Holiday Weather

It was an epic blizzard, the kind of storm the details of which will be based down to my grandchildren and great grandchildren. Those young folk will shiver to thought of pulling abandoned vehicles from twelve foot drifts while howling winds whipped snow flakes and ice crystals into impenetrable walls of white that obliterated any hope of finding safety.

Well, okay, the drifts were three feet deep, my nephew's car was stuck only thirty feet from my house and I could see the lights on the front of my house through the blowing snow - but we all COULD have been hopelessly lost forever.

I hope never again to experience holiday weather the likes of that which recently passed.
