F.Y.I. - For Those of You Who Have NEVER Experienced the WHACKY-WICKED-WILES-of-WINTER-WEATHER:
IT can *CHANGE* - Literally -
"IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE"!!
And, be totally "DIFFERENT" just a Block away...
Anyhoo... There's suppose to be the
ODD FLURRY Tonight.
TEMPS will be
DROPPING *AGAIN*, followed by
another bounce-back UP so
IT *can* SNOW some
more later Tomorrow! - Likely, right
AFTER I've
CLEARED-UP *Tonight's* Allotment...
EARLIER... IT was
"CLEAR" Out
when We headed for
MICHAEL'S... Although, I could
SEE a
BAND of SNOW-CLOUDS approaching...
*QUICKLY*!
As
USUAL, We had spent
MORE Time in
There than We
"needed" to! -- I just picked-up
These "TIN"-TILES... [They're actually more COPPERY...]
crap. --
FLAKES are
FALLING! - The
Roads are going to get
*MESSY*! -
SOON!
nuts! -- We
still have to go over to
WALMART for some
GROCERY-"SPECIALS" *and*, I wanted to
CHECK Their "SUPPLY" of
Those STORAGE BOXES! -
[SEE 16JAN2014 POST]
YAY! -
Found ONE! - But,
*ONLY* ONE! - No matter, there might still be some at the
OTHER STORE..?
whatever... TIME to *GO*!!
The
Roads were getting
SLOPPY and the
FLAKES,
"Faster"... We Arrived at
THE-MALL just ahead of
another SQUALLY-bout!
In an effort to
[haha] "TIME-MANAGE", I Let-Off
MOTHER to go into the
GROCERY-STORE to begin
"THAT-Bit", whilst I would head over to
WALMART. - However, by the
Time I
Parked, the
"FLUFF-FEST" was
*already* upon Me!!
THANKFULLY, there were a
FEW BOXES Available! - I got
TWO... Plus, some
Additional-Stuff.
THEN, had to
"Sledge" BACK to
THE CAR... And,
fit the
OTHER BOX into
THESE BOXES as the
WHIRLING SNOW tried to
*FILL* THE VEHICLE...
seriously?! -- *WHAT* is IT with **SNOW-STORMS**
screwing-UP My "SATURDAY"-Shopping THIS Year..?!!
EVENTUALLY, We got the
"GROCERIES" *done*! -
"NOW", it was the
RACE-to-CLEAR-*OFF*-THE-CAR-ENOUGH-to-*SAFELY*-DRIVE-AWAY-BEFORE-IT-GETS-*COVERED*-AGAIN!!
Fortunately, We
only Live about a
KILOMETER away. -
YET,
*SAFELY* NAVIGATING the
UNPLOWED ROADWAY, in the
BLOWING-SNOW, while
HOPING to
NOT *SLIDE* into Anyone and/or FALL
"VICTIM" to
*Their* Driving-PROWESS, just made the
"DISTANCE" that more
*LENGTHY*!
MEANWHILE,
as We pulled into Our
Laneway, the
SQUALL *STOPPED*!?!
--
ohh-kaay...
Needless to say, with much
HASTE, I proceeded to
UNLOAD *STUFF* and get
THE CAR into the
GARAGE *while* I had the
CHANCE! -- Surprisingly, I actually managed to squeeze in a
QUICKIE-SHOVEL-MOP-UP of the
FRONT-WALKWAY, so as
*not* to
Track-In any
EXTRA SNOW into the
HOUSE.
There was only a
FAINT-Falling of FINE-Flakes as I put away the
Shovel, just
inside the
Front of the
GARAGE...
But, in the
scant "SECONDS" it took for Me to
do so and
TURN to go
OUT, I was
*SUDDENLY* facing a
WALL-of-*WHITE* blowing across the THRESHOLD!!
really?!
It took Me about
10-seconds to
CLOSE the
GARAGE-DOOR, and
FORGE My way
*against* the
SWEEPING-WIND,
*into* the
HOUSE!!
...gonna be a LOT of *DRIFT*-SNOW, Tomorrow...
