Snow Day!
“The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”
- Robert Frost, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”
I woke up this morning and started getting ready for work. And then I remembered that it had been snowing heavily when I was drifting away to sleep during the night. I peeked out my window to see what looked like 2-4 feet of snow!
I confirmed via the internets that New York City had in fact nearly shut down entirely. Almost every subway and bus line was out of service. Cabs were virtually non-existent. Even opening up my front door would have been a challenge.
So, I notified the hospital that I would not be making it in today (they didn’t seem too surprised to hear the news) and I went back to sleep.
It feels like it’s been forever since I had a snow day! I remember how much I enjoyed them as a child. Piles of snow meant no school, chicken soup, sledding, and hot chocolate. Today it means no work, wet doggies, and catching up on errands. 
Cheers to snow!
