Snowplowed!

During this horrific blizzard me and my friends had the fabulous idea to make a huge snow fort out of the huge pile of snow that the snowplow man left for us. After 4 hours of intense labor, we were finally done. It was a 3 tunnel, 6 person snow fort with chairs made from snow and cup holders for our drinks. Exhausted, me and my friends went inside the house to warm up and eat. About an hour later we came back out to go sledding. After this we decided to go chill in our snow fort. So we proceeded to chill. after 20 minutes we hear a car, but think it is just my mom coming home from were she was. It wasn't. that very next second our snow fort got POUNDED by the snowplow man. We all sprinted out of the fort as swiftly as possible. It got me thinking that the snowplow man and the people that hire them have no respect for mother nature and what it brings us. Snow is a beautiful thing, and all people talk about is how annoying it is and what a pain it is and just want it removed. I love snow. It is a gift given to us by mother nature that i am grateful for-especially that it helps us to get snow days;) and we should take advantage of it while we have it.

  1. That's true, we sometimes cease to recognize the positive things that come with snow. We always think of the stuff it takes away from us, instead of thinking about the stuff it gives us. One thing that always makes me think of giving when I think of snow is how snow brings back the childhood in all of us, especially when schools and jobs have to be temporarily canceled. truly LOLZed when I heard about this, wish I coulda been there to experience it with you guys...but I was snowed in.
