My Snow Day has been very bittersweet. Unfortunately it seems like the snow plowers that I see on TV clearly forgot about us because it took them forever to clean up this part of Queens. I woke up very early this morning because I knew that I had to go to church, because if it were school or work I know I would still go. So my brother and I were shoveling the yard and then we tried to get the cars out. Sounds easy enough right? WRONG I never realized how hard it is to drive in snow... especially snow that is so high already. No one never explained to me the concept of 4 wheel drive but I understood the importance today. No matter how hard i pressed the gas the car was just skidding. Very annoying and very frustrated but eventually we got the cars out. My brother and I did a donut with the car...probably not the smartest idea but it was still fun :)
When we finally got back home the sanitation workers passed through our street but the downside is that when they clean they just push it to the side to clear a path. So it was hard to get into the street and then all our hard work from this morning was blocked by the Snowplows so we couldn't get back into our spot or our driveway. So instead of getting angry we just made the best of it... had snowball fights with the people on my block and I played in the snow with my little cousins. It made me feel like a kid all over again. I love snow =D But now that that's finished... it's time to get back to reality and finish studying for my finals that I have tomorrow...how exciting...
I would like to say people ..."You're Lucky" if they are not living in New Jersey. We always should clean in front of house and side of it in early morning after snow...
ReplyDeleteDont worry they forgot my part of queens too and im right off the 59th street bridge. I couldnt even focus on studying for my final because all i heard was kids playing in the snow i think i was secretly just jealous i couldn't play in the snow with them LOL
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to drive on snow, but it sure is fun :) sorry all ur hard work was pushed to the curb, but your efforts are still appriciated by your family, im sure!
ReplyDeleteI helped a little middle aged woman shovel snow, i felt good about my self :) only to find out later the plow trucks smooshed the snow back onto her driveway :( oh, well...
