Snow day in Brooklyn

We were spared snow over the weekend, but it's coming down hard today. Protip: use flash to really show the snow in your pictures (thanks, Alicia!).

I woke up this morning with classes being canceled at all New York City public schools, but Citytech classes still being held. Their website even had a mean message, "Public Transportation is still running, we suggest you use it, but leave time for delays." Not having class today, I was lazy and went back to bed.

I was woken up at 10:30 by a call from one of the full time faculty at City tech (it's part of the notification program the math department set up). Classes starting or ending after 12pm would be canceled.

So it's a full snow day here in New York City. I'm sitting next to the window right now staring at very heavy snowfall. Unfortunately, it won't stick around: tomorrow we've got forcasted temperatures in the high 30's. So I'll sit here sipping coffee and enjoy it while it lasts.

Alicia's first day!

The tradition of taking a picture on the first day of school lives on. Here's Alicia on her first day of work last week. She looks happy because she was able to sleep in, her first day of work started at 10:55.

As for the job, she's loving it. She's joyfully employed by Bloomberg, a news and legal service started by the current mayor of New York City. She talks about it on her blog, Put on the Glasses.
