Daring to Be » Weather update.

Well, the blizzard is over and it is crystal clear outside… only bloody cold! Currently -32C, -46C with the windchill, that’s -25F without the windchill for all the fahrenheiters out there, -50F with the windchill!

I actually made it to university for my 8:30 AM class this morning. Abby and I were walking to the bus stop when Heather called, saying our second class was canceled, asking if we were going to bother going at all. We decided yes, since we were at the bus stop anyway, except we got to university and discovered we were two out of about ten students that bothered coming from a class of 50+ students. Grabbed a coffee, and waited for 45 minutes for our bus to come.

We counted no fewer than ten stranded vehicles on our trip home. Some were abandoned right in the middle of the street, so that vehicles had to go around them. They looked eerie… the snow drifts up the side of each door, and over the windows so you couldn’t see in. As I said to Abby, it kind of makes you wonder what happened to the people inside them. I’m assuming the passengers are safe, for I have only heard of two deaths due to the blizzard. I feel silly saying “only” since two is tragedy enough… but seeing those cars buried under snow you have to be thankful there weren’t more.

As for me, I’m glad that I’m home safe once more, cozy and warm in fleece pajamas. I plan on curling up on the couch and watching movies all day. Snow days can be fun, as long as you aren’t crazy enough to step outside into the biting cold!
