The Great Blizzard of 2009
Hey, everyone! I thought you'd all like to hear that we are alright, since I'm sure you've heard on the news that our area had a blizzard.
It snowed about half an inch to an inch in the Charlotte metro area, and everyone is freaking out. Matt and I have to laugh at all of the hysteria. People are rushing to the grocery stores and buying all of the milk, bread, eggs and other essentials. There is more panic now than there was September when the hurricane was coming.
My school is delaying class/work for two hours. All of the schools in Charlotte closed for the day.
Matt's coworker called in and said he couldn't make it to work because of the snow. Another coworker emailed him this hilarious response: "I can not believe the amount of snow you received!! I have called Mint Hill and they are sending a snow plow to help you get out! I gave them your cell number and the driver will call when he is at your house. Because of the blizzard conditions you may not be able to see him when he gets there, so stay by the phone."
It's all they are talking about on the news, and the stations are all advising that if you're driving anywhere to pack extra clothes, blankets, food, and make sure you give your loved ones an itinerary of your trip, no matter how short.
In the meantime, my loving husband decided to borrow the snow scraper from the Subaru (it has a longer handle), and forgot to put it back in the car. I think I might have to light some road flares and maybe someone will come dig me out of the snow.
I'm getting a haircut at 11 a.m., so if you don't hear from me later I may have been a casualty of the Great Blizzard of 2009; consider this an itinerary of my trip. I'm attaching a picture of the blizzard, because I'm sure it's a historic moment. After all, nothing else newsworthy is happening today, right?? After all, inaugurations happen every four years but this blizzard is a once in a lifetime event.
Love,
Brianna
