Snowed-in in the City

The following things may or may not happen to you when a freak storm decides to drop a foot of snow in the city and strand you for an extra night than you were planning.

~ You will plod your way through 6 inches of snow to get up to ABC Studios because you have a ticket to see Jeffrey Dean Morgan co-host Live with Kelly and you really don't want to pass that up even though your entire outfit is not snow-ready.  This will be the highlight of the snow day - everything will only get worse from here.

~ You will eat a tiny breakfast and dinner, and a huge lunch from Shake Shack, all from the comfort of your hotel bed because it's freezing outside and you're just so tired of being cold.  

~ You will fall not once, but twice embarrassing yourself in front of kindly strangers because you failed to bring appropriate foot attire and because you're super clumsy.

~ You will wear the same combination of clothes for 48 hours straight, because extra clothes are not a thing you needed when you were only going to be away for one night.

~ You will attempt to win the Dear Evan Hansen Lottery because surely with all this snow, there has to be some cancellations.  And you will still lose.

~ Since you lost the Dear Evan Hansen lottery, you will decide to brave the elements just to see if you can find some snow day sales on any show.  You will fail miserably at the TKTS line, and hit a home run at the box office for In Transit.

~ You will walk the 5 blocks in 30 degree winds just to see In Transit, and love every minute of the show, while also dreading the 5 block walk back.

~ Finally you will crawl into bed, building a fort of pillows to block the cold air that's seeping in the windows, to get all toasty and warm, and still think that NYC is the greatest city in the world - even if it's not so dreamy in the snow.

So much more to say tomorrow about the real reason I was there, but I've been mentally composing this post in my head for the last 24 hours since I was alone for all of that time, and I went a little stir crazy...
