Another winter storm

It’s Monday morning around 9am on Valentine’s Day. I’m sitting here drinking the espresso that I made from the epic $70 find from facebook marketplace. Normally, you wouldn’t find me being appliances second hand, but this was an incredible deal and honestly it worked out. 

This is now our 7th winter storm since we got home from Christmas on December 28th. I’m still learning about the east coast lifestyle; storms, people, culture. 

But let me tell you, I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a city fully shutting down every single week. 

I admit there’s something soothing about living in a snow globe every week - making tea in the afternoon, watching the snow fall as if life isn’t chaotic. It’s like a romantic movie. But also that scene in Brooklyn 99 where Gina is listening to music with her headphones on while there’s a kerffule behind her. That’s how most days feel these days. 

The day has gone on, we have about a foot of snowman snow and absolutely zero desire to shovel it.
