DC snow finally starting to stick. Getting really pretty. Ugliness comes later.

To prepare him for a tough day, Jonah stoked up on carbs.
Snowbound menu: Martinis. Then: Gnocchi with slow-cooked pork ragu, arugula salad (that's right: Arugula) and a nice red. Life is good.

But before Jonah gets to pick the pork bits out of his teeth, disaster strikes.
[Ooops, it's the next day, so Jonah is stuck in the house without electricity overnight. Thanks for the correction, anonymous.]
Seriously: We're buried. Electricity is out. House getting cold. May evacuate.

Dear God, the tragedy! It's time to pull out the emergency sweater ration! What fresh hell will Jonah endure next?
just when I was about to type "All work and no play makes Jonah a dull boy" ten million times, the power came on.

No doubt K-Lo would say that it was the Hand Of God that preserved Jonah from Nature's savage devastation.
Sorry for the mistakes; I was sloppy.

This is pretty awesome, right here. I've been tweaking the folks down in the D.C. and NoVa area about how this whole "snowpocalypse" thing is known as "Thursday" in Syracuse, but Jonah takes the cake.
As usual.
er .. AM, PM ...
I'm quite sure Jonah is a sniveling, mewling, quivering mound of fat at the slightest hint of danger, but even so, double check the timestamps.
I'm confused. DC got a couple of feet of snow; NYC got bupkis. Did the UWS finally get rid of Jonah?
When my house gets down to 56 degrees, people wear their sweaters or coats instead of going to a hotel. Especially when the outside temperature is in the 30s or lower.
Although: temperature down to 56 in an hour and fifteen minutes? Unlikely at best. More likely power had been out for several hours. Which means "Wear warm clothing" should have been the first thought on getting up and evacuation was certainly either premature or late.
Btw, Martinis and a nice red wine? (1) Ugh and (2) are we sure he's Jewish?
Jonah can survive cold weather better than most due to his built-in insulation.
I like his classic question: "Ideas?"
Do you think Pantload had visions of Mad Max at the Superdome dancing in his head as he contemplated his powerlesness in the face of the Great White Death and beheld swarms of dark ones storming his heartland hearth for warmth?
