Daily thoughts - First snow experience for me and the cats

 In 2010 there was a blizzard in New York. But the previous year 2011 it didnt snow for the entire month of December. Not that Im complaining. Ive heard a dozen of stories, mostly unpleasant, about how hard it is to cope with the nasty aftermath of a heavy snowstorm. Also I have a very low threshold for cold weather. At first its interesting but once it hits the 30s (Fahrenheit) and below it gives me a headache. I guess Im really not built for this kind of climate. But of course I wanted to experience what snow feels like. After checking the accuweather online and on hearing the news, I got excited. I slept late but around 2am there still wasnt any snow.

I woke up to use the bathroom around 4am and decided to also peek out the window.

It was beautiful but I was freezing when I went on the balcony to check it out. Its like that time I stuck my head in the freezer when I was a kid and Id sniff the cold till my nose went numb. I went back to bed and got up a few hours later excited to let my cats experience it too.

isnt that cute?

Dapper's turn:

It was really fun to watch the cats scampering on the ice. They both stayed only for probably 2 minutes and ran back in to join me in enjoying the heat inside the apartment.
