Great Gatsby
[It's a bright, yet sweltering, summer Wednesday morning in 1922 when the clouds arrive - at first it is just a few rainclouds spitting rain on New York throughout the morning, the temperature begins to fall around the lunchtime hour.
By two in the afternoon the clouds become darker, and it falls to just freezing temperature, the snow begins to fall. It's not a blizzard, but it is summer - the news radio can't explain it - some are even enjoying it. It's a small snowfall compared to winter - a few of inches at most - but no one was prepared for it.
The snow storm seems to be centered around and near the theater district, and out in the streets people are either miserable or elated, there doesn't seem to be an in-between. Traffic becomes backed up, pedestrians and drivers alike are completely unprepared for a summertime snow storm after all. Though some view it as an even further excuse to celebrate.
Like everything in this world, the snow sparkles against the shiny backdrop of the city. Many residents are simply taking it in stride and finding an excuse to continue in their lavish lifestyles and bunk in at a singular location into the nighttime hours, the parties continue.
The cold weather continues through Wednesday night and into Thursday morning when the sun and steamy New York heat returns and the thaw begins.]
