RE: Preparing For a Winter Storm
Oye! I am not looking forward to winter :-( I feel like winter sticks around here a lot longer than summer. Chicago gets so cold. I know there are colder places, but I take public transportation which means being outside all year long for a longer duration than I would prefer! KEEP WARM!
Oh, brrr!
I moved to a northern town one December 18th. Two days later I drove to work in the newly falling snow. I got stuck at work in a blizzard and had to leave my truck as it did not like the cold and died on me.
I took busses, had to get home before it got bad and I was sleeping in my truck!
First bus was ok, but took forever due to accidents from ice.
I was stuck downtown in the outside terminal for my second bus. There were hundreds of us waiting on our respective busses, freezing.
Homeless people came by each of us and gave us plastic grocery bags, showing us how to put them over our socks in our shoes to trap the heat.
This was so amazing of them. I will never forget this. They didn't have to be out there helping, but they were braving the wind and snow. For our survival.
Wow!! That's crazy! It's nice to see good in humanity!
