Everyone living on the east coast this past December remembers the awful blizzard that rampaged through the Atlantic states. I found this video today that shows what New York city was like during that time which I’m sure wasn’t any different from other snow-laden states in the winter time but I thought I’d showcase New York today in my Island Chick Travels’ Travel Video series that will run pretty much throughout the month being as no plans for excursions for Island Chick anytime soon. I have visited New York one time and believe me we took in as much as we could during the 8 hours we were there. My first taste of subways, strolling through Central Park, climbing the Empire State Building (remind me never to do that again), visiting cathedrals, Hard Rock Cafe, Rockefeller Center, NBC Studio, you name it, we did it.
What I really liked about this video was the sudden shutdown of the roads and people are traveling by sleds, what have you. It’s hard to imagine the roads there without at least one taxi. Did you know that taxis outnumber cars any other day and, yes, there are some crazy cab drivers out there! Anyway, enjoy the video while I go crank up the heat one more notch…
While we’re waiting for Island Chick to come out of hibernation and do some traveling herself, I thought it would be neat to post some videos in the upcoming weeks about what it looks like in other parts of the world in the winter time. This first one is in the heart of the Smokey Mountains on the Appalachian Trail. I’ve traveled extensively to Smokey Mountains, have done a few trails or two, but I’ve never gotten my foot planted on Appalachian Trail turf. Still looking for the right opportunity. I’m not as brave as some of those who hike the whole Appalachian trail and envy those who do it from the beginning to the end. What stamina. In this video, this guy sounds obviously cold, but how beautiful the trees look…
Speaking of snow, no signs of it today on Chincoteague Island but it’s awfully blustery, rainy and downright bone-chilling cold for it being 40 degrees which I find that hard to believe unless my barometer isn’t working. They’re calling for snow up north but I don’t think we’ll get any. Just too warm. Again according to my barometer. I figure the wind blowing off the water is making it colder but it’s the perfect day to stay inside and cuddle with my doggies!
