I was visiting NYC and was in Times Square for the hell of it when
that blizzard hit to bring in the New Year. It was fun and there was
quite a crowd of revelers there. It was heavy wet snow in NYC and the
high humidity made the air feel a lot colder than it was at single
digit below freezing if I recall.   I come from Canada where we get 6
months of the fluffy white stuff from the sky. The snow can stay on
the ground from late October into mid May. But our snow is dry until
it gets to around 0 degC when the roads turns slushy.  It gets to
minus 15 degC or lower before I start to feel the cold.  The following
day after I left Edmonton (Dec11) I think the temperature fell to a
record minus 43 degC.

Hey, just get a couple of those new Revell Star Wars kits for futzing
around with. They're Snap-Tites, although that can be glued, and are
pre-painted, although I did practice a bit of weathering on mine.
Just the cure for canin fever!

We made it :) No power loss, tho winds were at 45mph for a while, and
only 6 - 8 inches more of snow ! Got to shovel out today again tho, but
at least the plow came through. Wow, I'm impressed.

Waiting on an Aires wheel bay set for my F 16, though am working on
painting the cockpit right now. Also doing some minor work on finishing
my JS II, tho it is a quick and dirty build. I just wanted the memories
of building another JS II. I'm creating albums on my Facebook page and
will have a lot of my models new and old posted in the next few weeks.

Normally we get around 15 inches of snow per year here, we are already
at 55 inches and winter is not over yet. At least I got lot's of pic's,
I've shot almost a thousand pic's this winter now. And still counting...
