Snow report from my neighborhood

I just trekked the three blocks to my closest supermarket and back--for the essentials: cat litter and fresh half and half. Main thoroughfares plowed. Side streets--somewhat. Bus stops not at all so IF you can get to the street through the 6 foot high piled up snow a bus might see you and stop for you. Some cars along 14th street were being dug out. I pity the ones that haven't been yet, as the snow freezes tonight. Ewww.

Landlords and storeowners are required to shovel from in front of their buildings/stores. But if the super isn't around for the building and/or the store is not open...the area is not shoveled and the passerby must get through the snow on her own. Which makes for uneven trekking (which is why I had wanted to take the bus back--it leaves me right across from my building). I didn't wait for the bus as I didn't see one coming and walked west on 14th street (in the street as the sidewalks had too much snow on them) to 9th avenue and walked home from there--again, in the street mostly. Not so windy or cold any more. I'm glad I didn't try for my post office box on 6th avenue.

No mail so far today.


If the temperature goes up to 36 tomorrow as forecasted and the sun comes out--expect huggggge slush puddles.

I ended up not going to the theater last night. It just looked too cold, windy, and snowy out to get up to 42nd street and back.

reminder of books for sale

Just a reminder that I'm selling some of my anthologies until December 31st. For details read my earlier post here:

There were three titles on reserve for someone how said she would pay by December 24th. She did not, so those books are now again available. (they were books from the "mythic series" edited by me and Terri).
