NYC and the Blizzard of '06


So, this is LONG over due to post, but here it is! Barry and I went down to Toy Fair this year and got caught in the worst blizzard in the recorded history of the city. We got over a yard of snow - on the day we had to go from our B&B to the Javits Center. What a NIGHTMARE!
Fortunately, we were able to hail a cab almost immediately. Unfortunately, I was almost run over by it as the cab was unable to stop as it moved towards us. I saw my life begin flashing before my eyes - as brief as that was. ;)


However, we were able to make it with minimal fanfare once the cab picked us up. The picture above is out the Javits Center door - about half way through the blizzard. Throughout the day we got double the snow shown here...

Once inside, it was toasty warm and we were able to drop our sodden coats off at a coat check, allowing us to peruse the sites. :)
