Step 1: Do not underestimate the bravery of New Yorkers.
What do you mean "cancel school"? That's hilarious. There's only 8 inches of snow outside, we can take it!
Step 2: Even if it's pretty, do not go outside and take pictures of the snow.
I know you want to impress all your friends who still live in California, but this is a given. Instagram can wait until tomorrow.
Step 3: Drink lots and lots and lots of tea.
Tea is good. Tea is healthy. Tea is nirvana. In fact, don't drink anything else. Just tea.
Step 4: Wear more clothing.
No, those tank tops and shorts are not going to be warm enough.
Step 5: Wrap yourself in a ball and do not talk to ANYONE.
You don't want to risk your own health for the sake of speaking to another human being. Just stay wrapped up in a corner and entertain yourself with dreams of the beach and In-N-Out.
Stay safe and warm, everyone!
