The snow season of 2011/12 made an early landing today of all days, on October 29th and even took the electricity from many homes, leaving them without power! What’s up with snow in Maryland today? This is a rare October blizzard. It’s not even December yet, talk less of January/February when we have submitted to the fact that we will have to welcome snow into our lives, whether we like it or not.
What's the world coming to? Is this the result of global warming or something else? I live in Maryland and I had to drive in it and I tell you it was not a pleasant experience at all. Many accidents occured and I was just happy to get off the roads and get home. I then turn on the TV only to see millions of people all over the East Coast in the dark and without power in their homes. I am just grateful that I'm not one of them.
Like I tell people all the time, the only place I like snow is in movies, when it's all clean, white and glistening. However, the reality of snow is of course very different from the Hollywood version. It's freezing, cars are slipping and sliding on the roads, accidents are occuring, the snow is accumulating on your roof and on the top of cars, and after all that, we have to endure the long and dirty looking snow in thaw out. That's why I hate it.
Since we have had to welcome snow so early this year, I guess it’s only going to get worse in January/February and another terrible Snowmageddon awaits us in 2012.
May God help us!
