over the weekend, new york city got it's biggest snow storm ever: 27" of snow! did i get out of work? church? did the schools close? NO. everything still happened because the subways never stop. No snow days for the kids here, but i guess they make up for it with all their religious holidays. church on sunday was pretty empty, but a lot of people came despite the fact that the blizzard was still happening until the afternoon. it was kinda funny to see times square in a blizzard and to walk in the street to avoid the snow.

i wish i hadn't missed the strangest part of the storm. My friends at church said that there were thunder and lightning during the blizzard. No one had ever seen that before, including my pastor from canada.
