"Ah, yes. I remember it well...the Blizzard of '16." Oh. Wait a minute. The blizzard is ongoing. I don't have to remember anything. All I have to do is to look out the window. It's pretty amazing; isn't it? Yesterday at this time, there was no snow on the ground.
I lead such a simple life that my day today was like any other. I did some laundry. I wrote letters to friends. I took some pictures. The blizzard has added some variety. I had fun taking pictures as the accumulations grew. It's still growing. The forecast says it will snow overnight and won't stop until late tomorrow. I remember a blizzard in '77 and '96. During the first one I was pregnant and had a seven-year-old daughter. We were trapped in the house for three days. During the second one I was caring for my elderly mother, who was in a wheelchair. I was only trapped for two days that time. This time, I am the little old lady and someone else is in charge of snow removal and seeing to it that I am safe.
If you live long enough snow storms are as much fun as they were when you were a child! It's my plan to build a snowman on Monday, once the snow has stopped. Why not?
How many inches of snow did you get when it was all over?
ReplyDeleteWe received 24 inches, Heather. It's melting rapidly now, though.
