SNOW in the Lifetime


It has been snowing since Monday night (January 26)……2 days and none stop. I have never had such big snow in Terre Haute. This is my first time! Well, it’s beautiful, looking like a white wonderland.

Monday night (Jan. 26): It started to snow after 7:00 pm. Everything -including roads, sidewalks, and roofs - was soon covered with snow. I was in my apartment, enjoying this marvelous moments: thank God! I don’t need to drive or go out during snowing.

The other day (Jan. 27): After the workout in the Leclub, I stopped by my car to see if I need to clean out the snow on my car. Well, the situation was somehow tolerable at that time while things became dramatically “funny” on Wednesday (Jan. 28).

On my way to the language lab around 11:00 am, I found the snow has been “piled up” so high that I should really need a pair of very tall snow boots. Thanks to “somebody,” walking on the sidewalk was very rather comfortable and pleasant. However, while I intended to get into the ISU parking lot, I “physically” buried my boots and part of my Jeans in the snow.
When I finally made it to my car, Connie looked like a Boston Lemon pie with Vanilla sugar powder on the top. And, by the way, the snow surrounding Connie might account for some waitress’ generosity – OR was the vanilla sugar on the house that day? Hahahahahaha…
Anyway, I spent 30 minutes shoveling the snow around Connie before I almost got late to work in the lab. As I left, I found that I will never move the car out of the parking lot even if I shovel all the snow around Connie. The driveway in the parking lot was still filled with snow that normal sedans can hardly go in such a condition.
Well, what the heck! ……I can still use my legs!!!
