As I look out my window at ten and a half inches of perfectly powdery snow, I can’t help but thank the good Lord above that the power is still on. This time last year – and I mean EXACTLY this time last year, to the day – the infamous Ice Storm of 2009 had wreaked its frozen havoc over the whole of northeast Arkansas. This year, it’s just snow. Drifts and drifts of fluffy, white snow.
Admittedly, we never expected we’d get quite this much. Mostly because the weather reports here are always exaggerated compared to what really comes. However, I woke up this morning to such blinding snowfall that I could scarcely see out the window. It lasted all throughout the morning and into the day. Now night has fallen and it is still spitting snow. And according to the radar, it’s showing no sign of stopping until late Saturday.
It doesn’t bother me, in all honesty. Cabin fever will set in eventually, but we all have four-wheel drives. There are, however, some around me who don’t seem to care for it. My dog is one of them.
And now, a tale of winter misery. Starring Lassee.
