the storm

Friday morning I watched the weather and I heard 1-3 inches of snow. I work at the grounds crew at Northwestern College and when ever it snows I have to work. So I thought to myself, "1-3. Thats not bad." Well they were wrong. Today, Saturday, we have gotten about a foot and a half of snow. From what I've heard this is going down as the fourth largest storm in the metro ever, the largest since the Halloween blizzard of 1991. Well if you put one and one together you get shoveling for eight hours.... so far. The crew started at eight this morning and we were able to be done at four. But you guessed it, we are going back at nine tonight, and six tomorrow morning. After all we have done today, it looks like in some places that we have not done anything. It has been a day to remember, that is for sure. Anyone who is thinking about going out on the roads in the metro let me say one thing to you. DON'T !!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is not worth it. The plows are not even going anymore. So warm up with a nice cup of coffee, grab a good book, movie, or loved one, and be glad your inside. Lastly, if you have failed at anything else, you can always be a weatherman.
