Snow/na/do

Y’all making a gal feel cared about- thanks for checking on us. So far, so good. I was really looking forward to an afternoon walk-steps on fresh snow with flurries enveloping me. That desire is gone. 100% gone. Hell to the NO. Nope. Nuh-uh. I slipped boots on to simply step outside to get our mail. Our building’s front door already had a significant drift. I shoveled maybe a 5 ft square area and my face froze. I took my gloves off to use the tiny mail key- my hands have never frozen so quickly. The wind is wild. The idyllic snow-globe flurries I desired do not exist. This is a full on Snownado situation. There are 75+mph gusts. I’m a sturdy Midwest gal and this wind pushed me around like a bowling ball scattering pins. I was outside for maybe 5 minutes. That was enough. I’m choosing our couch, fireplace, crochet, hot chocolate & dunkin’ toast. Happy nor’easter folks.
