Just Another Sunday Night

They say be careful what you wish for it may just come true. Me being a snow lover and avid snowmobile rider have been wishing for a good snow this season and boy did we get one ! Friday mid afternoon it started with little flurries, a light snow , blowing around as the cars passed along the roads. As the day went longer the snow seemed to pick up its pace as well as change its texture to a more wet heavy flake. Darkness fell and so did the snow heavy wet flakes falling at a rate of 2-3 inches an hour. As i sat inside watching the snow got more intense than i have seen in years. After waiting til around midnight and after a brief nap i was off to go out and play in this white beauty. Now it was snowing intensely, sometimes sideways as the wind blew it like white sheets flapping in a warm summers breeze. I had cleared my sidewalks twice already and there was now another 3-4 inches on the walks again. As i geared up putting on layers off warm clothing i could hear the sounds of other snowmobiles racing up and down the roads. In my township they don't tend to get to the roads to quick so what snow had fallen so far was now 9- 10 inches and had not been plowed yet. The roads were empty of cars and noisy tractor trailers.
It felt as if i was the only one moving about everyone else snow bound in their homes. We rode all through the night and into the morning stopping only for gas and a short and much needed bathroom stop. We ended up eating breakfast at a waffle outside of Baltimore keeping in my mind i live in pa, about 70 miles from there. After eating and refueling for the long and tiresome ride home we headed out. First we rode straight up rt. 83 to york and dropped a few friends there then back to Dover to an others house, finally ending up home around 11:45 sat morning . Not realizing what i was coming home to as i pulling in to realize wow i now have to shovel this freaking mess. After taking a nice nine hour power nap and a long, hot shower i felt ready to conquer the task at hand. So i drove to Lowe's in Hanover and bought a snow blower and had the job done in 20 minutes . I bet you thought i was really going somewhere with this story but nope!! All yeah the Superbowl was good happy Monday A...B......C..... ya
