New York City's Grey Snow

First of all, did I use the proper grey? gray? Where's my Working With Words?! Anyway, last night a couple of inches of snow were dumped on the city. In Queens this morning, it was beautiful...big wet snowflakes, not too cold or windy...and then after a fuck up on the train and one hour and a half commute to the city (plus a 4 block walk), I trudged though the most disgusting, sloshy, nasty snow I've ever seen in my entire life. I finally got to work. Welcome to the city in the winter, I suppose. Ick. This day has just confirmed the fact that I need a pair of weather-all boots, wellies, golashes, or whatever the fuck they're called.
