Hey y’all, sorry for the hiatus! It’s been quite a week. We had a snow emergency! Which, as far as I can tell, is basically a blizzard that disrupts driving and parking. And sometimes walking, too. (Being from Sacramento, where — apart from puddle-jumping — strolling down the street is pretty much the same affair 12 months out of the year, the fact that winter ice transforms a sidewalk into an obstacle course still kinda blows my mind.)
Remember what my porch looked like a week-and-a-half ago? Here’s where three days of white crisis’ll getcha:

Luckily, my friend Jonah had the fantastic idea of a blizzard party — where a group of friends get snowed in together, with movie rentals and hot chocolate and a picture window. What do we care, how much it may storm?
dang!
that’s a lot of snow!
