Hit and Hit Hard: Blizzard of 2013 "Nemo"

It started on Friday during the day as just snow even though it was said that it's supposed to rain.  The snow was coming down and coming down hard. I was on my way to school when it happened too. The meterologist on the news said that it would be 12-16 inches here in Nassau County, but Suffolk County would get more than Nassau County. It was crazy because I still had to go to work and I was traveling via public transportation and walking once getting off the bus. So, I was hoping to go home after because it seemed like it wouldn't even give up. It was getting worse and worse when I was on my way to work. It was first like ice rain or something and then became snow right after that when I was walking towards work. It was trending on Facebook too. One of the people that I knew said it was raining in one town and then snowing in another. I really wanted to go home while I was at work, I wasn't sure if I would have rehearsal or whatever other things that I had going on. When I finally saw that they sent word that things would be canceled, I was so happy. I got to home and relax for once in my life. It was cool because I slept and what not. I believed that this storm came because it was a build up of the snow that we lacked this winter season and this winter season is much colder than last year's winter season. On Saturday, there was nowhere to go either because things were crazy outside and thanks to the hardworking people in my house, our driveway/walkway was cleared really nicely. But, I will say this: my block ended up being horrible they plowed or whatever but the road was so bumpy because it was icy from the temperatures.  It is still bad anyway and it is now raining today after all of that snow. I can't say that  the rain in this case helps because due to the temperatures being below freezing the water in the streets are sure to turn to ice in the night. This is not good for the commute for people who are driving to work and even the buses. I just hope that it improves because it seems just like two years ago that this snow is here to stay. They are now saying that Valentine's day that there is chances of snow occurring too. This won't be good for some of you who have plans. I don't have plans; at least not on Thursday. Some people are still suffering  in other places due to the unplowed roads on their street. There were some outages but not as great as with the effects of Hurricane Sandy. There was more preparation this time because instead of LIPA, National Grid took over and LIPA had to take a backseat to National Grid.  I will show you some photos of my block and also mountains of snow in the church parking lot(at the end of this blog). I was also sent some pictures of what it looked like in Jericho but I didn't keep them unfortunately. I just hope that they get the unplowed roads of snow done because people are once again affected by yet another storm.
