Thoughts from the Blizard of 2006

The ghostly appearance of cars becoming visible 30 feet away.
The numerous abandoned cars along the road. (we counted 73 on the way to the park and back on our sledding trip!)
The buzzing silence when the snow was still flying and there were no other cars on the road.
The blazing fire I made from wood I stole from the grocery store.
The bottle of wine shared with a loved one.
The chance to tow cars out of the deep drifts and get them back on the road and on the way home.
The collapsed buildings.
The gas station parking lot driveway completely obstructed with abandoned cars.
The run to the liquor store; the only establishment open that night.
The constant television news repeating the obvious.
The 50+ inch drifts.
The difficulty starting a sledding run in waist-deep snow.
The camaraderie found in new acquaintances.
The love re-kindled.
The time shared together.
