Kun katson kuvia lumisesta New Yorkista, voin täysin vaikeuksitta kuvitella sen tunnelman, mikä Manhattanilla mahtaakaan olla juuri nyt, suurten lumimäärien leijailtua alas kaduille viime päivinä. Saan muutenkin jo hysteerisiä itkukohtauksia nähdessäni New Yorkin katuja ja maisemia vaikkapa televisiosta -- ja etenkin tällä viikolla, kun PMDD on ärhäkkänä kimpussani, koko ruumistani ja sieluani suorastaan särkee, kun kuvittelen itseni lumiselle Broadwaylle seisomaan pää kallellaan, kuunnellen ja katsellen ympärilleni tuossa rakkaimmassa kaupungissa, keskellä 'suurten nietosten'. Ahh !

I hate winter, but I love New York City. Obviously then, I would love winter if I was in New York, eh ? During the six months I lived in Manhattan back in the day I never got to experience any winter-like days; I left back to Europe on the early days of December and I remember the day being quite mild, around 45F probably - and we hadn't had any chilly days prior to that either.
When I look at these pictures from New York taken this week after and during the blizzard, I can easily imagine the atmosphere that must surround Manhattan now as the snow has been falling down, in between the skyscrapers down to those streets and alleys. It must be quieter somehow. I'm known to have hysterical crying fits whenever I see the streets and sceneries of New York even on TV - and this week, with a particularly bitchy PMDD making me super emotional, I can almost feel a physical ache all over my body (and soul) while imagining myself standing in a blizzard on Broadway, looking around in amazement in the city I love most in the world. Aww.
Pictures are not mine.
