Waking up on Feb.2 on my snow day, at 5:15a.m. to help my mom shovel the snow was irritating and annoying. Once I saw the snow I was actually very surprised on how much snow there was. the snow want up to my thighs. Unfortunately we do not own a snow blower so we had to use shovels. On top of that my dad wasn't home to help, he slept over night at his job to be on the safe side since he works in the city. So that was even more of a reason I HAD to help my mom. After an hour of trying to shovel, only successing 1/3 of the drive way, my neighbor finally came out to help us, his drive-way wasn't as bad since he got half his driveway powed. Its crazy how the snow storm was able to unite neighbors. We were all done shoveling my drive-way, my neighbors driveway, and the person who lives three doors down from me at like 11. After that my neighbor want and picked up one of my family friends to came over with her little sister because their neighborhoods power was out. They spent the night and the whole day at my house. The snow storm brought all of us together. My dad told me that Lake Shore Drive was closed and that there were more than 700 cars abandoned. He told me that everyone was outside on Lake Shore Drive with their dogs, children, friends playing in the snow. I thought that was crazy. Thursday, February 3, 2011
