Snow Storm

My first experience of snow storm. Today I woke up early to take the domestic flight to Newark. It was snowing heavily when I left. The whole plane was covered with snow. The first thing the captain mentioned was that there might be some delay as the plane needed to go through de-icing.

First something was sprayed on the snow and the snow melted away.

Then a green liquid was spray on the plan to prevent the plane from forming ice.

It was pretty interesting watching the whole procedure. During the flight, we were able to watch TV and the main news story was about the snow storm. They were reporting the inches of snow in different area and what the city was doing to prepare itself.

Reached Newark later than I thought thus missed the connecting hotel shuttle that came every hour and needed to wait for a while. Once checked in, took the train to New York and then another 1 hour bus out.

Was tired when I finally returned to my hotel at around 11 pm. A long day indeed with lots of travelling and walking. Walking was pretty slippery as the snow melted on pavement with heavy traffic. And with the winter attire... I am still not used to wearing so thick layers, they felt quite heavy and seems to drag me down with every hour. It was also still cold. Nevertheless a good first snow storm experience. The whole landscape is white.
