saffiterBlizzard is blizzardy.... O.O
It's been raining/snowing all day today and really, really windy (it broke my umbrella *pouts*. For the longest time it was just rain, but it started snowing heavily about 8pm... and I mean really heavily with lots of wind.
I got home about 9pm and 20 minutes later my power dropped out. Thankfully I have about 100 tea candles, three larger candles (I think they were originally meant to be placed on graves, but I grabbed them from the graveyard isle to use in case of black-outs), and two apple/cinnamon scented candles. I managed to feel around to find the lighter and one of the candles so that I had at least some light and then proceeded to light roughly half the tea lights and all the big candles so that I had enough light in the living room to read by if I got desperate, and enough light in the bathroom to shower by.
The power stayed out until about midnight and it's been dropping in and out since. I've just kept the candles burning. I learnt my lesson the first time after I blew the candles out only to have myself plunged back into darkness 5 minutes later. To date I think it's dropped out 4, maybe 5 times. It's frustrating.
I think the snow's about ankle depth right now... which is just O.O when you consider that the snow was pretty much melted when I woke up this morning.
.... that is some really strong wind O.O
I have decided I don't like blizzards.
