Snowed In!

Classes are canceled today at Hofstra: an estimated 10–15'' of snow will be blowing over Long Island this afternoon. Poor Brian had to go to school today . . . but let's not feel too sorry for him . . . his commute to Brooklyn College takes him 10 minutes!

The day belongs to Melon! The house is clean, the coffee pot is bubbling, and the view from the fifth floor of her Brooklyn apartment reminds her—if only a little bit—of a typical winter day in Iowa. What will she do today?

1. "Sleep in" until 7 a.m.
2. Call her Mom at 7:30 a.m. to rub it in . . . how cruel . . .
3. Maybe eat a hot breakfast instead of the saltine crackers she usually eats on the train!
4. Dress up her puppy in his adorable green sweater and introduce him to SNOW!
5. Go grocery shopping at Target!
6. Make a HUGE pot of chili and a pan of cornbread for what is likely the last snowfall of the season . . .
