It snowed.
New York City is covered in snow. This picture is from the window of room 918. It’s pretty epic.
If you’re stuck here, you can stay with us for not very much, and we’ll buy you a Stumptown hot chocolate while you’re here. If you’re not stuck here, you’re kind of missing out because it looks really beautiful in the streets, and the hot chocolate is...
