Snow


Yesterday was January 9 and I still had not seen snow in New York or for this season. But today that all changed. It was around 9:30 this morning and I gazing over the Hudson River from my desk and I noticed that there were some large dark clouds headed our way. I got a little excited because I knew that it was cold enough to snow and there were rumors that it might be in the forcast. I watched the clouds get closer while my excitement was building. All of a sudden my boss walked out of his office and asked if it was snowing. I jumped up from my desk, ran to the window, and swisted my neck skyward. Sure enough little white flurried were drifting from the heavens. It was wonderful, glorious, beautiful. This winter has felt so weird with out snow and my wish to see it was finaly coming true. After watching it for a few minutes I went back to my desk and noticed that when you looked north over the park it was split perfectly in half. The west side of the park was receiving snow while the east side of the park was blue sky and sunshine. It was very weird. Just as magicaly as the snow appeared it disappeared. I watched the drifts of snow for about 5 minutes and then all of a sudden the storm had moved on and it was blue sky and sun once again. Oh well, better luck next. Still no real snow in New York City and it is January 10th.
