Whiteout

Coming home from work yesterday there was a light flurry in the air — but the flakes were BIG. The kind that look like cornflakes. Seriously. I hopped in the car and headed home. There was a lot of wind, so stuff was just kinda blowing around and nothing was sticking. Pretty much uneventful trip until I came to the part on I-71 where you start heading downhill toward the tunnel near the stadium… and then I saw it. Looked like a cloud of smoke on the ground, and lots of red tail lights. I seriously thought there was an accident… until I realized it was all blowing snow, so thick you could barely see through it. I had never seen something like this before — it was crazy. Seriously, this “whiteout” had a front so well defined that it looked like there was a cloud on the ground. I made my way through and headed through the tunnels and out the other side and while it was still snowing fairly heavily, the cloud was gone. Must have been something about the winds coming off the river and all the air currents surrounding the downtown area. Weird.

Today, two songs called Snowblind. One from my past, and one new one I just found:

Listen to Styx’s “Snowblind

Snowblind” – Rob Thomas

And another “Snowblind” for Keith…
