Hello Astoria,
Happy Snow Day!!!!
Thank whoever is shoveling in front of your building, and kudos if that person is you! Astoria looks like a winter wonderland but it's super slippery even where it's been shoveled so be careful if you venture out!
Hopefully the snow will melt a bit on Wednesday before we get more on Thursday? Is this the most winter-y winter ever or what?
Scroll on for this week's events - tip extra well to everyone who trudged through the snow to make your experience great!
Cheers,
Stacey
