Jan. 23, 12:32 p.m.: Snowed in

A lot of snow, but now it’s over.

   We’re still digging out this morning. Luckily, as I was making breakfast, a couple of kids rang the bell and offered to shovel out. I’m giving them $40 – I’d shoveled last night so the work here is not as bad as it would be for some of my neighbors.
   The Star-Ledger reported about 10 to 14 inches on the region, which seems about right. And The New York Times is reporting it as a crippling storm.
   For me, it was an opportunity to catch up on some writing and to watch some DVDs – recommendation: rent or buy "Garden State."
   The sun is sneaking through the window in my home office now and I figure the snow will be around a while. But it’s over and we can get on with things.
