Beautiful Winter

We have had two intense snow storms this month. During the first one I refused to leave the warmth of my cozy home; but then regretted that I did not get any pictures. When the second storm was to arrive I was determined to go out. R and I were up by 7 am most enthusiastic to go click some shots of the beautiful white powder like snow. We trekked to Central park – slipping , sliding and avoiding the puddles along the way. The park was magical – I have never seen it so serene, white and just beautiful. I felt like I was in a fairytale of some sort. There were quite a few people out and about. Some fanatics were even jogging in the park, but the ones that were having the most fun were the kids who were scurrying around finding the perfect hill to slide down. Below are some shots I took.

LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW!

New York got its first decent amount of snow yesterday. I wish the snow would stick and look like beautiful white powder; but instead it is slushy and 'icky' outside. What I like though is sitting in my warm apartment watching the snow flakes fall, looking at the white roof-tops and sipping a nice hot cup of cocoa. The below song sums it up perfectly:

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
