The First Snow

Reasons I love this city:

My landlord is completely incapable of keeping the heat at a reasonable temperature; either it's torrid or gelid. No happy medium. Ever.

No that is not a reason why I heart NY, but I'm getting there. It just needs some back-story...

Anyway, tonight is an especially stifling evening and it's thundersnowing. Yes, there is such a thing, and it is perfectly majestic. Thundersnowing since about noon today. Thundering and snowing. And lightning. Thundersnow lightning. 

So to help alleviate this oppressive heat, my roommate and I simply walk to the kitchen, open the window and proceed to make snowballs off our fire escape. We then flounce back to our Lord of the Rings marathon and give the backs of our necks and wrists a nice snowy cool-down.

How does it go Betty? "Snooow, I want to wash my hands, my face and hair with snooow..."
