BLIZZARD IS STILL DANGEROUS

 

BLIZZARD IS STILL DANGEROUS

BY:NUALA RODGERS (REPORTING FROM DEDHAM)

The blizzard is still dangerous to drive in. I wouldn't recommend skiing, snowboarding, tubing in this weather because the gusts of winds are really blowing hard, and the snow is hard with the wind. In Dedham there is about 2 feet of snow. I was trying to shovel a little path to get out of my driveway, and boy, was that snow thick! I wasn't wearing my snow pants at first, but then, when I stepped in it felt like quicksand like I was sinking in, there was so much snow! But what's kind of frustrating is when you shovel, the winds are going to keep blowing, and soon, the snow will be right where it was before. A few hours after, I went back out. I was out there for about 3 hours, helping my neighbor, trying to sled, (but didn't success)and trying to make a snow house (not successful either)while my dad was using our snow blower snow blowing the driveway. NOTE: THE SNOW DRIFTS ARE BAD. I could barely move the snow was higher than my waist! Seriously! When you try to shovel sometimes its irritating because when you are trying to shovel one way, the snow blows on the back of your coat and it crackles, and if you are faced the other way, it blows in your face. My friends on the reporter team have to stay in the cold, and report for people watching the news, and I feel kind of bad for them because they have to stay in the cold standing and talking. And when your standing, you really FREEZE TO DEATH in this snowing weather. In some places in Massachusetts, the snow keeps escalating and increasing. Well, I'll be reporting some more later!!
