My first snowstorm in 10 years! Large, fluffy flakes of snow dusted the sidewalks, cars and me as I headed out to meet my intrepid walking group. Would anyone be at the corner where we meet? Of course there were! Five of us headed out down our usual route but we decided not to tackle the hill we usually climb as it is pretty steep - going uphill wouldn't be that bad but the downhill side might be tricky. Instead we opted for a flat route along the waterfront. Luckily it wasn't very cold or windy yet. We had a brisk walk ending at our usual coffee shop.
On my way home, I stopped at the grocery store to pick up butter and eggs because a day like this makes me want to stay inside and cook. I spent the rest of the day baking mandelbrot, a Jewish cookie similar to biscotti, oatmeal craisin cookies and homemade tomato soup. I promise to blog the recipes soon.
It snowed all day! Watching a snowstorm from the 31st floor is a new experience for me. The wind up here is a bit different from ground level - there were times when it looked like it was snowing up! Wild! And periodically the snow was so heavy that I couldn't see across the street.
It snowed and snowed and snowed and it's still snowing! The wind is howling as it whistles through the canyons these tall downtown building create. I am snug and warm in our apartment high in the sky and feel very lucky I don't have to drive anywhere tonight.
The weather folks are saying the snow should end around midnight but when it does it will get very cold...BRRRRR!
One thing is for sure - I'm not in Florida anymore!
