Snow Job

For a while now I didn't think it would happen, but winter finally hit. We had what I guess constitutes a blizzard here in NYC. The snow started late Saturday evening as I was on my way home from judging a Magic PTQ. It wasn't really sticking, but the wind was vicious and the forecast called for much worse after midnight. When I woke in the morning it was snowing strong and it didn't really stop until 4 pm on Sunday. We definitely got over a foot of accumulation and this caused Neutral Ground to close which meant no day 2 of the Vs. X-Men Sneak Preview, which meant no judging for Hayden. :( Another downside to the snow was that it meant people couldn't fly into NYC. In particular Mark wasn't able to fly in for Toy Fair which is a real bummer because I probably won't get to see him until next year (with all my Magic judging and a major soccer tournament in July I'm not going to be able to make any of the conventions this year).

The positive to all of this precipitation is that it meant I got a good solid day of home time, which I desperately needed. I was able to get a lot done today including some labwork, food shopping, laundry, organizing my bookcases, preparing my receipts and W-2s for taxes, putting away random cards, throwing out junk, writing up my Level 3 interview form, watching all saved shows on my DVR and watching two Netflix movies. Of course there's still tons more to be done, but I've made a solid dent and hopefully this will keep me out from under in the long run.
