Outside- the wind is howling, the lights are flickering and the snow is twirling around in circles. Then all of a sudden-BOOM! The lights are out. We lost power!
10:25- smells like oatmeal, we have a gas stove so we could use it while the power was out. I feel the soft, fuzzy blanket against my cheek. The oat meal tastes delicious as I place the warm spoon on my tongue.
11:23- Running outside in the freezing snow. as my toes are becoming numb. watching the trees sway back and forth in the wind. Watching my dog hop up and down in the snow. The weather is getting better, but not too much better.
12:20: We are all sitting quietly until, all of a sudden-CRASH! Another tree comes toppling over outside. It wasn't getting better. The snow began to pile up on trees making them lean into an arch.
1:30- I press my face up to the glass of the window looking out into the winter wonderland. My face feeling the chill, then sending it down my spine to my toes. The fireplace door swinging open with a creek and the wind still acting out.
2:25- piling clothes on my body, bundling up in my jacket. Than, getting tempted to put my snow pants on and run in the snow. Walking outside and smelling the fresh cold air enter my lungs. As I run my face burns. Yet I still run.
3:19- playing a board game in front of my fireplace with my family. The warmth heats my back and feels great. We laugh together and have an amazing time.
4:21- I look outside seeing simply white and nothing else, no grass, just white shapes. Wishing the light =s could go back on as we search for candles around the house.
5:28- Dark outside, yet I can hear the wind pushing up against the house. My mom makes warm chilli that smells great. We sit around the table in the dark with only the lit candles around us.
6:24- we sit around the fireplace, yet again playing a game of cards, until, right then and there...DING! The lights come on and I scream! I begin to kiss the TT.V. and imedeatly turn it on, wait for it wait for it.... Theres no cable.
7:20- We all sit in our living room until my dad gets a phone call.. No school tomorrow either?!We scream. High pitched screams are everywhere screeching my ears! I love the snow
