I awoke this morning at 5:30 to bring my sister to Penn Station for her visit up to Syracuse. Lest I remind you that this is the morning after my 21st birthday. What I woke up to was white stuff once again falling from the sky. I digress.

I was aware that we had another “storm” heading our way, but I wasn’t expecting this much bad weather. School was delayed by a few hours, but seeing as my classes are all later at night that doesn’t really help much. It snowed Monday after an unseasonably and luckily warm Super Bowl (47 degrees – really?), was cold on my birthday (yesterday), and this morning I wake up to another 4 inches of slush on my sidewalk. WHEN IS THIS GOING TO STOP?

Talking with friends about the white fluff, we have come to the agreement that before Christmas the snow is magical and beautiful, however in the days following the New Year, snow is gross, annoying, and quite honestly a big pain.

With 4.0″ of snow overnight, Central Park has officially eclipsed 40″ of snow on the season (40.3″).

Though the snow is pretty at first sight, I can’t help but say that I’m missing home (and the beautiful weather) more than ever. Twist on the other hand is loving it – she is knee deep in snow in Syracuse and sending me the heart emoticons with pictures of the snow. If only she understood.
