Taking Advantage of Nemo

Hi, everyone!  How’s your weekend going so far?  For those of you in Nemo’s path, I hope you made it out OK.  Weather reports say New York City got 12 inches, which really isn’t that bad compared to other areas.  TIME magazine posted some great photos on Instagram of post-Nemo shenanigans in Central Park.

Too bad I left my snow pants in CNY.  There was also an impromptu bike “race.”

That would’ve been a lot of fun!  Instead of going sledding or bike riding this morning, I settled for a pancake breakfast.

Meh, they tasted OK; definitely need to tweak the recipe before sharing.

I stayed put today and took care of dusting, vacuuming, organizing, and meal prepping, and I also finally got around to giving my road bike a thorough cleaning.  I’ve been procrastinating this task since October, so I’m glad my ride is squeaky clean.

Were you affected by Nemo?  How did you spend your Saturday?

  1. Nice…yeah we got probably about a foot in Oswego but nothing too ridiculous or abnormal you know? It was kind of like a normal snow storm we get hit with.

    Sad day about the pancakes but hopefully you get them tweaked to be perfect! :-)

    • It’s so weird that 12 inches qualifies as blizzard, right? And yeah, I’m not quite the pancake master like you, yet–maybe one day. ;)

  2. I had such a great long run through the park today seeing all the cute families and people strolling through the park, checking out the aftermath of the storm. So many kids on sleds!! It was a tough 9 miles just because the park is so hilly, but I was so happy I got out there :)

    Can’t wait to get that pancake recipe!!

  3. We were affected, we got about 15 inches of snow. We ended up running on the treadmill yesterday, not good. Today we ran outside though. MUCH better!

  4. Trying to get back in the swing of things…somehow in my blog absence it showed me not following your blog. Weirdness! Saturday..my kids came for a visit and we had a great time. The pics of NY have been beautiful. Stay strong.

    • Good to hear from you, Sheila! I switched hosts a few weeks ago, so I “lost” a few followers in the process–glad you’re back! :)

  5. I’m glad that you’re okay there! NYC has been a crazy place lately.

    When I get snowed in, I’m all about doing chores and getting things done, too. At that point, it’s hard to come up with excuses :P
