Weather.com has issued a blizzed warning for Manhattan, including the following statement: THIS IS A LIFE-THREATENING WINTER WEATHER SITUATION! PREPARATIONS TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY NEED TO BE COMPLETED BY NOON SATURDAY!

And, HA! I can’t help but laugh, because here I am excited as can be with my newly purchased instant hot chocholate and soup, and I still totally want to make a snowman on the roof of my building.

Life-threatening…ppsh. I suppose I must make “preparations to protect life” for Rufus’s sake. He’s sleeping in the closet, where it is warm.

Smart kitty.

(And, I feel totally terrible for making my favorite Chinese place deliver to me in such frigid temperatures, but, like, I REALLY wanted some sesame seed chicken)
