Update on Life in the Big Apple....

Its getting cold, first snowfall over the weekend.....just a thin layer. Not enough to go sledging on, and certainly not enough for a day off work....

That may have happened in London....since it was at least 1.5" of snow at one point......

But we managed to dig ourselves out........

Christmas lights are going up everywhere.....we decided to sit tight and see what the acceptable level of "twinklness" is on the street before we take the plunge.....don't want to understate things........

Some of the houses on a neighbouring road have gone crazy........it looks like Blackpool Illuminations (watch this space for a piccy)
