I don't know about you, but snow weather is the perfect time to play a Cure album, so I've got disintegration playing in the background right now. My brother got about 15in. of snow at his place, but thankfully, Hopewell was less blessed in terms of snow. Maybe 10in.?
This snow has brought back memories. A little over five years ago, some of my college roommates came up to NYC for New Years Eve in Times Square. There was fresh snow on the ground, and for some reason or another we had made our up to the Upper East Side. We walked into Central Park and headed toward Sheep's Meadow. On the way, we passed a rather sizeable hill, on which a whole bunch of people were sledding down. Being transplanted Floridians, of course we joined, and tried to find anything that we could use to sled down. I think we finally settled on cardboard boxes...can't say they worked all that well.
Anyway, the thing I remember most of that evening was the color of the sky. It was quite overcast and I think the light of the city must have been refracting off of the clouds. Even though it was the evening and dark, the sky had an orange tint. It's among the coolest things I've ever seen.
I looked up into the sky this evening after I shoveled part of my driveway, and it kinda resembled that. Jogged my memory.
