I went to bed last night thinking the predicted storm might not be so bad for us. The meteorologists were calling for heavy wet snow for the nearby Catskill, Adirondack and Berkshire mountains – over a foot. But as of 10 PM, we were only supposed to get 2-5 inches.
Here’s what it looked like at 8 AM. When my Personal Assistant left, the snow was over her shoes. Side note – she’s a gem for driving here at 5:15 AM to get me out of bed and showered on days like this. She never calls out due to snow.
My office was closed today because the building lost power due to the storm. Even though it’s been 23 years since my last days as a full-time student, I am young enough to appreciate a snow day. Especially one I did not expect!
So far, I have been fabulously lazy. For the past 4 hours all I’ve done is crochet while binge-watching episodes of Bondi Rescue on Netflix. Yes, I know, it’s crap reality TV. But it’s sunshine, blue water and Australian (mostly shirtless) life guards. When this is the current view outside, I’ll take mindless sun and surf any way I can get it!

I dont mind a spot of Bondi Rescue either. I always feel sorry for all those people having to share a beach when here in Tassie I may often be the only one on a beach. But I love seeing the surf and … yes the bodies of those guys is pure eye candy

Trust me – it helps on a snow day when the snow is falling at 1-2 inches per hour!

Iām still a kid at heart, and I love to go sledding. Sledding has replaced skiing these days. And enjoying some peppermint bark tea while reading is a nice way to warm up afterwards.

I used to love sledding. But I hate to be cold. I do love peppermint bark tea, as you know. š
