safe.

During the storm, I took a few snapshots of the epic storm, and even shot a video from the kitchen door. Wherever you are (I hope it's a sunny part of the world), I hope you sit back, and enjoy "the perfect storm".

After a few efforts to open the kitchen door, we were finally able to feed our feathered friends in the garden (a picture of them from our living room window, can be found on my Instagram feed).
During the winter, we put out extra birds seed — twice a day — and love to watch them line up on the fence, and eventually eat their "din din."

We definitely struggled with our snow shovel when it came time to clear our front door, and walkway. In New York City, homeowners are responsible for clearing their walkways.

Look who's cleaning up her sidewalk after the blizzard of 2016?

A consistent sound to correspond with the Blizzard of 2016.

Night falls from the window of our living room. It certainly was a bit scary to experience mother nature at one of its most fearsome moment.
