Since last week, meteorologists have been predicting a major winter blizzard (12-18 inches) in the Northeast for Tuesday, tomorrow. I love cold and I love snow, so for me, it's welcome news.
But last week my mom decides she won't be here for my birthday. One of her biggest fears is being on the road in a snowstorm.
My dentist calls to cancel tomorrow's appointment. He's already planning not to be in.
I receive an email from some people at BAFTA; they'll be working from home tomorrow.
NYC schools have already been cancelled.
MTA above-ground service has been suspended starting at 4am.
Governor Cuomo has declared NY a state of emergency (beginning at midnight) and has ordered all non-essential government employees across most of New York to stay home.
I go to Agata.
The store is packed; people on top of people everywhere. I overhear someone saying, "It looks like the end of the world." I select only items that don't need to be weighed so I can get in the shorter line. It still takes about 35 minutes to pay. The longer line snakes through the entire store. People must fear having no where to eat tomorrow.
I come home and see an email from Saks, sent to all its NYC employees. The store plans to open at its usual time.
At least there'll be somewhere to shop tomorrow if you need a nice dress. Oh, and Saks also has a very nice restaurant, just in case you find yourself without food.
