"Heavy Snow" was the forecast for NY City this morning, and at the time it seemed a bit unlikely. It is 1pm now and has been snowing for hours without stop, coming down pretty good most of the time. It is starting to build up. First time in 23 years it has snowed in the spring, and yet, I am definitely not impressed. I have the weather forecast for a few cities around the world bookmarked, and all of them are markedly warmer than here today, including Yerevan, which is having a beautiful day.

Eh, anyways, we spent a nice quiet weekend in Boston. I got some shopping done for Armenia at two of my favorite stores, Costco and Home Depot. I need a few more things and frankly have no idea where I am going to put it all. I have never had this much stuff to take with me, but I have never gone there with the certainty that I would be there a fair while and that I would be a part owner of a dacha needing lots of great plants they don't have in Armenia :-) If the customs guys stop me like Niziblian says they are doing to some people these days, I will have quite the interesting assortment of things for them to claw through.
