Blizzard!

Wow. We're up to about a foot of snow in places now. It's nearly white-out conditions out there. I just went for a walk along the hilltop, and I had to run back inside and grab my ski goggles just to be able to see. So, naturally, I went back out into the blizzard and climbed the hill next to my appartment.

It was awesome. The wind was strong enough that I could lean forward into it and not fall down. I got bumped around a bit on the hilltop, but it was so cool to lean in to the snow and wind over the edge of the drop and not be able to see the ground below... not because it was far down, but because the snow-ice-wind mix was so dense.

It was about at that point when I realized that I wasn't wearing any long underwear, and my legs were starting to freeze. So, I decided I would hike back down to my nice and toasty appartment and defrost. On my way back, the snow was up to my knees in some places.

Dang.

That was freakin' fun!

There are just some things you should never tell your mother.
