So today is apparently the heaviest snowfall New York has had in seven years. Alas, poor Tigger: his owner is snowed in here with me, since all train service over the bridge into Manhattan has been suspended for the duration. We’re expecting about two feet total accumulation, but the wind is causing it to heap up in weird ways. The pile outside my door comes to about mid-thigh on me; getting to classes tomorrow should be an adventure.

This is by no means the biggest snowstorm I’ve ever seen, nor is it really that crippling. By my Massachusetts standards, this weighs in at a minor pain-in-the-ass ranking, but it’s rare for snow to accumulate at all within the city itself, so everyone’s flipping out about it.
