Oh, the Weather Outside is Frightful


I opened my door to a small mountain of snow today, a shock that I was ill prepared for. A winter Scrooge I am not, usually snow fills me with a wonderment and joy equal that of a five year old discovering a quarter in place of a tooth nestled beneath his pillow. However, lacking an automobile that easily plows through snow and ice, I was forced to shovel my drive way.

If I owned a snow shovel this would not be a daunting task, but the closest thing to a snow shovel that I possess is a gardening spade which was left by a previous tenant. Obviously a driveway congested by snow cannot be conquered with such a meager instrument so I searched the depths of my basement for a more appropriate tool. It was in the dank cobwebbed laden cellar (I really need to give it a good cleaning) that I found my makeshift Excalibur leaning against a shadowed corner. I lugged my newly found weapon, a large push broom with tattered and sparse bristles, out into the swirling snow.

I managed to disburse and displace enough of the snow to slide my snow capped, fire engine red chariot from the driveway. The roads were eerily clear as I made my way to work, yet the storm rages on even now, and I can only imagine how snow laden my drive way will be when I arrive home this evening.
