winter wonderland

"Whyever did I bring my winter coat?" Looking out the window approaching one of the NYC airports, that was a reasonable question to ask oneself: green grass, blue sky and a certain warm yellowness in the air. Hmmm. Yet another year dreaming of a white Christmas - in vain?
Little did we know.
While the weather certainly was perfect for exploring the Princeton University campus and surroundings, the following day held a sharp turn in weather conditions. 


On the 26th of December a light snow escorted our train to Manhattan as we were heading for Broadway (I finally saw Mamma Mia live!!!). However, as I was standing by the exit waiting for my company, I saw two human piles of snow enter the theatre. As snow pile #1 darted for the restroom, snow pile #2 shook off the snow in a doglike fashion. 
Uh-oh.
