Snow in NYC

Here is a picture of the recent snowfall and the drifts it created. That is mr standing by our van!

The Difference One Half Inch Makes

Last Friday night Emily and I loaded into the van for our Friday night ritual...girl scouts. If you've paid any attention to the news at all, you'll know that we've had a very snowy winter up here so far. After trekking through 8 or 9 inches of snow, we finally made it down the block to our van. When I started the van, a light on the dashboard was on. Not being a particularly good mechanic...I was kinda upset at the prospect of something being wrong. I grabbed the owners manual and quickly learned that one of my tires was low. I know how to change a tire, but it would have been particularly difficult to do so with all the snow on the ground...so I went to a local shop to have them inspect it. They found a small nail in the tread of the tire only 1/2 inch from the sidewall. The total cost to patch was $7 and it took about 15 minutes. 1/2 inch saved us $140. Not an exciting story, but it is something that we felt like sharing.

BTW, the news stations are telling us that we will hit with another "substantial" amount of snow this Tues/Wed. Yeah for us!!!
