What is better than the first snow fall of the year? 

I was so pleased to wake up to a fresh layer of snow on Saturday morning! A sure sign of winter and the holiday season. While I have visited New York in the winter many times and seen the city covered in snow over the years, this was the first time since my move to New York this past summer that it has snowed. So of course, I found it simply magical!
