Snowed in. Literally. Wow, I don't remember anything like this before. Maybe on Wake Up Hill, I remember Dad going somewhere on snowshoes, and drifts over the top of the Datsun.
But it's different in the city. In the city you take certain conveniences for granted.
It's day two of our "State of Emergency". Today was much better than yesterday, weather-wise. Yesterday the wind whipped and howled, today the sun was shining.
They are asking people to stay home, stay inside - let them clear the snow. There is so much of it - sooooooo much. Impossible to explain because the whole sensation is.... it's way more than visual.
I had to get out today. Not to shovel, just to see what was going outside. Just to get out. The air is fresh and clear. The sky a brilliant sapphire blue. White snow deserts and piles way over my head. Sidewalks 4ft high made of styrofoamy snow.
Several things going on tonight that I was looking forward to. Hermana said "yes, I think the bars will be open, and I think they will be
packed! " I agreed.
However, we are under curfew this evening, ordered off the streets (on foot or in vehicles) by 11pm or risk a thousand dollar fine. So all the shows have been cancelled. And everyone is stuck inside
again.
It's sort of like being
grounded.
But it's pretty cool.
