It has been bucketing down snow for most of today - an incredible sight considering we are at sea level. We are expecting up to 2 feet (60cm) of snow in this 24 hour storm - there has been lightning and thunder as well. When they do weather over here, they really do it big.
All JFK flights were cancelled from 2pm - hope it all clears for the boys to fly out tomorrow night.
It hasn't stopped people being out and about though. We subwayed down to South Ferry and there were hundreds of people queued for tickets to Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty.
Had a great Christmas lunch at Scarlotto's on 47th with David Harrison yesterday - it was surreal to meet a familiar face after so long away in such a far away place - good time had by all.
Tania went and saw Alvin Ayley dancers this afternoon while we boys saw "True Grit" at AMC theatre.

Just saw the news about the snow! Gord and I are off to Brisbane for the night to stay in the city and catch up with our Peru friends. Flood alerts fro Dalby and around Orange! Sydney to Hobart dreadful 15 boats 'retired' early. No rain this morning... but a bit windy. Yesterday we had lunch with Lesley Barnes at Babalou (above Kingy pub)... then got drenched walking home. In afternoon went to visit friends of Jann and Tony's who also live in Kingscliff... in a million dollar apartment along that little road heading to Fingal near the football ground. We've had a few scrabble games as well... even gordon! enjoy
