There were two Japanese maybe in their 20s out “playing” in the snow here across the street. I never saw them before. it was hard to determine their gender.

Isn’t it great owing a condo in a new building?
Just peeked out my window, and the porter is making good progress on snowplowing the sidewalk 🙂
Park slope must be reaching snowflake critical mass
Bob….first time I had any snow blow into my skylight. I took the insulating sheet of plexiglass out last night so it would just come down and not stay up there constantly dripping. Seems to have stopped now. ext week I think I need to go back on the roof and secure the rigid insulation better. i suspect they came loose when I had the new roof put on.
No biggee.
Wake and bake. Lucky I bought some potatoes yesterday
lech – Piece in the Times this weekend about a guy who moved to Westchester for same reasons as you – lasted 2 years & moved back.
Also, lemma means [roughly] “possible solution” so trilemma works.
My street (Midwood II, in PLG) hasn’t been plowed and is impassible, with deep drifts. I’m glad I don’t have to go anywhere. Before I retired I’d make “heroic” efforts to get to work in Kew Gardens.Our local “Brighton line” trains, which run in an open cut, are usually out and it would take 2+ hours. Retirement is better!
There are a lot of posts on our local Lefferts list about what to do about water dripping through skylights. Newcomers don’t realize that this is inevitable, caused by snow blowing through skylight vents and melting on top of the stained glass. In the past I haven’t considered snow to be a blizzard if I don’t get some water dripping into my stairwell. I may have to re-think that though–no water this time, probably because of wind direction, and THIS certainly IS a blizzard, judging from the size of the drifts. OTOH I don’t think the record snowfall several years ago (2003 or 4?) was a real blizzard because the two feet of snowfall was flat and level, with no drifts.
Red line on Metro North is down, Green and Blue are on Sunday schedule. LIRR is down as well. Most commuters are staying home.
I can’t believe that 400 city buses are stranded. 400? That’s crazy!
One thing I have to be thankful for is that my mother-in-law happened to be staying with us for Christmas. Otherwise, she’d be couped up, with little food in the house. She no longer shops for food herself.
