Snow Alert

Last night we had a “snow alert”. It sounds a bit silly, but they take their snow very seriously here. I guess it is like L.A., where a few drops of rain inspire “storm watch”.

It did actually snow! The first snow was on Saturday night. After a very late dinner in the Meatpacking District, we stumbled (literally) out into a winter wonderland. It was really pretty.

A big storm was supposed to hit last night (hence the snow alert), but apparently it decided to pick on New Jersey instead. (Do you blame it?) And another storm is possible at the end of this week. My boss told me today that it never snows this early in the season. She is so lying to me – I think she is afraid I am going to flee.

I have been spending some time, measuring tape in hand, at my new pad trying to figure out how one goes about setting up a studio apartment. You’d think it would be easy, being only one room. You’d be surprised. I have also spent some quality time trying to find studio-size furniture. It is quite possible that the deliverymen from Crate and Barrel are going to be my new best friends. Despite the fact that my belongings are still en route, I will be moving in this weekend. It will be me, my air mattress, my laptop and my Sex and the City boxset for the next few weeks!

Tonight I saw the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. Impressive. My Christmas tree this year will be slightly smaller.

The city is beautiful right now, with all of the holiday decorations and the (allegedly premature) snowfall. I wish you all could be here!
