I'm going to make these for enjoying while I watch the 'Honeymooners' marathon on television. So much better than going to Times Square.

I remember another snow storm here in Indiana about 26-27 years ago where we had over 2 feet of snow and a LOT of wind, to the point where some underpasses on the interstate were actually closed due to the humongous snow drifts.

Comfortably far back in the last century, when I was 20, a small-town Oregon girl, newly married and newly transplanted to the NY area, I was on the edge of Times Square one New Year's Eve with my husband.
