Stranded







We are still in New York. All flights today were canceled, so we are now on a 5.30pm flight to Montreal tomorrow (28th). There is snow piled up everywhere. It is the 6th biggest ever snowstorm in New York, so one for the history books.

The snow has been cleared on many roads, so is piled up on the sides of the roads in high mounds. We now have winds which are very cold & strong, blowing the snow around. It is -5, with the wind chill taking it to -12. we went out for a walk around the block - Times Square. Had lunch at a 1950's diner, where the staff all sing (they are trying to get roles on Broadway). Lunch was a burger & shake. We walked a little more before returning back to the warmth of the apartment.

Tonight we are going to see the musical "Billy Elliott". We will again put on our boots & hats & gloves to tackle the elements. Fortunately it is only a couple of streets down.
