Here is my first homemade movie: "Snow falling, 1/27/09."
I looked out the window at 5 a.m., but there was nothing to see but the usual snowless street. Next time I looked was at 8:30 a.m., when Cathy called and said, "You can't walk this morning...it's snowing." Away to the window I flew like a flash, tore open the miniblind, and left the sash shut tight cuz it was C O L D. Well, Clement C. Moore said it better, but the excitement was the same.
It ain't Paris, and it's Georgia Avenue NW, not the Champs d'Elysee. It won't win an Oscar for in the Ultra Short Documentary category, and it shows the gritty view from my sun porch window, but the traffic sounds aren't too bad (no buses, usually 2-3 at a time, idling right smack dab under under the window), and you can SEE THE SNOW FALLING!!
My stars and garters!!!
Cooooooool!!!!!!! That's nice snow! I'm not so anxiously awaiting 5-8 inches of the white stuff tonight through noon tomorrow. I did the obligatory trip and joined my friends and neighbors at the grocery store to stock up on food and beverages to weather the storm.
ReplyDeletethat sounds like fun! we used to do that. everyone in the northern plains states had a full freezer (beef or venison) this time of year....but the things we'd run out of were milk, *cough* cigarettes, bread, and if you had a little one, baby formula. we could hold off on peas and broccoli till the storm passed.
