Snow report from my neighborhood

I just trekked the three blocks to my closest supermarket and back--for the essentials: cat litter and fresh half and half. Main thoroughfares plowed. Side streets--somewhat. Bus stops not at all so IF you can get to the street through the 6 foot high piled up snow a bus might see you and stop for you. Some cars along 14th street were being dug out. I pity the ones that haven't been yet, as the snow freezes tonight. Ewww.

Landlords and storeowners are required to shovel from in front of their buildings/stores. But if the super isn't around for the building and/or the store is not open...the area is not shoveled and the passerby must get through the snow on her own. Which makes for uneven trekking (which is why I had wanted to take the bus back--it leaves me right across from my building). I didn't wait for the bus as I didn't see one coming and walked west on 14th street (in the street as the sidewalks had too much snow on them) to 9th avenue and walked home from there--again, in the street mostly. Not so windy or cold any more. I'm glad I didn't try for my post office box on 6th avenue.

No mail so far today.


If the temperature goes up to 36 tomorrow as forecasted and the sun comes out--expect huggggge slush puddles.

I ended up not going to the theater last night. It just looked too cold, windy, and snowy out to get up to 42nd street and back.
