Jessica comes to Japan, brings New York snow with her

Today we've got over a foot in accumulated snow and it is AWESOME. I walked to school in it, which was just like old times at college and AWESOME. Came to school and there were cars stuck in it every which way.

I had kinda wanted to drive here, but I don't have a snow shovel and my car was totally buried in it. Also, I would have also gotten stuck in the mess up at school so all things considered it's better I chose to walk, even if I did get temporarily lost going all googly-eyed at the winter wonderland.

The principal came over and told me this was the biggest snow in recent years. I then told him it was pretty much 'normal' for New York, with snow like this happening a few times a year, and worse snow happening a couple. I told him it make me nostalgic, and he laughed.

It's not to cold, only a right at freezing, and the perfect temperature for enjoyable snow shovelling. Here's hoping I can get that activity, since otherwise I'll be sitting here at my desk while the kids do tests all day.

Happy winter, ya'll!
