Blizzard ’06

Blizzard seems to be a  word that New England meteorologists use for any snow storm forecast greater than four inches.  In this storm, they were mostly right.

Snow fell for most of the day ending around 7pm.  High winds with the snow fall made for almost white out conditions.  Rhode Island was put in a state of emergency banning all road traffic.

Also, for the first time, I actually heard a real announcement on the Emergency Broadcast System.  My parents were equally shocked as they’d never heard anything but the test pattern from the EBS in their life.

About two feet of snow fell when the storm was finally over.  Nice excuse to play with the snow blower >:0)

After the driveway was done, I walked with my brother to Honey Dew for a coffee.  But alas…  Honey Dew was closed T_T

Sorry I don’t have any photos to accompany this report; I was staying warm inside playing the final day of C4 PTS.
