Snow dump

As many people are probably aware, the east coast got a LOT of snow yesterday. Brooklyn was no exception. 

Ari and I walked around Prospect Park during Peak Blizzard for about 15 minutes before deciding we'd had enough. Then we bought some necessities at the local grocery store (which was surprisingly crowded) and spent the rest of the day indoors, cooking comfort food (tomato soup, challah) and watching movies (Ex Machina and Parks and Rec). 

Snow selfie! (Snelfie)

Ari pretends to hitchhike in the park. 

This morning, Ari had to leave early to play church (a gig he has every Sunday), and had to call Uber to take him to the closest working subway station, since trains aren't running from our closest stop. 

I got to sleep in and wake up to the sound of melting snow dripping on our windowsill. Seymour also enjoyed the pretty view from my pillow. 

This afternoon, I went for another longer walk today in the park. It was so pretty! 

Another snelfie.

I guess we'll all be back to the grind tomorrow, but it's been a pretty magical weekend.

Some belated pictures of the snowy day we had last week.

Snow Storm!

My first day of work was supposed to be today, but thanks to an impending snowstorm, classes were cancelled.

This morning, we woke up with a good few inches of sparkling snow. It's nothing like the snow we got in December of 2010, but it's pretty! Ari and I went for a little walk around Prospect Park during the warmest part of the day (21 degrees).

Pardon the slanted shots--it was too cold for me to stop and hold the iPhone correctly! 

We are now safely inside!
