That was not fun. Let's not do it again any time soon.
Most of the time, the weather forecasts get it wrong when predicting a big storm. Yesterday, sadly, they got it right, as a dumping of slush, followed by snow and insanely high wings (with gusts of over 60 mph) caused massive drifts and power outages all throughout the area.
It was so bad I had to go into work early yesterday to let everyone know about it. That was not fun, nor was the struggle through unplowed streets and four foot snow drifts.
The pictures, though, made up for it a little--
In a way, believe it or not, trudging through the insanity was preferable to staying home. You see, like a vast majority of the city, we didn't have any power. At our place it went out around 2am, finally returning nine hours later. By then Loraine, who had a snow day, was getting a little chilly, so I was glad for her that it finally did come back.
I was also glad for all the food that was in our freezer, but I was happier for Loraine.
Once it finally ended, you could tell just what had happened--
Now the cleanup begins. I have no idea how long it's gonna take to remove the snow, make the streets passable, and reopen the city, but I have an idea it may take a bit.
Because that's just how bad it was.
*****
Because both tomorrow and Thursday are corporate holidays, this is the last one of these for 2025. I'll be back Friday, hopefully with the thought of what we just went through erased from my mind. So have yourself a Happy New Year.
See you in 2026!
