Well we have had our second flight cancelled and now have no choice but to ride this out at the Waldorf. Luckily insurance will pay for the extended stay so things could be worse. At the moment the earliest we can get out is the 31st which puts us into Zurich on the 1st so we will have to totally rearrange the Italy trip and pray that I can get the hotels and trains to move dates without penalties.
New York today is weird. 90% of stores are closed as the entire public transport system has been shut down. The hotel has limited staff so full room service etc is not possible. The couple of grocery stores that are open are getting the shelves stripped as no one is quite sure what will happen. Like the rest of NYC we have made suitable preparations. This morning it was off to the bottle shop for 3 days supply of drinkable wine, then onto Barnes and Noble for a couple of books and finally the green grocer for a sandwich.
Never thought I would see the day when Bloomingdales was boarded up on a Saturday morning. A lot of people are getting very jumpy about what could occur if the power goes out as is predicted and lots and lots of shops have taken the precaution of Roller grills or as in the pic totally boarding everything up to prevent possible looting and damage from broken glass etc etc etc.

No way is 3 bottles enough you will need them just to get up the stairs! Still raining at Agnes. If anyone complains I tell them it could be worse, they could be in NYC.
