Ok. So I have been promised a harsh winter and snow by pretty much everyone here. But after seeing the pictures of the winter wonderland in Seattle this weekend, I have to admit, I am deeply disappointed.
This is the closest to winter we have gotten here. It was cold as I have ever felt last Saturday, with windchill down to 15 degrees. And there was a little bit of snow this morning, which quickly vanished.
However, it was fun to see my buddies from Jordan, who operate a market on my block, marvel and take pictures of the snow as it fell as there is a lack of such flurry in the harsh deserts of the middle east.
So after some winter teasing, and with my trip back to Seattle in just a few days, winter in NY will have to be one in waiting. Perhaps January will be more fitting. I do hesitate briefly, remembering the old saying, be careful what you wish for.
