Good morning.
It's really cold and snowy here today. I seem to have spent most of this week shoveling snow out of the way.
Today's question; Have you ever been snowed in? What's the worst weather you've ever experienced?
I have the rather dubious pleasure of living in a place that gets monsoons, typhoons and blizzards. We once had almost 2 meters of snow fall over night. The whole town shut down for a few days while we waited for the snow ploughs to come and dig us out. Luckily we had enough food to last until the supermarkets opened again. I've been stock piling food every winter since then, just in case.
I think the worst weather ever was a huge typhoon that hit the city I was living in about 12 years ago. The rain flooded all the subway stations, so hundreds of people couldn't get home and ended up sheltering in their offices or schools over night. The wind knocked out the power too, so there was no AC and everyone was stuck in the dark and humidity. I was lucky enough to get home in one piece, to my hot, sticky apartment.
How about you, have you been through any particularly harsh weather?
