Today started a lazily. We had a few hours to kill before we went to airport to head to Pittsburgh, so we went to Madame Toussauds. Was interesting but really, not that amazing. But it came free with our pass.
Then - Uh Oh!
Snow! When we came out of the wax fest, we were greeted to a light flurry of snow. At first it was exciting, we were loving the snow. We hopped in a cab to JFK, however once there, we discovered our plane, along with over 1000 others was cancelled.
It was officially a BLIZZARD!
Not such a fan of snow now!
Things began to get expensive, we now had to find accom for the nite, as well as forgo our Pittsburgh accom and hire car.
Hopefully we can make it for the 28th, otherwise it's no Fallingwater for me.
Anyway, we made the most of the situation. After heading back into town by cab, which was cool as our driver was a really interesting New Yorker, we headed to Grays Papaya Hot Dogs. Really really good. For $4.45 you get two hot dogs, grilled might I add, and a smoothie - awesome!
We couldn't really head out tho that nite, the snow had gotten really heavy, and winds were fast. There was even Snow Thunder, which I don't really know about, but the NBC news guy was super excited about on the TV. Americans really make things into a big drama. All the channels were running round the clock updates of the Snow storm, called Eye On The Storm.
I must admit it did get quite heavy and by the morning it was 15-20inches of cover.
So once again we made the best of the situation, we ordered in some Indian food and watched Forrest Gump in our apartment.
It was a good opportunity for everyone to catch up on some rest - it's been a busy week.
Missing u all.
