BLIZZARD LIKE CONDITIONS

Our snowfall has definitely turned into blizzard like conditions with the winds going at 25-30 mph. Around 11:00 this morning there was a lull in our conditions so we thought we would try to drive down to the local department store to pick up mom's pictures and check out some curtains for Mimi's and Mei Mei's bedrooms. Then we received a phone call from the guy who was going to come to the house to fix our generator. Therefore we hightailed it back home. While dad was with the fix it man, mom decided to go to Safeway to stock up on more groceries. Fortunately mom stocked up on a whole lot of non-pershiable items last month. Today's groceries were mainly fruits and vegetables and some can goods. Man was there a whole bunch of people there getting prepared for the holidays and snowstorm. The cashier called it "black friday at Safeway". Then mom went over to the hardware store (ton of people there too) to purchase a snow shovel and all that was left were the plastic ones. Egads! Finally she decided that since her nail salon was in the same complex she would go and pamper herself and get a manicure and pedicure before the storm would hit. She got home in time too cause man did it hit! The newscaster Shaniqua Manning says that we are to hunker down for the next couple of days. They also say that this is the worst storm that hit this area in a decade.
