NYC - Holiday Blizzard 2010 vs Snow in the Val Racchiusole 2009 - Dig out or Chill Out?

Ciao Cari,
I may have jinxed the LIRR in my blog entry of December 25th.



26 December 2010
MTA REPORTS THAT:Due to storm related switch trouble at Jamaica LIRR service is suspended from Penn Station and Atlantic Terminal. Westbound service is operating with delays ranging up to one hour and there are multiple train cancellations.

27 December 2010
LIRR passenger service remains suspended systemwide. High winds and drifting snow are making the effort to clear tracks and switches very challenging. This suspension will continue until safe and reliable service can be restored.

When the big storms hit NYC, I start to daydream about Umbria and the Val Racchiusole ...

Not Luigi XIV 'Il Piccolo Coraggioso' (The Little Courageous One) - 
Looks like he needs some courage.


Looks like he found some.



Wishing you a Healthy and Happy New Year
with a little
Prosperity thrown in for good measure.
Saluti,
Joan
