When it rains it pours (for lack of better term)...
This snow is ridiculous.. It reminds me that I'm out of shape because all I'm doing is running, jumping, skating and slipping on these sidewalks here in NYC. Its like a military drill and my body hurts!!
I cant remember the last time I've witnessed this much snow storms attack NYC week after week. Probably the 90's?
Thank god that I don't have to go to work today because god knows I couldn't get up this morning. The picture to the right is what outside my window looks like less than 5 minutes ago! At least the streets are clean.
Update 1: I took this picture to the left Friday evening while walking in front of a church in Brooklyn. Its basically snow all the way up to my knees.
That day I've never been that scared in a long time; the side walks wasn't clean and when I do find a clean sidewalk its like walking on pure ice, I was continuously slipping praying to god that I don't slide from the sidewalk into the streets unto oncoming traffic.
Then there is the streets, I had no choice but to walk on the streets sometimes because the snow on the sidewalk was impenetrable and under it was slush so my entire feet got wet. And walking on the streets with traffic is like playing Russian Roulette with your life.
No taxi's were available and public transportation was completely shut down!
Update 2: My friend who lives in brooklyn sent me this picture to of infront his house (The picture with the stair case).
And the picture with the light pole is what I took out while walking to my neighborhood barber shop. Its about 18 inches of snow on the side walk, I had no choice but to walk in the streets.
