SNOW 2011!

Last Sunday, I woke up to a nasty surprise; SNOW! If you really knew me then you would know that I really don't like snow. I may even go so far as to say that I hate snow. Why you ask? Well, IT'S COLD! My name is Summer (just in case you forgot) and I really live up to my name in that I don't do too well in cold weather. Granted, the weather actually warmed up a bit while it snowed because before then, it was too cold for it. Anyways, I of course had to take a pic of the disaster.

Little did I know that this was only the beginning.

Later that day, I was supposed to go over to the Brits' place for some fun and video games. I thought, "self, it's not going to snow all day. I can just go over later when it lets up a bit." Boy was I wrong. But never to be thwarted by the elements, I wrapped up and prepared myself for the journey. When I walked outside, I was greeted by a mini winter wonderland! I have to admit, it was beautiful, but that did little in the efforts of making feel all warm inside.

Yes, cars were out and about. In winter, most people put snow tires on their cars whether it snows or not; they are always prepared.

This little on was outside just having a blast!

The trees dressed up in their winter best.

I continued my walk up to the main road. It wasn't fun slipping and sliding all over the place, but I was determined; I was going to get to the doughnut shop :p Just for the record, I wasn't just going for me, it was my task to bring the snacks; Lauren was going to cook dinner, and Paul was in charge of the video games and ice cream. We were going to get fat that night (^o^)! Anyways, while on my epic adventure through the blizzard of deadly snow, I did manage to take some more pics it's beauty.

I'm SO glad I have indoor parking for my bike Orenji-kun O_O

Do you see what's behind the trees?

How about now?

There it is! The house that winter forgot :p

Finally, I made it to Mister Donuts and promptly got a taxi from there to the Brits' apartment. It's not that far but I didn't mind paying the $10 to get there. However, the ride there was TERRIFYING! How dare he drive at normal speed in the slush?! I almost peed myself in fright! TERRIFYING!
*Breathes* But, I did make it there in one piece. I even received a bit of help along the way from my friends :-)

By the end of the day, I wasn't too worse for wear. I survived the day of snow...but I wasn't out of the woods yet...

To be continued....
