A couple of days ago
there was a massive snow storm. I was not really affected, but I know that a
lot of people could not get home for a couple of days. Anna lives on campus so
she had three of her friends staying the night because they could not get home.
The snow storm was really bad. We watched as countless people attempted to
drive up a small hill, fail, and abandon their cars. Many people were stuck in
their cars for up to two full days. The roads would freeze, unfreeze, and then
freeze again. It was a horrible experience for many people out there. The temperature
could not get above freezing for long enough to make the snow melt, so even
though it was only two inches, it caused a lot of problems. Class even got
canceled with never happens unless there is an emergency.
Luckily for some people
they lived on campus or had friends that lived on campus. These people made the
most of the ordeal by playing games outside. My personal favorite thing that
everyone did was sledding. Now I could not talk Anna or any of her friends into
actually sledding with me, but I did finally convenience them to let me sled by
myself. I grabbed a paper Christmas plate and went down a steep hill. Anna
helped me because I could not get enough momentum to go down by myself. I even
took a video of my attempt.
Even though this was a
tragic experience for many people, I still had a pretty wonderful time. I liked
having people stay in the room with Anna and I. We played games all night,
drank hot cocoa, and watched American Horror Story. I would not go as far as to
say I want it to snow again, but I did enjoy my couple of snow days.
Here is my epic sledding adventure. We took two videos but the other one did not work.
