Snow Day

We got slammed with snow and high winds in Brooklyn Sunday night. This was supposed to be a nice quiet week at work where I’d get a lot done. But the subways weren’t running consistently this morning and our nanny had no good way to get to us, so it turned into a snow day.

So we bundled up and went outside. This is what it looked like outside our place (on Atlantic Avenue, a major street) at about 10:00 am.

Danielle has a good friend who lives two blocks away. They have a traditional stoop and they are in Florida. So Danielle wanted to try sliding down their steps. So we walked to their place.

It was easier walking in the street. Cars were not an issue.

As you can see, the cars were a bit buried (that’s the driver side mirror above Danielle’s head).

And sliding down the stoop at her friend’s house was good fun.

While we were playing, people were trying to dig out the cars. The car in the background had apparently been stuck there since about 7am.

But that just meant that you could play with a snow fort in the street.

A great snow day in Brooklyn. Back to work tomorrow…
