We're getting blasted back into the ice age here. I won't be making it out to Seattle to attend the Blog Business Summit that my consultancy is sponsoring. My flight was cancelled as was about everything else.
Mike Doughty writes that he is depressed that he is missing the blizzard in Manhattan while playing some shows out west in San Francisco and Utah. He says, I adore a blizzard, especially in Manhattan, where the whole city shuts down and becomes eerie and pristine.
Yes, I agree and miss them not living in that fine metropolis. It is a very surreal experience to see a city that is always bustling and in motion get painted white and go silent like it does during a blizzard. A bit of snow doesn't cut it though. NYC is always running at its limits – the sidewalks, the streets, the trains etc – so when it snows a bit its like an added crowds of tourist that slows you down and annoys. No you need a blizzard. When one of those hit all is lost and you stay home if you can. That is unless you have an apprecaition for the city at its most pristine.
I'm in New England now were people don't see to enjoy a blizzard as much. I suppose landlords and building maintenance are apprecaited when it comes time to shovel the sidewalks and garage driveway. Still I'm enjoying the sight and coping with the shoveling.
