New York is basically unbearable right now.
It’s so unpleasantly, intensely cold that we keep coming up with new terms to describe the fact that it is cold. The snow and freezing rain keep alternating to form layer of ice underneath slush underneath snow. It’s snowing again. And it will probably snow again every week ever because really, there is just no end in sight.
We are virtual prisoners in our own home, at mercy to the elements raging outside our windows. And we forgot to stock up on hot chocolate.
