snow!6 - 11 inches of snow is forecast for NYC in the next three days. I can see snow already falling outside my window here at work, and this is what's predicted for tomorrow:

Snow along with gusty winds at times. Cold. Temps nearly steady in the low 30s. Winds NNE at 20 to 30 mph. Snow accumulating 4 to 7 inches.

Yikes! Tomorrow morning is my NYRR Hot Chocolate 15K, which I'm really looking forward to. Hopefully it won't be too snowy to run, and then after it's over, I can come home and get in my cozy bed and read all afternoon as it snows heavily outside.

Update: totally weird. Exactly a year ago it was snowing as well, and I was excited and posting about it. And a year ago, Gina posted a picture of snow outside her window at work. It's starting to look like that outside our window here at work, a year later. Does this simultaneous anniversary snowstorm mean that we'll have another snowy winter? Or are we experiencing some strange Groundhog Day (the movie, not the Day) experience?

Tomorrow, we're going to watch the Eagles play in the NFC championship game. The snow is supposed to stop before game time, but it's going to be cold. Like, 18 degrees with a wind-chill below zero. Brrr. Are we crazy or what?

The first big snow was yesterday. It was really something. I love snow. Its so beautiful to see the first snow come crashing down. I always have a dream the night before a really big snow of that next days snow. It's quite odd actually.

I'm sick now too. I always get sick at least once during winter. This time its a really bad cold. My throat hurts so bad, I can't possibly explain it.

I didn't go to school today, much to sick and tired for that.

Well, our plane got in about 3 hours late due to weather and congestion at Tokyo Narita. A large part of the cause was a snow storm. It's really weird seeing snow on the ground here. I didn't sleep more than 30 minutes the whole way, so it was pretty easy to get to sleep and wake up at 6pm. The Boeing 777s with individual LCD screens at each seat are quite handy.

Snow running success!


Snow running success! 01/07/2004 06:51 PM
Just like the Postal Service, neither wind nor snow stopped me, David, and Alaina from running this morning's Hot Chocolate 15k. Designated a "fun run" by the NY Road Runners, it wasn't timed, and the distance was reduced to 6 miles. But it was fun. Not only are we crazy enough to run in a blizzard, David was crazy enough to moblog the event!

» Here's the start
» Heading down the course
» My shoulder, smiling Alaina, David's arm
» Frozen water at the water station
» David and I chugging along (not really suffering as much as it appears)

Our time? 1:04.38, not too shabby with all the snow on the ground and wind in the air. And at that speed, there was lot of opportunity for gabbing along the course. And of course, our fearless supporters Anil and Jason were there to cheer us along. Meanwhile, unless it stopped snowing while I was sleeping (which I doubt), it's been snowing since ~11AM yesterday, which means we're into our 30th hour of snow! But I think I'm done being out and about in it. From now on it's all BB&B -- baths (hot), bed, and books.

Update: one final photo snapped by Anil that I call Triumph!, aka Us at the finish.
