new year’s winter blast
January 1, 2009 by cornsncallouses
there’s nothing like coming home to winter wonderland after a 90-degree temperature weather for the last three or so weeks.
yes, our first day back in new england was greeted by a white-out winter storm, 8-inch snow and bitter cold 10 degree temperatures with a windchill of -11. it was my first time to drive on the snow this winter and it was a battle driving on the powdery snow.
suffice to say, it was the perfect setting to succumb to jetlag and sleep the day away. gone are our plans to drive into boston to watch the 7 p.m. fireworks and the ice sculptures, (new year’s eve 12 midnight fireworks was cancelled!) so we settled instead with a feast of Chinese food, which is what Americans traditionally do.
can’t say its much of a celebration, but with New England winter, anything goes. welcome back…
