Don't eat the black snow!

[baratron]

New York's snow has started to melt, so there is slush everywhere - which is actually much more slippery than unmelted snow. Also, all the snow & slush along the edges of the roads is a delightful grey or black colour. You've heard of "Don't eat the yellow snow", but this is just silly.

I don't believe this - I just typed a long post about visiting the World Trade Center site and the Stonewall Inn, and I think bloody livejournal has eaten it. And going back to the "Update Journal" page (which usually contains the text of your eaten entry) gives me a page containing bugger all apart from the title "Update Journal". Crap.

Update: Well and truly eaten. But I spent $4.50 typing in that entry (10c per minute), and I'm not going to do that again. I'll retype it later when I'm at hoopycat's, treacle_well's or pir's and not paying through the nose for net access! Sorry :(

You could have come out here for net access...I'm a short train or bus ride from NYC.

Oh, now you mention that... when I've already mostly made plans for the rest of my time here :(

My train to Rochester is booked already and can't easily be changed :(

Apologies. Had I realized how much time you were planning to spend in New York I would have tried to pre-arrange some time to invite you out here, or to come in and meet up with you.

Beware asshole drivers who love to drive through the slush piles on the sides of the roads and get you with it!

and yes, I know the black slush/snow thing verrrry well.
Aww. Memories...
