If things had gone as planned, right about now, I would have been looking out on greater Los Angeles as the plane made its descent. But unfortunately the Blizzard of '10 (I haven't actually heard this yet, but I'm sure someone's saying it) derailed my plans. And those of thousands, if not millions of others.
So instead of smog and sunshine, I'm looking out my window to see the aftermaths of the storm. It's hard to see how much snow has really fallen from the 9th floor. But I can see the howling wind as it blows the dust from the tops of the buildings. It's pretty awesome - unfortunately the image doesn't do it much justice.
No way around it though, it's a serious snow day here in New York... I was invited to watch a "dress up show" (kids) and enjoy afternoon cocktails (adults) in Tribeca. But subway trains have limited service and after calling a handful of car companies have found they are either not answering their phones, or finding my request for a car today somewhat incredulous. Even 777-7777. May have to brave public transport if I want liquid and entertainment...
Hopefully all will get back to somewhat normal conditions tomorrow. And may even get on a plane to see sunny LA after all. TBD...
Hope you made it to LA.....but aren't you just exchanging blizzard for deluge?

The sun would have peaked through eventually.... would have. Flight delays, cancellations... in NY through to the New Year...
