Oh, my. Don't you just love the black snow. It gives the city such elegance, right. :)

I don't even understand what is going on in the first article (I don't anyone understands what is going on in the second). So, people want to go after the guy who opened his car door for killing the biker that ran into the truck?

Just put it in the black winter mood box.

@JenMac: It's like a blog. Just read it, take what you want, and leave the rest.

@Uraniumfish you know people who are not from here i.e from overseas have this romantic notion about snow in the city, they all imagine it( my family included) to be pristine and beautiful always dash their hopes when i tell them about the black snow. Ha !

Or worse: black ice.

So I keep having these days of epiphany lately, when it's sunny out and I can't be in a black winter mood no matter how cold it is. I sat in the park today! On a bench! The sunshine felt so good I was delirious!

It's abnormally warm this week for February. It's supposed to be almost 60 by Thursday! I wish it would stay like this but I have a feeling it's not going to.

@JenMac is it? the husband is in NYC and says its freezing and quite depressing.. I have actually changed my ticket to come in June now..

NeverSleeps Feb 14, 2011

@uptowngirl It was close to 60 degrees today! But horribly windy. @JenMac Here's to hoping.

hhusted Feb 15, 2011

Still winter folks. More winter weather is on the way.

uptowngirl Feb 15, 2011

@hhusted uggh.. though I better accept the fact I have to deal with it at sometime because my home is NY and no longer in the tropics.

JenMac Feb 17, 2011

@upstown: June? Well, I think you're probably safe at that point as far as the cold goes . . . but you never know here, now do ya?

uptowngirl Feb 17, 2011

@JenMac Youre so right remember two years ago in 2009 when June in NYC was a complete wash out

JenMac Feb 18, 2011

@uptown: yes!! A friend came to visit in June and had to buy new clothes because it was still rainy and freezing!

uptowngirl Feb 19, 2011

@JenMac I will make sure that I have a trench coat with me and a few cardis if it is indeed rainy and miserable though I am wishing for blue skies and lots of sun.
