LET IT SNOW!!!

I was on my way up to Winston to stay with a friend on Friday afternoon. I knew they were calling for snow. I heard reports of it snowing in some of the surrounding areas but by the time I left it still wasn’t snowing in Lexington. The more I crept up on the city of Winston Salem the more and more it looked like snow. As soon as I hit a certain point on Hwy 52 the snow just started pouring down instantly. Everything was already getting covered. I looked around and all I saw was white. This was about the time I reached Winston Salem State and down town Winston but where I was going was a little further. At this point I knew I was going to be snowed in all weekend with my friend Caitlin. I was panicking because the snow was accumulating fast. I was texting her while she was at work telling her the first thing we needed to do was go to Wal-Mart to get some groceries because if I was going to be snowed in all weekend, I was going to eat! She kind of just shook it off like it wasn’t a big deal and there was no need to be in a hurry. So I asked her “HAVEN’T YOU LOOKED OUTSIDE, IT’S COVERED” she replied “it’s only tiny flakes here”. There was no possible way that it was snowing in this certain spot I was at right now and just five to ten minutes up the road it was barely doing anything. Sure enough when I got to her house, nothing was even falling from the sky. It didn’t even start snowing here until 8pm that night. We seriously thought we were getting gypped and it was going to skip up. So we took our time, went out to eat and fiddled around at Wal-Mart for while. We walked out, bags in hand, ready to leave, not expecting any snow… and the whole parking lot was covered. You could barely see an inch in front of your face because the flakes were coming down so hard. It looked like confetti at a party getting thrown out of airplanes on to everything below. The next morning we woke up to about eight inches of pure powdery snow!
